Melissa stepped in to cover for my current childminder, for 2 weeks during summer holiday and I cannot recommend more.
Melissa is amazing person with loving heart and warm welcome not only to children but to their parents (I'm a living proof). Melissa cared for my 3.5yrs old daughter only for 2 weeks, but her care was so excellent that I was even considering switching for good.
My daughter is very sensitive, but Melissa handled her insecurities brilliantly. She had always prepped her setting for every day, structured play in the morning and free play and activities afternoon. Lots of outings as well, entertainment and learning hand in hand.
Melissa's setting is clean, tidy and cosy with sufficient outdoor space, however, Melissa took my daughter for outings, play dates, soft play, garden centre, and park so my daughter enjoyed variety of space and play.
Melissa also cooperate with other local childminders which helps get more kids together and socialise. As my daughter is quite shy, this was an excellent experience which I very much appreciated.
Melissa also prepares healthy meals, usually cooks dinner and in my daughters case also managed to squeeze in warm lunches, as that is something my daughter is used to.
Overall, Melissa is very cheerful, loving and caring person with great attention to children needs and provides an excellent service. We already miss her!
Thank you for your excellent, loving care, we keep you in our memory with the pictures you shared with us whilst we were with you.
100% recommending, this is trustworthy, reliable and actually also fairly flexible childminder who will love your children and provide an outstanding care at all times <3
