I aim to offer a safe nurturing environment for children, ensuring they are learning during play, following the early years foundation guidelines.
My setting will be multicultural and I will respect any dietary requirements parents may have. my house is very homely offering a nice spaced play area inside and out.

Indoor activities will include baking, arts and crafts, painting as well as children's choice activities.

My Daughter was with Mel for over 2 yrs and she provided an excellent reliable service. There were never any concerns and i never had to question my childs safety.
