Mel & Oral are simply amazing! My son has been attending before/after school for about 5 years and absolutely adores them both. From the day he started he was super comfortable with them and warmed to them immediately (something he had struggled with at a different setting). They provide such a warm, welcoming and friendly environment and really do treat every child like their own. They were made to work with children and that is evident when you see how happy and content the children are with them. As a parent they exceed my expectations as childminders. Their dedication to the children is unmatched and I am super grateful to have found such amazing childminders!

Honestly I cannot praise both Mel and Oral enough. From the moment I visited I knew that this was the best place for my son. When you say home from home feel it really is. Both Mel and Oral have a passion for teaching and caring for children and it shines through from the moment you meet them. The learning and care my son has had is invaluable and I’m sure he will never ever forget the time he has had with them - I surely won’t forget. Don’t loose out on an opportunity for Mel and Oral being a part of you and your child’s life. Highly recommended!

Mel has looked after both my children and I've known her for 4 years. In that time she has always been reliable as a childminder and the kids both love her and her husband. She also gives the kids a full and varied curriculum (and delicious homecooked food!) and taught both my kids their numbers and alphabet (and about Diwali and loads of other things too!). I thoroughly recommend her

Mel provides a safe, secure, homely and engaging environment for all little ones. I was so happy to leave my children knowing they were in very capable hands. Mel and her husband are very accommodating, very proactive as care providers, my children went on so many trips and partook in so many activities that the memories still remain. Food provided was always healthy and hearty and my children excelled in her care. Thanks Mel
