A HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR YOUR CHILD

Reviewed

My Son Aaryan started at Melissa when he was almost 9 months old, from his first day away from home he was calmed and comforted by Melissa even as he cried, she has a great deal of patience and understanding and gives you confidence that all will be ok and that he will settle as its a new environment away from Mom. i went to my work leaving my baby with Melissa and it was the best decision I've made to this day. He settled in well from his first week, Melissa sends pictures which gives reassurance that my son was happy at his new place. He was still being bottle fed when he started and from 3rd week he was having oats from a spoon, as Melissa taught him to start eating solids. I was so grateful for this, being full time Mom i couldn't do all i wanted during the day, Melissa is not only taking care of my son but also nurturing him with love, attention and care like she would her own.
During Covid when Aaryan was home with family and couldn't go out, Melissa made it her duty to video call and ensure that all is well and interact with Aaryan, which really helps as sometimes it was hard to explain why he couldn't go out, as Melissa usually take them to different site seeing places and playgroups and parks, everyday is another activity session or somewhere fun to go when at Melissa.
Aaryan learnt so much being there, he learned to talk, his first steps were with her, and all the struggles to get him to eat she is part of, we are still working together trying different food everyday as Aaryan eats more when with Melissa, happy to say he has a few favourites and now request food more.
Melissa home has a warmness, clean and comfortable feel whenever you go there to either drop off or pick up your child, she always gives highlights of day with a big happy smile on her face
i will continue to send my child to Melissa, as he is in a clean and safe place full of happiness and his friends
Thank you
