My Summary
About Me
I’m proud to say that we have been rated Good by OFSTED’s recent visit
We have vacancies for the 30 /15 hours funding and also vacancies for Saturdays and over night care.
My name is Meissa I’m a OFSTED registered childminder , working from my home with two assistants and live in a large 3 bedroom house in Enfield area ( EN1 ) , with my husband who’s working in a school as a facilities manager and my two adorable children , my son is 9 years old and my little girl 7 years old , both are full time at school . We have a large enclosed garden ,with a large selection of outdoor and indoor toys , cars, bikes, slide,trikes, balls, scoops and balls and an activity table.
I have a wealth of experience working with children and use this to provide a high standard of care, according to the EYFS Framework.
I strive to offer experiences, activities and opportunities that provide the best possible learning outcomes for each individual child in my care, moving them on from where they are and adapting my practice according to how they choose to learn and achieve.
Alongside this, I make it a priority to communicate with parents, through daily discussion, diaries and shared planning. This ensures every child feels loved, valued, safe and secure- which is the best possible environment to have fun and promote effective learning and development.
We do lots of lovely activities, planned round a half termly theme, which cover the seven learning areas of the EYFS. These include art and craft activities, painting, sticking, cooking, visits to local parks, the library, singing and rhymes, musical instruments and movement, dance, imaginary play, sand, water, etc.
We also visit a local playgroup and farm center on a weekly basis. Your child will also have the opportunity to socialize in a smaller group of children of varying ages, building on their confidence, social skills and communication and language, also I'm fluent in 3 languages ARABIC and FRENCH
I provide breakfast , lunch and dinner (HAlAL Food )and of course snacks ; organic food and daily cooked
I enjoy cooking , baking , going out , cycling , walking , parks, farm, soft play , dancing , singing, be happy and healthy ; and your child will have the opportunity to do them in my setting . I’m a member of Pacey childcare insurance specialist.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Shiny St. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk.

My Son has been with Maissa three days a week since he was 11 months, he will be starting school in September. Ever since he started she has worked with us to make sure he settled in well with her and the new setting.
I love getting photos from Maissa showing what the kids have been up to, Maissa always has a range of great activities planned. From learning letters, numbers and colours to learning where certain food comes from and why they should brush their teeth. She has a great space for the kids in her house and a wonderful garden they can run, play and do activities in. They use the garden as much as the weather allows. My Son I am sure eats more of the food she makes for him than the meals he has at home.
We are so please we found such a great place that we could feel happy to leave our son while we work, it is really daunting to pick a childcare provider especially when you essentially leaving your kid with a stranger.
Our second is due soon and we will definitely be sending them to Maissa when the time comes.
We feel so lucky to have found Meissa! She is such a wonderful, kind lady who nurtured my 12 month old for 5 wonderful months! Sadly we have now moved out of London so my daughter can no longer go to Meissa's house, which we are devastated about, we will never find someone as good as her again! She is so genuine, thoughtful, trustworthy and friendly and I always felt my daughter was completely safe and loved in her care.
My daughter learnt so much at Meissa's house, her language and mobility came on leaps and bounds whilst there and she learnt to play well with other children. My daughter had separation anxiety at the beginning, being a pandemic baby and quite young, and Meissa and her assistant were so good with her, she settled in so quickly, clearly felt comfortable with them and made friends with the other children. She sent lots of photos and videos to keep me reassured that she was happy. She always gave me a debrief about her day when I picked her up. She showed that she genuinely really cared for my daughter and her development. Meissa makes tasty lunches and dinners for the children and my daughter got to try new dishes which she loved.
I cannot recommend Meissa enough, if you get your child a place with Meissa, you should count yourself very lucky! We really miss her!
From the moment we met Meissa and her family we knew that we'd hit the jackpot to find someone so warm and caring to look after our son ( and now our daughter!) Our children have come on leaps and bounds in their development - every day telling us they've had a good day and looking forward to going in. Our children absolutely adore her. Meissa's house is spotless - the children eat everything she makes ( from scratch) my son also had so many dietary requirements that Meissa was very accommodating with, making sure that he could have the same/similar to the other children so he wasn't left out. The assistants in this setting are also incredible and our children ask when can they come to our house and can they come and play in our garden too. I also love that there is a mix of ages here and the older ones can learn by teaching the younger ones and it's really helped my children develop in their social and other skills like talking. This review doesn't do Meissa justice - she's the most wonderful person and we knew when we first met her children and how great they are that we'd be in very safe hands. If you are able to have a place here you are very lucky indeed!
Maissa looked after our three-year-old son during the summer vacation. From the moment we met her, She put us at ease with her kind, trustworthy, professional manner. Our son really enjoyed his time and came home with lots to talk about. He especially enjoyed playing with other children in her care, he never wanted to go home when I go to pick him up from her house and he is always have a lot of things to talk about when he comes home.She planned activities for him, gave him lunch, and kept us up to date throughout with what he was doing. We have had a lot of experience with childminders over the years and She is up there with the very best. Her house is nice, very clean and well prepared with lots of toys. She always cooks from scratch healthy food for the children. I wish if I knew her and her lovely family before that when my son was little. She is always there to help never let us down. We consider her as our second house. will certainly use her again and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their child.
She is absolutely the best.
Maissa was looking after my daughter from 2017 to 2019 until she went to Reception, in September of this year she started looking after my son, I was over the moon when I manged to find space in her setting
Maissa is a lovely mum and a childminder , my daughter loved her time with Maissa,also she is well advanced in her class which made me bring my son to her without hesitation because I know he will be well looked after
Maissa is very kind, very friendly and highly professional
I genuinely recommend her for all the parents out there that are looking for childminders
My daughter was always being looked after and as a mum I know from my heart that she is very well looked after In a safe and secure place as I could see how happy she was, now my son cant stop talking about Maissa
Maissa is a happy and always with a beaming smile on her face, you can tell she loves what she is doing
My son is very, very fussy with his food, well now he is like a hoover, he just cant stop eating, her food is to die for :)
Maissa has a beautiful house with a lovely garden better equipped than a nursery
I have visited so many childminders and in all honesty I haven't seen better than Maissa
