About Me

Hello to you and your Family!

My name Is Mellissa (Mell) I live in Horsham (5 mins walk from railway station) with My Husband Sean of 11 years and our 2 Daughters Esmie 6 years old and Lillie 4 years old. I also have an extremely friendly, crate trained female cocker spaniel dog who is 1 years old.

I have a lovely spacious home with a variety of toys and learning resources. In the garden we have a swing and slide set, sand table and water ship table with lots of ride ons. I am able to provide school drop offs to Kingslea.

I would describe myself as a very open, loyal and assertive person. People often describe me as a 'very welcoming person' and that 'I have the ability to talk to anyone like I have known them for a very long time', which I consider a massive compliment. (references available up considering joining)

I really enjoy going out and about come rain or shine, we love to go to Play groups especially Music, gymnastics and swimming. We often go on walks to the woods, play parks, beaches and soft play areas.
When we are at home I will find creative sensory things for us to explore.( not afraid of a mess indoors!)
I love creating a theme based on childrens interests whilst exploring the EYFS, for example I did a dinosaur theme which included making dinosaur fossils, painting dinosaur footprints, singing songs, digging dinosaur eggs, searching for dinosaur footprints in the garden, making our own dinosaurs and playing with sand, lentils, rice and cereals with dinosaur toys.

Come on and join us on our little adventures!
