James started with Mel in September 2013 aged 11 months. As a first time Mum, Mel put me at ease and reassured me James would be perfectly fine in her care. He's been there almost 2 years and has received a good foundation ready to start nursery.

James is a very confident and well mannered little boy. He listens well and knows his numbers. He plays well and is kind to other children. These skills have been installed by Mel of which I am very appreciative.

Mel keeps me up to date with any new skills James has developed as well as keeping a record of his progression. Mel has been very supportive with any concerns I have had and has provided me with sound advice.

Mel provides variety throughout the day, taking the children to playgroup, the library or the park and providing indoor and outdoor play within the home setting. James has lunch at Mel's being offered a variation of healthy home cooked meals.

James has never been upset to go to Mel's, in fact he runs in never looking back and has to be coasted out as he's too busy enjoying himself.

Mel has a caring and fun personality, giving James loves if he's out of sorts and always making him laugh.

When James starts school, I may need assistance with the school run and I wouldn't ask anyone else but Mel because I trust her to care for my child and keep him safe.
