Mel's Little Explorers Childminding

Mel's Little Explorers Childminding Mel's Little Explorers Childminding offers Ofsted registerd childcare in a home environment. Hello, my name is Melisa and I am a Ofsted registered childminder.

I live on a quiet cul-de-sac with my husband Matthew, 6 year old son James, 8 month old daughter Isla and our Cocker Spaniel Coco. I have been working in childcare since 2011, in a private day nursery, the last 3 of these as the Deputy Manager. I then started childminding in 2017. I use my qualifications and experience to provide quality childcare to support children to flourish as young learners.

I have a First class honors degree in Early Years as well as childcare qualification and first aid. I have a dedicated playroom with access immediately into a fully enclosed garden, offering a free flow play opportunity from indoors to outdoors. I run my setting as a home from home for the children, and provide a welcoming safe environment with a range of fun and stimulating resources and activities to engage children of all ages. I have a full clean driving licence providing the opportunity to explore the local area on many outings, including trips to the local park, play gyms, farms, library and much more. Please contact me for more details

Today we had a very special visit from Jessica, an Oral Health Worker from Home-Start Kirklees, who came to talk to the children all about looking after their teeth 🦷✨

The children had lots of fun taking part in:
🪥 Learning how to brush their teeth properly
🍎 A good and bad foods interactive game
🎶 Singing songs about brushing our teeth
👩‍⚕️ Dentist role play and dressing up
🦷 Exploring the giant model teeth and toothbrush

The children were fully engaged throughout the session and loved receiving stickers and goodie bags to take home 😊

Jessica also spoke with me about the levels of tooth decay across Kirklees and the government programme that is supporting families and settings in improving children’s oral health across the area.

A huge thank you to Jessica and Home-Start Kirklees for such an informative, fun and engaging session today! 💙

School ready play... the older children have enjoyed exploring school uniforms this morning and getting themselves dressed. Lots of school role play and talk

If you don't have child height coat hooks, door handles make a great height hook to practice hanging up coats and bags 😁

Just a little poster for supporting starting school

We will be working on these independence skills over the next few months just to strengthen these areas that children are already doing ☺️

Some of our home made 3D printed toys went down well this Easter!!! 🐰 🥕

The children loved feeding the bunny some yummy carrots and hiding the mini bunnies in their carrot house.

Lot of counting, mathematics language, turn taking, imaginative play and lots of fun 😁
