Mel and Lee have had my son since he was 4 months old and finding them has been a complete blessing. I was very nervous leaving him with anyone but as soon as I met Mel and Lee I was filled with confidence. I work shifts and they have been very flexible with extra hours etc. Luca smiles from ear to ear when we get to their house and that is exactly what any parent wants when trusting someone else with their child. We can’t thank them enough and will miss them a great deal.

We have been using Mel and Lee for the last 7 years. They have been very accommodating when needed and my children have loved going there.
The children go on many different trips including soft play, the park and various walks in different locations. I would definitely recommend.

Hi Caru’s
We wish you and Matt the very best in the future, Emma and Ellis are are credit to you, and we wish them the very best for the future, and thank you for placing your children with us and look forward to seeing them in their future roles.
I am beyond grateful for the exceptional care Mel & Lee have provided for my three-year-old over the past year. Their dedication, warmth, and professionalism have made a profound impact on my child's development and happiness. Every day, Mel & Lee created a nurturing and stimulating environment, filled with fun activities, educational play, and loving guidance. My daughter eagerly looked forward to spending time with them and it was clear how much they genuinely cared for each child in their care. As my little one transitions to full-time school, I can't thank Mel & Lee enough. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent seeking a compassionate and trustworthy caregiver. They are truly a gem!

Thank you so much for your kind words, it’s been a pleasure to care for Nova and wish her well in full time school
We have been with Mel for 6 years for wrap around care for our two children at the start and end of school days, which involves drop-off and collection from school. There has always been good, clear communication and Mel has worked hard not only to keep them safe, but also happy and entertained. There is regular feedback about our children and their day at pick-up time. The environment is calm, warm and comfortable. The children enjoy the garden in the summer and trips to the park. Our 2 always enjoy the food and look forward to their favourites every week! We are very lucky to have found a childminder so reliable, trustworthy and enthusiastic to look after our two children.

My son has attended mels for a year, she welcomed him into her home, my son has enjoyed his time with Mel. She goes above and beyond, she keeps me updated on what they have been doing and what my son has eaten.

My 5 year old has been taken care of by Mel and Lee for over 2 years. Originally they provided wrap around care going into school drop offs when we moved to full time school. I honestly could not recommend them enough, my daughter is a very shy child who had separation issues when first placed into childcare - Mel and Lee dealt with the situation amazingly. I could have asked for more from a childminders it felt as though a member of the family was taking care of her. They have always kept me fully up to date with her progress and how her days has gone even if it’s just to let me know she has made it to school. I recommend them as childminders to a close friend of ours as I was confident that all children would fit in well here.
My daughter and I are very sad to leave but due to a house move we are changing school so no longer in their area. Mel and Lee changed our opinion of childminders and we can’t thank them enough for taking care of our daughter like she was part of their family.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
We will miss you all, and wish you all the best for the future.
They have looked after my twins for the last couple of years. They have helped with toileting and the logistics of school runs with my eldest. The girls have thoroughly enjoyed their time with mel and Lee and we couldn't have found better childminders. They are very sad to be leaving to start full time school and we will definitely miss mel and lee and all their friends. The girls have enjoyed going on outings, arts and crafts, soft plays and park visits. They have always kept me well informed and let me know how they have got on. Its nice to know i have been able to leave them and go to work without any worries. Best childcare we have ever had.

Mel and Lee have looked after my two daughters for the last 3 years. They have been brilliant with both of them, supporting the girls through potty training, weaning my youngest onto solid foods, taking them on lots of outings and adventures and doing lots of craft which the girls use to bring home regularly! The girls have had an amazing time with Mel and Lee and will really miss going to them everyday!

Mel and Lee looked after my little girl for a year before she started school. They are kind and compassionate and made my daughter feel so welcome in their home. They do lots of day trips and interesting things at home. My daughter loved going to them and loved them both equally. I felt really reassured that she was having a lovely time while I was in work and regular picture updates were brilliant. I always found Mel and Lee very flexible with days and their house is immaculate. As a teacher, it's hard to find childminders who don't charge over the holidays but Mel and Lee are perfect childminders for teachers! I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
