About Me

I am an Ofsted registered Childminder. I have worked with children 0-11 years old, for over 20 years. I am a NNEB qualified Nursery Nurse, which is a level 3 qualification in childcare. I have a DBS check and I am first aid trained and done a Safeguarding course. I offer funding for children 2 year old, with working or non working parents and funding for 3 to 4 year old. From September 2024, I can also get funding for 9 months to 23 months old. I currently have vacancies for under 5's on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, full days or half days. I live in the Swinnow area of Bramley, Leeds, just outside Pudsey. I got good in my last Ofsted inspection, February 2022. I drop off and pick up from Swinnow school. If interested in discussing your childcare needs, phone or text me. Thank you.

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
1 February 2022
Children thrive in a warm and nurturing environment where they develop strong mathematical and literacy skills. Rated 'Good' across all areas, this childcare setting fosters trusting relationships and offers a wide range of activities. Children make good progress in mathematics, using concepts like 'big' and 'small', and develop literacy skills through engaging storytelling. To further improve, more parental involvement in sharing children's learning from home could be encouraged.

Great!

5 stars

My 2.5 year old son had been going to Melody's setting for nearly a year & half now and he still gets excited every morning to go to her and explore days together.
Melody is very passionate about what she is doing, helping kids grow leaps and bounds with different types of activities.
I highly recommend her to any one looking for caring, friendly childminder.

My son has been in Melody's care for 4 months now and I am very happy with the service she provides. He enjoys the varied activities she provides and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder in the local area.
