Melissa Jane Henley-Jones

Ofsted Registered childminder living in Shepway, Maidstone in Kent. My name is Melissa and I run Cabin Tots with my husband (assistant) from our family home where we live with our 3 children (aged 6, 10 and 13) whom we love to watch grow day by day.

Having worked in hospitality/healthcare industries since leaving school, I have now been blessed with the opportunity to work with children which is something I have always wanted to do. I have a lot of experience with my own children, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends of the family.

We are fortunate enough to have a large outdoor space with artificial lawn making it suitable for all weathers. This compliments our well equipped log cabin extension & lean to shelter for the children to play within. Our home is in a quiet cul-de-sac with easy drop off/pick up access. Full & part time care available for babies to primary school age and beyond if required. Open all year round except when setting closed for time as a family (dates always given to parents well in advance).
