About Me

*VACANCIES FROM SEPTEMBER 2025*
Melanie's Minding is a home-based, Ofsted registered Childminding service based in Felixstowe, Suffolk. I am pleased to be able to offer my home and care for children of all ages, from birth, through the Early Years and to pre-school and beyond. Full and part time places can be arranged with Early Education funded sessions catered for. I also offer school holiday sessions for older children.

Outdoor play and adventure are a part of the daily routine - with the beach just outside the front door and many parks and gardens to explore, wellie walks, bug hunting and nature trails are a must. Working with local families, creating links with other childcare providers and offering a professional, personal and high quality service, I hope that if you are looking for a childminder, or know someone that is, that you will be in touch with Melanie's Minding.
