About Me

Hi my name is Melisa, I'm 34 and I live on a quiet cul-de-sac with my husband Matthew, our 8 year old son, 3 year old daughter and our Cocker Spaniel Coco

I have been working in childcare since 2009, I worked for 8 years in a private day nursery, the last 3 of these as the Deputy Manager. Before registering as a childminder in 2017. I have a great deal of experience in providing quality childcare, supporting children to flourish as young learners. I have a first class BA (Hons) Degree in Early years as well as childminding and child development qualifications.

I have a dedicated playroom with access immediately into a fully enclosed garden, offering a free flow play opportunity from indoors to outdoors.

I offer a welcoming home environment with a range of fun and stimulating resources and activities to engage children of all ages.

I have a full clean driving licence providing the opportunity to explore the local area on many outings, including trips to the local park, play gyms, farms, library and much more.

Please contact me for more details

I can also offer before and after school care for children attending Golcar (Manor Road) Junior, Infant and Nursery School.

My Daughter has been going to Mel's little explorers for over 14 months now, since she was 6 months .
I was really apprehensive about putting her in childcare as any 1st time parents would be but it's the best thing we did.
I am really happy with the care and service Melisa provides and now my son has started too and he is 6 months old.

As a family we definately recommend Mel's little explorers .
