Melissa used to childmind for my son Devon until we moved to Leighton Buzzard last year. Melissa was flexible with hours and was able to pick up from stanford in the vale primary school and pre school. I work in retail so my hours were not set and Melissa was happy to help accommodate. Devon loved Melissa and still attends her half term sleep overs. She helped with practical learning themes that Devon later studied at school, which helped build his confidence. He enjoyed the learning through play and trips that Melissa organised. He often would be the last child to be picked up and loved the one to one reading time with Melissa. All the meals that were made by Melissa were healthy and he would often try new foods that he wouldnt normally try for me. Overall I have used 5 childminders and Devon has enjoyed the time with Melissa the most and it's a shame that we moved too far away to still use Melissa.
