Reena is a fantastic childminder to my two boys. They both settled in quickly and absolutely love it there. All their food is homemade which they love. She takes them on plenty of trips and outings each week. They’re developing so well and get on with all the other children. Her family are amazing and their home is perfectly set up to care for babys and children. She is warm, nurturing and caring.
I found Reena when I first moved in and we needed support on weekends while decorating the new house. The kids loved her so much I moved them over to her as a main childminder. They never settled in nursery but they absolutely loved reena! It was the first time i had seen them excited to go somewhere they weren’t familiar with! She has a genuine gift with kids. When my eldest went to reception school, he still talked about reena and asks to go round at times even now!
She provides all meals and takes them out to wonderful places always taking time to share the memories with you and ironically, her service was so much more cost effective than private nursery and she is so flexible and thoughtful it’s just unbelievable value for money! I always get pictures and lovely little touches to show a personal side you just can’t put a price on! Putting my kids in childcare with reena transformed into a wonderful experience for the whole family all of a sudden after almost a year of pain elsewhere
Thank you for loving my kids and taking care of them reena, couldn’t recommend enough 🥰
Being a first time mum, I was worried about finding the perfect childminder however Reena has been looking after my daughter since she was 9 month old and I could not fault her.
Reena staff are so accommodating, friendly and caring they really take the time to create a bond with all the children and parents too.
My daughter absolutely loves every single day she is with Reena.
Meals being included in her fee is also amazing and it saves so much time in the mornings and evenings and she makes such nice health meals.
They also go on so many lovely days out to toddler groups, parks and the beach as well as other places like museums and libraries.
I’m always updated and sent pictures throughout the day witch really helps my anxieties especially at the start as she was setting In.
She always makes sure to let me know in detail how my daughter has been throughout the day and always helps me when I’m not sure how to handle something or need advice on parenting
She is more than just a childminder and I could not recommend her more !
Reena has been looking after my son for 5months now. I was really up tight about leaving initially, and he took a while to settle in, but Reena made it as easy as possible. Right from the start it was clear he trusted her and would go to her for re-assurance. Now everyday it sounds like he has a fabulous time and is happy and settled.
Since covid she's been doing drop offs at the door. This means you don't get to see how they are when you leave/before you arrive.
Reena has been really quite flexible with timings and helped myself and my husband with trying to juggle our two work rotas.
She keeps you updated with photos through the day and is really quick to respond to questions and queries.
The setting is lovely with a big purpose built garden room for the kids to play in.
Reena has been looking after my son since he was six months old. I was very nervous at first but Reena made it so easy, from the second I met her she put me at ease and I knew I could trust her entirely with my child. My son loves her. She is a godsend and could not even put into words how amazing she is.
Her setup is clean and child friendly. She also takes kids to different clubs and groups that I think is very good exposure for the kids. I get regular updates about my son's activities during the day. Reena is very professional and pays close attention to individual needs of every child. As a mother I feel happy when I see my son is well fed, well rested and happy.
I can't recommend her enough, she is a lovely lady with very positive attitude.
