Reefa is an amazing childminder!!

I contacted her when I felt my daughter and I were both ready for this stage.
I felt a childminder setting would be a better option as the child to adult ratio is smaller and I got the sense that it would be a home away from home. I knew I made the perfect decision when I met Reefa and visited the setting. The premise is clean, has a great range of toys, books, the setting also has various areas for different indoor activities and great outdoor space. After having a look around I knew my daughter would be happy there. Reefa talked me through how their days are set up and answered all my questions.

As a parent you want your child to be involved in a range of activities to widen their curious minds, Reefa puts on different activities to stimulate the children from going to the park, visting the farm, horses, soft play as well as indoor activities such as science experiments, reading, counting and learning shapes. As a mum, I love seeing what my baby's been up to and hearing her tell me about her day and the new things she learned.

Reefa really works alongside us to ensure our child is happy and settled; she's really made the effort to learn and understand her as an individual which is so reassuring because let's face all kids are different and have go through some quirky phases but I trust Reefa and her team to manage my child's perculiarities.

What I also appreciate is Reefa's style of communication, I am updated on how my daughter is doing and at pick up she gives you a more detailed break down on how it's gone and any concerncs she might have. I also want to add that Reefa takes on board information you relay to her about your child and she'll look after your child the way you would look after them and the way she'd look after her own, this in turn gives you more confidence in your decision to trust her with your child's wellbeing.

I am so glad that we chose Reefa as she really cares for the children she looks after and this is evident in how happy my daugter is.
