Fantastic team at safetyhaven childminders. My son has been going to Ramona and her staff for the lease 3ish years. He has grown so much and has built in confidence with his reading and writing. His communication skills came on so much when he started here. Ramona is informative about children's needs and keeps you up to date with progress and if there is anything you need to know about development. Would highly recommend safetyhaven childminding they are fantastic. The house is amazing and the garden is a child's dream. 😁

My daughter was looked after by Remona, Deanna and team from she was 18 months old until school age. The team did a fantastic job with my girl. She is so clever, Well mannered and well spoken and I give all the credit to Safety haven. She would come home and at times have the vocabulary of a grown adult, I was always suprised and amazed at how well she had grown. She has just started reception snd they have ensured she is well equipped for her first year. She is able to spell her name independently and knows certain letter, numbers etc. I am so impressed at the little person they have shaped her into. They have done an amazing job with our daughter and I am truly grateful.
I recommend this service 100%.

2 of my children go to Remona my son coming from a nursery beforehand, both of my children love coming to her she has a lovely welcoming aura , they are always doing something different and you are always kept up to date with pictures and daily sheets. She has a lovely home setting and you can tell straight away that she has the children’s best interests at heart! She nurtures their individual needs and recognises children have such different personalities and plans accordingly! I am very pleased and would highly recommend Remona to anyone looking for a childminder!

My son has been attending Safety Heaven since he was almost 10month old. During this time he has grown and developed so well. Romona has been really flexable when l've been to make changes at short notice. His social skills have been amazing. My son is always happy to go to Romona and see his friends which is always a good sign for any mum.

No doubt she’s always talking about how much she loves my dinner!! LOL..My little firey lady with the uttermost respect for authority & love for her peers. We enjoy her company always showing off her gymnastics skills.
Ramona is so so full of energy and it's just what my children need. As a mum of 3 I felt Ramona has the right enthusiasm energy and voice that make the children so ready to attack the day with vroom and umph. You can tell she loves what she does and her assistants also bring the calm and energy to help all children play together and fit in .her setting encourage friendship between children and you see it with the way they all interact with each other. Although my children have outgrown the setting and they have left - every now and then they always ask to pop in and see her or say hi to her..and it's always a pleasure as she greets us with a smile. Thank you Ramona

Aww thank you Linda for your honesty, it’s always appreciated & welcome with great attention to details in assisting with overal improvements. I really enjoy & look forward to your visits..see you soon
Brilliant service . They will go out of their way to accomodate you and your circumstances . I am a single parent working crazy shifts and Safety Haven are there for me when I needed them . Nothing is ever too hard . Their pricing is fare and you get so much more than what they charge. Children are looked after and fed well - delicious and nutritious meals - staff very caring and compassionate.

Thank you Emz😊 I’m glad to be of help, always! The children presence are greatly missed. Their vibrant character radiates all over; always adding a sense of JOY & laughter. Don’t be a stranger now lol
Remona has a great balance with her older and younger children and fosters a real family atmosphere. I wouldn't hestitate to recommend Remona to anyone looking for full time or after school care for their children. Victoria spend lovely time at hers home and I can see she is very happy there. Highly Recommended Babysitter.

Thank you so much for entrusting us with your baby girl as I know it can be unsettling with transition & shared care at times. She’s settled so well & shown such flexibility & willingness in her approach to the different settings. I’m so proud of her overall growth & development.
At the outset, I would like to thank my babysitter for your help, I am very happy with her work, she is the right person in the right place. My kids like to spend time with her, which fills it fun is combined with learning. Children come home always with a smile on his face. I recommend any mom looking for a babysitter.

Thank you Dorota!
I must admit, your children do have a special bond with everyone here in our setting. They've thought us all a second language, their home language, and very creative in all areas. Please continue to encourage their artistic abilities, they will no doubt strive throughout their learning journey. We really enjoy our time with them both.
Ramona is loving and friendly. Always attentive.
Lovely, friendly and safe environment for kids. I highly recommend.

Thank you Bernice I'm glad you felt at ease and had the confidence, in our trustworthy service, to leave your baba with us; I know it's not an easy decision for first time mom going back to work. We enjoyed the short but memorable stay & play sessions with our little baby M. Hope to see you both very soon again.
Ramona and her team are absolutely brilliant, all understanding and understand how children need to be supported. Leon is a very confident boy anyway however he is enjoying his time at Ramona's and is always happy and safe.

Thank you Katrina, we adore our Leon the lion always roaring with laughter, that's when he's not spider man bouncing off the wall, so energetic, always keeping us on our toes. He's such a big character, that cheeky smile melt any heart & the conversations anyone would think he's 30 not .......
Both my boys love coming to Ramonas. They have both settled in very well and are learning lots. Both of them get very excited as we get near the house and have no issues or worries about the boys being in Ramonas care

OMG Katie! I've only seen this! I'm so sorry I've not responding any sooner. Thank you for your honesty and I'm glad you were happy with the service provided. We miss you gorgeous fun loving boys....Mr J gives the best cuddles ever and Mr E is always so happy and bursting with energy.....they are truly missed. I'm sure you're loving every minute being at home with them...no doubt they are keeping you busy.
SafetyHaven have been nothing but accommodating in our experience so far! Our son enjoys his time there, and feels comfortable in his surroundings. Couldn't ask for a better service! Very professional and excellent customer experience.

He's so easy going, the youngest but clearly the "elder" of the group in character. So happy, confident & strong minded about his choices....definitely simple is best with him....never a dull moment I'm glad that he's a part of the family too. I so love my little group...couldn't ask for better kids.
Ramona is a lovely lady, she instantly made me and my daughter feel comfortable when we visited and instantly I knew she was the right childminder for us.
My daughter loves going to Ramona and can't wait to get there and never wants to leave!
Communication is excellent. I receive updates on a daily basis.
I would highly recommend Ramona's services.

I really enjoy my play & learn sessions with my little 5* girly. I'm so proud of her in meeting her learning outcomes/objectives, showing off some would say LOL. She's always willing, helpful, enthusiastic & upbeat about tasks set. She's a real ray of sunshine to be around, gosh so energetic with her dance moves: who need the gym after a day with little S LOL.
my boys loved it from day one am happy with the service and I can recommend it to anyone.

Your boys are a joy to have too, I'm glad that they felt comfortable, settled so well & just blend right in with the others.
Remona has been an outstanding childminder for our two girls aged 5 and 10. She is passionate about her job, caring, fun and enthusiastic. She is a true professional who demonstrated excellent knowledge about risk assessments, safeguarding and general health and safety issues. We are confident our daughters are safe in her care and they both love her to bits.
My husband and I both work various shift patterns that includes unsocial hours and Remona picks our girls up from home, does the school runs for us then she brings them back home when we return from work. Serves the girls waking up too early in the morning and having too long a day. We feel so lucky to have found such a loving, dedicated, flexible and reliable carer, we could not ask for more. To all parents out there, Remona (SafetyHaven) comes highly recommended for an excellent and outstanding service.
