About Me

Ofsted graded ‘Outstanding’, Childminding with a Forest School twist!
I'm Melanie Marshall and I live in the beautiful village of Chalfont St Giles, Forest Tribe Friends, my childminding practice is outdoor based, visiting many of the wonderful woodlands in the area, where the children in my care will explore and play out in the fresh air (whatever the weather) we will be climbing trees, scrambling up banks, making dens, cooking on fires, using tools, hunting for bugs, learning about our environment and getting mucky in mud! I also have purpose built cabin at my home base, which has many age appropriate resources, children can start with me from 2.5yrs/3yrs +.
