Melina has been looking after my daughter for the past two years or so and she has been just wonderful. My daughter loves going to ‘aunty’ (as she calls her ) because she feels safe and happy with her.
She’s truly dedicated to her children and their wellbeing is her priority.
My daughter speech and overall development has improved immensely. She become more independent and knowledgeable. I’m certain she is more than ready to start her reception year in September.
I truly recommend Melina and her childcare setting to any parent who needs a little extra help with their child care.
Melina has looked after our eldest daughter for 3.5 years and our youngest since she was 6 months old. I could not recommend Melina and her assistant enough to anyone needing childcare. Our children have flourished in this setting academically, physically and socially, however, what we love the most about sending our daughters here is how much they love Melina and how well she cares for them. They look forward to attending every morning and are always excited to tell us about the wonderful activities they do every day. The girls know her as family and we are so incredibly grateful for the love and support our children have received in the years they’ve spent here.
Melina has looked after my boy (2 and a half) for over a year now. He absolutely adores her and she treats him like one of her own. I receive regular feedback and progress reports and I am updated with pictures and notes daily. Melina works so well with us as a family and helped through potty training. My son really enjoys his time here and is progressing really well. We are so lucky to have you!

We are so blessed to have your cute boy and lovely family. We continue to do our best. Thank you for your nice comments.
I can`t praise Melina and her team enough. She is professional, kind and caring - not to mention very experienced. I`m amazed how well my 16 months old daughter is developing in her care. She made the settling in process easy, my daughter loves going to `auntie` since week 2. I love that I can have a piece of mind that my baby is well cared for, she is in a clean, safe environment. She always leaves with a big smile on her face and that`s the most important thing!

We are so blessed to have your little sweet and clever baby. Thank you
Melina looks after my 3 year old boy. He wasn't potty trained and his speech and vocabulary weren't great as he was looked after by nanny for the past 3 years. Melina has helped developed his speech and vocabulary. He also knows numbers and nursery rhymes after few months with her. Melina teaches him discipline and routines as well, she regularly communicates with us regarding his development and improvement. Although she has children in the house, it seems that you receive individualised one to one care as she knows each child by heart.
I would highly recommend Melina as your childminder!
