My baby boy (7 months) just started at Mel’s this week along with his big sis (2 years) and I can tell he already loves it there! We struck gold when we got my kids both a place with Mel and Jean, wouldn’t change them for the world! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mel and Jean are really great with my daughter, she has settled in so well and loves her days going before and after school and in the holidays. The pictures and communication throughout the day are great, they always think of fun activities and trips out for the day which my daughter really enjoys. I am so glad I found Mel's Munchkins it really is the perfect setting and very local to me and the school.

My son started with Mel 9 months ago and to be honest not sure what we would do without her and Jean. They provide such a fun , safe loving and happy environment. My son is very particular with who he feels safe and comfortable with and I can truly say he is his best and whole self when with Mel , Jean and the Children. He has made some friends for life here.
Everything from after school fun, meals and school holiday activities are just planned with only the kids in mind and how much fun they can have- swimming pools , outdoor toys and activities . My son doesn’t want me to be off work he just wants to go to Mels in the holidays as it’s so fab ! It truly is a home from home where the children are treated like family. It’s just wonderful to see my son thriving and happy there. I cannot recommend it enough. ❤️

My daughter has been with Mel and Jean for over 2 years now and absolutely adores them!
I couldn’t find any nurseries I was happy with so I decided to search for a childminder who would give that ‘ home from home ‘ care and attention - Mel and Jean provide just that and we are very happy we found them.
My daughter loves going on all the outings and play groups that Mel takes her to and has made friends with all the children.
Mel’s care is fantastic and fun! I would highly recommend.

My daughter has been with Mel for 6 months now. I initially was worried to leave her with strangers but to me relief she settled in so quickly! I love the picture updates to see what she is getting up to, all the kids look so happy and are having lots of fun! Mel takes her to different playgroups, soft plays, parks which is a god send for me having a newborn and it being harder to get out of the house. Mel has been super accommodating and is always helpful with any questions or advice I may need x x x
