About Me
*2 YEAR FUNDED PLACES AVAILABLE*
*9 MONTH FUNDED PLACES AVAILABLE*
Welcome to Daisychain!
Im Melanie and I'm an experienced Ofsted registered childminder living in the quiet Aldwick area of Bognor Regis. I offer full or part time care for children aged 4 months to 4 years, specialising in care for very young babies and children.
Children at Daisychain access a wide variety of stimulating and educational activities centred around the EYFS framework. Children and families benefit from care tailored to suit their needs. There is a strong focus on using nature and the outside environment for
learning and play. We have a large well equipped garden, which includes a mini allotment, mud kitchen an investigation station and even a bug hotel.
A secluded beach, large green park and duck pond are close by for outings
Indoors, we love baking, painting, storytime and baby yoga.
Your child’s learning and development will be shared with you every step of the way using a daily diary or private WhatsApp group and I keep a detailed track of development and milestones.
I have 20 years of experience and have consistently been graded as a GOOD childminder by Ofsted.
I offer a warm home from home environment with plenty of opportunities for learning and play. My setting is perfect if you are looking for nurturing care in a setting smaller than a nursery but with lots of opportunities to learn and play in a smaller group.

Below are the latest reviews for Melanie. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
I would highly recommend Melanie as a childminder. I used Melanie for my son for a number of years and have been more than happy with the service she provides. Melanie only has a small number of children so there is a real home from home environment and my son was always welcomed into the family. Finding childcare for after school can be stressful and worrying, but Melanie took all that worry away and my son enjoyed going. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Melanie to anyone looking for childcare.
