Reena85

Highly recommended

My son started with Reena at 9 months old, with settling in sessions from 8 months, and he is now 18 months and loves it there! He now goes 4 days a week and genuinely gets excited to go, when I tell him in the morning he's going to Reena's, he runs and gets his shoes.

One of his first words was "Reena" which is a testament to how comfortable he feels with her. I feel like he has learnt a lot from attending her setting and interacting with the other kids.

We have had a wonderful experience.

We were first introduced to Reena through our neighbor here in Great Park, whose child had been in her care. They couldn’t speak highly enough of her, and after meeting Reena ourselves, we immediately understood why. From the moment we walked in, her setting felt like a true home-from-home. There was an instant sense of warmth and ease, and we just knew our son would be happy there.

Since starting with Reena, we haven’t had a single moment of doubt. Our son settled in so quickly it felt less like a transition and more like he had simply found a second home.

Reena’s care goes far beyond the basics. She has been remarkably attentive and flexible with his dietary needs - he can be quite particular with food - and her patience and understanding have meant the world to us.

What’s been most beautiful to witness is the change in him. He absolutely adores his time with Reena, whether at home or out on activities. He was naturally quite shy before, but with her gentle encouragement he has truly come out of his shell. Seeing his confidence blossom has been one of the greatest gifts.

As a neurodiversity consultant with my husband working as a college lecturer, our schedules are demanding. For me personally, after years as a stay-at-home mum to my older children, returning from Dubai and rebuilding my business has been a huge transition. Knowing our son is not just looked after, but genuinely cherished by Reena, has given us complete peace of mind. It’s allowed me to focus on my work with confidence, knowing he is safe, happy, and thriving.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Reena. She is exceptional, and we recommend her with our whole hearts.

Brilliant

I have been taking my 14 month old boy to Reena for the last 4 month now. As a first time mum it has been an absolutely relief to have Reena as a my boys childminder. Anyone will know that leaving your baby can make you feel very anxious. Reena has made this part of our journey very easy. My boy settled in great at 9 months and enjoys seeing Reena to the point that he does not want to come home. Having someone you can rely on to provide a safe and happy environment for your child is the best feeling and I could not have started this journey with anyone else.

I knew as soon as I met Reena she was amazing!

As soon as I met Reena, I knew she was the perfect childminder for my daughter.

Before finding Reena, I visited several nurseries and childminders, but I never felt completely confident that they were the right fit. The moment I met Reena, I felt instantly comfortable and reassured. Her warm, caring nature and the safe, welcoming environment she has created in her home made the decision so easy for us.

Reena’s home is beautiful, spotless, and extremely well maintained, with plenty of toys, activities, and opportunities for children to learn and have fun. She always puts me at ease, and my daughter absolutely loves spending time with her.

Since starting with Reena, my daughter has come on in leaps and bounds. It’s been amazing to see her confidence, development, and happiness grow.

Reena is truly exceptional at what she does. She is caring, professional, and dedicated, and I trust her completely with my daughter. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

My son’s second mum!

When we first met Reena, when my son was about 8 months, I just knew she was the right fit. She is warm and welcoming and my son and Reena have a special bond, which is just so lovely.

Reena provides amazing care, takes the children on days out, including soft play and to the park, and sends us sweet little pictures.

My son is now 17 months old and he absolutely adores going to see Reena. When we came back from our holiday, my son greeted Reena with a huge koala bear cuddle, and he is always thrilled to see her.

I highly recommend Reena

Amazing

Our son attends nursery but due to a change in my working arrangements we needed some additional childcare a few times per month. Reena has been a lifesaver - so flexible and helpful. In only his second week with Reena he happily wandered in with no tears, which speaks volumes for her experience working with children and the fun and comforting environment she creates.
Her communication and professionalism are second to none. Her home and garden room are spotless and very well equipped. She has taken our son out to toddler groups which he really enjoyed. Overall very grateful to have found Reena!

Couldn't ask for a better childminder!

We completely understand why Reena is a childminder; she is incredible with our little girl!

Our girl (13 months) has been going to Reena for just over 6 months, and every time we drop her off, she has a huge smile when Reena opens the door.

We chose Reena for her easygoing, warm, and approachable personality, and because she also brings diversity and culture into our little girl's life, allowing her to learn from and experience people from different walks of life. She communicates well with us and sends us lots of photos on days when she is childminding our little girl.

We highly recommend her. She takes her out for walks and to soft play, where she can meet and play with other children, which is great for her social development. Reena is now a big part of our little girl's life. We would consider her an extended part of the family, given how much our little girl adores her.

Thank you for all you do, Reena.

Five Stars

We couldn't be happier with Reena as our son's childminder. From the very beginning, she created such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that he instantly felt at home. He absolutely loves going to her – he runs to her door in the morning with the biggest smile, which speaks volumes about how happy and comfortable he is in her care.

Reena is incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. She always keeps us updated with regular photos and messages about his day, which we really appreciate. It’s so reassuring to see him happy, engaged, and having fun – it gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands.

We feel very lucky to have found her and are so grateful for the love and care she gives every day.

Thank you, Reena, for everything you do!

Wonderful experience with Reena as our childminder

Cannot recommend highly enough!

We got in touch with Reena a month before our little boy was born at the start of 2024 and after a quick visit to meet her, immediately knew she was the perfect choice to look after him. She has a beautiful home and fantastic facilities for the children and it was such a relief to know we had everything in place even before he was here. As we are teachers, we had a couple of settling in days over the summer holidays when he was 5-6 months before he started 3 days a week in September after just turning 6 months old. Reena made the whole process so easy which was such a weight off our minds as we are both very busy (and inflexible) in our jobs.

He is such a happy boy who is thriving and Reena makes him feel like family!

Home away from home

Our 2.5 year old has been with Reena since September and we couldn’t be happier with the setting. From the very first day, she made him feel welcome, safe, and loved.

Reena has an amazing ability to connect with children, and it's clear she genuinely cares for them. She always has something kind to say about your child at the end of the day and it is clear she has enjoyed spending the day with them.

Our son looks forward to spending time at Reenas and happily walks inside every morning - something that never happened when he was in a standard nursery. We believe this is because Reena offers a true home away from home feeling for the children and makes sure they feel seen and heard. At the end of every day T exclaims that he’s had a “Good day at Reenas!”

She takes them to local playgroups and soft plays every week so the children are exposed to plenty of opportunities to grow their skills outside of the home.

We trust Reena and her setting completely and are very happy with the care she gives our son. She is also very accommodating to your personal circumstances and will work with you to try to come to a solution. As said, we couldn’t be happier with this setting.
