My daughter has been with Mel since she was 4 months old, and she is now 5. My daughter has always received 1 to 1 time with mel as well as group play with the other children, allowing her to develop a range of social skills. mel attends sessions at different play groups throughout Bedworth and also takes the children to the local library and for play in the parks as well. Mel follows the early years National Curricumum framework, concentrating on education skills, social skills and welfare. My daughter has moved to school and is way ahead of other students there down to the work that Mel had done with her. Whilst in th ehome setting Mel provides them with activites, they do drawing painting, nature projects in the garden, and Mel only allows the TV on first thing in the morning and when the children come in from school to relax and chill, or if they need some quiet time. Mel also caters for all religiousa and no religios events thorughout the year, so the children lean. mel offeres the children in her care a full and varied diet, and also gives parents a menu so you know what your child has eaten, if you want them to have a specific diet Mel will cater for this with prior notice. Mel relaises that all children are individual and alters her care style to suit, this means that everyone in her are is well looked after, feels safe and secure and flourishs. My daughter feels partof the family there and this is what a parent want when out at work to not have to worry if their child is being well looked after - one look at my daughter and you can see she is well looked after whilst with Melm sometimes so well she wants to stay there longer! Mel goes above the duties of being a childcare provider, she cares about the children in her care and wnats them to be happy, its not just a job to hwer its a vocation.
