Hello I am Charlotte Melia, along with my assistant, Linda Mills we provide quality childcare in the Radcliffe area. Both myself and Linda are mature qualified practitioners, with years of experience behind us.

I have my NNEB (Nursery nursing qualification) and my ADCE (Advanced diploma in childcare and education), I also have an NVQ Level 3 in nursery management. Linda has her NVQ Level 2 in childcare and education.

We both have lot's of additional qualifications and experience of working within early years settings.

The environment provided is loving and caring ensuring that every child is treated as an individual and that the highest possible standards of care are being met at all times.

Open access toys are available for the children to encourage independence and choice.

We provide daily activities which are child led as well as some adult direction ensuring there is a good balance throughout the day.These focus on the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Every child has a portfolio which contains observations, records  etc. Each child has a daily diary so that a good partnership is built up with parents. Within the diary will be a record of meals eaten, nappy changes, bottle feeds and activities undertaken that day, also photographs of your child doing daily activities.The diary is accessed using a secure server and is password protected.

We are out and about in the community on a regular basis and offer the children new exciting opportunities.

We regularly do Forest childcare, which enables the children to have a positive outdoor experience.

We also promote the curiosity approach in learning which enables us to observe the children being inquisitive and planning their own play with the use of natural materials.

We provide a pick up/drop off service, please see the Childcare Information section of this page for further details
