About Me

I’m a single mum with a gorgeous 3 year old boy Harrison, turning 4 in Feb 2025. He is special needs due to being born at 23 weeks but can walk and loves cuddles - he is pre-verbal. He loves chicken dippers, cookies and peppa pig! He’s very loving & so easy going.

My Requirements

Registered Childminder

Tues, Wed and Thursday with one evening a month until 7.20pm due to a late meeting. Looking for someone who is warm, friendly and likes to do activities with the children like go out to parks - someone who is also aware of and has experience of looking after children with autism would be the cherry on top!

Reena looks after my 2 year old boy who was a premature baby at 23 weeks so you can imagine my nervousness in finding a childminder to take good care of him.

With Reena, I felt an instant connection and warmth about her which made me feel confident that Harrison would be in great hands. It is evident that she really cares about him & gives me full updates each day on how the day has gone.

Another positive is that Reena strikes the balance between letting them have time playing indoors to going out to toddler groups and soft play which I really like. She is professional & goes above and beyond to meet my son’s needs especially with food as he can be fussy at times.

It’s so nice being able to drop my son off & not worry about anything but also knowing that he will have great fun which helps the mum guilt!

In terms of facilities, Reena has an amazing house and a fantastic playroom specially for the children which really impressed me. As well as the fun caring side, Reena considers his development which is so important to me - I love the fact she wants to work together to bring out the best in him.

I can’t recommend Reena enough - your only problem might be getting a space as she seems to be in high demand! :)

Quite simply, you will not find a better childminder. Natalie is professional, friendly, warm & most importantly, you can see that she loves what she does.

Everyday she took my son out doing something fun & different e.g. strawberry picking in Summer & more recently. a pumpkin farm! Inside the house there is also lots for the kids to play with.

As a result, my son’s development has really improved since he was under her care & he adores her. No issues settling in & I received updates every day with photos of him smiling having fun. Hygiene and cleanliness are very important to Natalie too.

A rare and important quality is that Natalie is understanding and flexible; she makes every effort to support you as parents as well as your child.

I’d like to take this opportunity to say to Natalie that we will really miss you and I can’t thank you enough for all of your help and support - now it’s my turn to send you updates and photos :) Xx
