Reen looks after a lovely group of children and creates a calm and really caring environment. basically i knew straight away that reen was really special as soon as i met her, i'd gone to visit a few childminders before i found her and literally they do not compare. The kids develop socially, sharing with each other and learning how to be gentle and generous with the smaller children, and they are always out and about - whether its the park, the pet shop, the cinema, or soft play. I have recently moved cities so very sadly had to leave Reen's, but his new playgroup staff all comment on how caring my son is towards the other children, and i have no doubt that this behaviour is a lot to do with what was encouraged and nurtured at Reens.
I cant recommend her enough, she manages to balance warmth and care with professionality, which i think is exactly what you want from a childminder.
