Melissa's Reviews

Amazing flexible local experienced childminder

Melissa is an amazing childminder. I have been with her for two years with two of my younger children and her services are exceptional! There is a negative review on here which is just not justified!!!! Both of my children love going to Melissa’s! She is structured, passionate, experienced and definitely provides my young children with a safe and happy learning environment! I love having a childminder who is so brilliant and considerate to each of my child’s individual needs! Melissa goes above and beyond and most importantly my children love being in the care of Melissa. They have fulfilled days and are always happy when I pick them up. A wonderful childminder who I really appreciate and who I know provides my children with everything they need and more!

Wonderful childminder

Melissa has been an absolute blessing to our family. Her warm smile and empathetic nature instantly put us at ease. She creates a safe and nurturing environment where our child feels comfortable and cared for. Melissa pays close attention to our child's needs, ensuring they are always well taken care of. We are incredibly grateful to have her as our childminder, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any family in need of exceptional care.
Our child's happiness is our top priority, and Melissa has played a pivotal role in ensuring just that. Every time we pick up our child, they are beaming with joy, a true testament to the wonderful care Melissa provides. It's evident that our child feels genuinely happy and cherished under Melissa's care, and that brings us immense peace of mind. She is highly experienced and knowledgeable.
We couldn't ask for a better childminder!

absolute shambles

I reached out or she reach out on here and via personal message to organise childcare. I arranged a meet first of all which got cancelled fair enough she had an emergency not a problem. I’ve then chased to set another meeting bearing in mind I’m having to take time off work to do this and get one arranged. I think go through the times and the periods - one she takes forever to get back to you so your left in limbo, 2nd nowhere does it say on your profile you don’t take term time only because if it did I wouldn’t have even entertained it so your advertising is inaccurate. She’s asked all around funding and then last min something else. Absolute time waster god knows what actually sending my child would involve. People have priorities they need to meet don’t waste peoples time

Response by Melissa on 25/04/2024:

This isn't accurate or fair. When we first spoke, you did not mention you only needed term time care or that another childminder had already used your funding code, meaning I would have to work for 3 months without any wages. I have been slow replying whilst I've waited for the funding team to get back to me, it has been me calling around trying my best to sort it. I'm really sorry you feel like I have waisted your time and that you've had to take time of work to send WhatsApp messages, this was never my intentions.


This is no way a reflection of the care of the children in my setting, and think it's unfair to put this review here when you haven't seen my setting or received any care. The rude text would have been enough.

I hope you find someone who can help soon, best wishes Melissa
