K Whitear
“Our 2.5 year old daughter loves being at Melissa’s. My husband and I never worry when she’s there. Melissa provides not only a great home environment but also a brilliant learning environment for my daughter. Melissa is great at working alongside us and my daughter’s needs. Melissa is very accommodating, and nothing is a problem for her. Melissa is great at communicating with us about everything, should it be anything positive or negative. My daughter loves going to Melissa’s. She can never wait to get there and is always talking about her days there and the adventures and activities they have done. My daughter is such a loving and chatty child, and being at Melissa’s bringing’s this out of her even more.”

She always looks forward to seeing Melissa and enjoys her time with her.Melissa is very good at thinking up fun fun things to do but educational too. As a parent I always feel confident leaving my child with her.I feel very lucky to have found such a great childminder.”

“We are so pleased with everything at Bee-utiful Bubbas. Everyday my daughter seems to experience something new and Melissa puts in so much effort on excursions and activities and keeps us informed. My daughter absolutely loves going and gets excited. My daughter is developing so quickly and it’s such a comfort to know she’s having a wonderful time literally everyday, not to mention the lovely arts and crafts she brings home. We can’t thank you enough! J and”

“My daughter has been going to Melissa for nearly a year now and I must say, she exceeded all of my expectations as a childminder. From the moment I met her, I could tell that she truly had a passion for working with children and ensuring their well being and development was top priority. Melissa has always provided a warm, loving, and safe environment for my daughter, who always looks forward to going to her house. She consistently engages with the children by playing games, creating arts and crafts, and providing educational activities that keep them all entertained and stimulated. One of the things I love is the communication between myself and Melissa. She always keeps me informed of my daughters progress either on WhatsApp or via the Tiney app and is always available to answer any questions. Overall I am very impressed. Melissa is always well organised, professional and goes above and beyond to ensure the children are taken care of and are happy. She follows the relevant safety guidelines and regulations, giving me peace of mind knowing my child is always good hands while in her care. I honestly cannot recommend Melissa enough. She is an exceptional childminder who truly cares about the development of the children and goes the extra mile to provide a positive and loving environment. Thank you for being so wonderful 🙂”

“Both my children love their time with Melissa and always look forward to their Wednesdays with her. Melissa always makes sure there are different activities for them both to enjoy each week and they always have a lovely time with her and her family. She is both kind and reliable and we are very happy to have found her. I would very happily recommend her to other parents! I also would like to add that Melissa has a lovely play space which my kids love. It’s well thought out and designed.”
D Proudlock
“Melissa is absolutely brilliant with the children and my son loved coming in every week to a variety of different toys and activities. She was always taking him on walks and different places to learn new things. Melissa also helped me with my sons speech and was encouraging him to say new words. Would highly recommend Melissa to anybody who needs a childminder.”
B and B Wright
“Our son started with Melissa 5 months ago and has loved every minute. Melissa made our son feel so happy and confident from the initial settling sessions. He’s always doing such fun and creative activities as well as getting out and about during days out. We are so pleased we found Melissa and feel so confident knowing our son is with her.”
M and J Love
“Our daughter, Maisie is so happy and her progress has been amazing. She loves arriving at the setting and we know she is in very safe hands. Melissa has a perfect home environment, full of fun activities and lots of learning too. We get regular updates which is great. We’re so happy with how Maisie has settled in at Beeutiful Bubbas, and feel so lucky to have found such a brilliant childminder.”
