4 years ago .. I went looking for a place for my daughter either nursery or childminder and I came across Little Stars Childcare - Hygge in the Early Years accredited setting …
From a baby To all the way to 4 years old & 6 months .. Mel has had my little ray of sunshine and my little hurricane 🌀 🤍

After not a great start at Nursery, we decided on a childminder and we found Mel :) we couldn't of asked for anyone better for our daughter. So helpful & understanding from day one. Mel has been so caring, loving and will do anything to help. There's always plenty for the children to do, new crafts everyday and toy areas set up. She makes events so special and their always spoilt with special treats ❤️ Mel has an amazing outdoor area, which all the children love and also takes them on days out. If you are looking for a childminder Mel is perfect. I wish my daughter could stay here forever 😊

My son loves it at Little stars Childcare. He first went to Melanie when he was 6months old, Melanie made it so easy for me to leave him on my first day back at work. Eased him in so nicely. The play room is fab! Lots to do, Always new activities out every day. Lots of messy play too which my son loved and a huge garden for outdoor play. Melanie is patient and kind and really had a big impact on my sons first few years. Not only did he play Melanie helped him develop and learn lots of new things ready for nursery and school. My son is now at school but goes to Melanie's every school Holiday, She always takes them on Lots of fun day trips, Parks and farms. I wouldn’t want anybody else looking after my child. Thank you for everything over the past 4 years. I would definitely recommend Little stars to anyone looking for childcare.
