Renata

Best childminder you can find!!!

I would like to join others in their wonderful reviews about Renata, she is the best!!! I was very lucky to find her when my daughter turned 1 and I was getting ready to go back to work. Before I came to meet Renata in her house, I had already visited few other childminders' settings. And you have to do the same to understand the difference.
Renata's place is very warm, welcoming, cozy and it feels like home away from home!!! My daughter has spent 3 years with Renata and there wasn't one day she wouldn't want to go....I knew my daughter was in a lovely, caring and safe environment. Over those years Renata was a great help with my daughter's development. Together we went through potty training, talking development and the horrors of getting rid of the dummy!!!!
Renata is providing children with yummi home cooked meals and always make sure that no one goes home hungry.
For 3 years Renata has always been very helpful and understanding. You don't get charged for every minute you come late to pick up your child, what is a standard practice in other places. Over the years she has helped me to understand the system of childcare funding and been very supportive of my flexible work schedule.
After 3 years, when my daughter turned 4, it was the time to say goodbye and my daughter was very upset by this. Now she is thriving in her new school and I know all too well that this is thanks to Renata's work and dedication.
I wish that every parent is able to find someone as wonderful as Renata. WE MISS YOU XXX

Highly recommended nurturing home from home

Our children have been with Renata since 2019 when our son was 3 years old and our daughter was 9 months old. Renata is great with children of all ages but we were especially happy that our 9 month old settled in with her so easily. She would take photos of the children everyday and send them to us and update us with how they are getting on which we thought was a lovely touch and gave us peace of mind.

During covid times Renata adapted her ways to ensure the best health and safety measures were in place for our children and us. This was a worrying time for everyone but we knew our children were in great hands with Renata.

Our children liked her home cooked meals and we all loved the fresh produce she often generously gifted us from her allotment.

One thing that really stood out for us was the honest caring feedback on our children’s learning and behaviours - Renata encourages learning through play and positive discipline and the children respond very well to her, our daughter finally stopped biting her nails with Renata’s advice and support!

The children always looked forward to going to Renata’s house, and after 4 years our daughter was very sad to be leaving. She has just started her first week of school and is doing really well thanks to the help of Renata’s setting in preparing her for it, but she still asks when she can see Renata and her friends again. Renata will be missed!

Excellent Childminder - amazing care

Renata is an extremely loving, trustworthy and professional childcare provider - she took care of my daughter from when she was 8 months old until she turned 2, and actively supported us through all my daughter's milestones - from weaning, to speech and language development, social and sharing skills, empathy as well as encouraging her learning and development needs. She kept me informed everyday of my daughter's progress, sent lovely photos, fed her high quality, healthy meals every day, celebrated her birthdays and cared for her as of she was her own. And my daughter really enjoyed going to Renata's house - sometimes it was a challenge to get her to leave! I would have carried on with Renata had we not moved away and we miss her terribly. She has set a very high bar and it has been hard to find someone with the same quality of care and love that she provided.

She is apart of our family

Renata has been apart if our family since 2014 when she was a childminder to our oldest son. When our youngest was in need of Childcare Renata was actually fully booked. So he went to a nursery and and nanny but they simply were not as good as Renata. The minute she had availability our youngest son joined Little Bunnies. Form Dec 2018 till just last week he loved everyday. Not once did I worry when he was with her. She is simply amazing has looked after both of our boys as if they were hers. It was really sad to say goodbye to her today. If you are looking for a childminder - I couldn’t recommend anyone’s else!

Excellent and Loving Care

To whom it Concerns,

Our daughter has been in Renata's care from October 2017 to April 2020.

She absolutely loved going to “school with Nata” and in the last number of months returned home with numerous stories of her latest activities, learning and even how she’ll eat vegetables with Renata but not at home!

My wife and I are both grateful for the excellent support that Renata provided. In our opinion, Renata has a
perfect balance between routine, discipline and caring for our daughter, some examples below of
this;
- Renata often provided trusted advice to us on parenting. E.g. visually supporting our daughter
through her potty training with positive recognition. She
helped show us and ultimately understand that making it fun with stickers and wall charts will encourage our daughter to do the right thing more often than not.
- We both work and travel frequently. Renata understands this, is flexible for us, and is extremely helpful in providing daily progress through text and pictures. This enabled us to continue @ home with some of the creative stories and learning gained during the day.
- We can tell that our daughter loves the home cooked snacks & lunches that is provided at Renata’ as she often boasts how yummy her food was and she never came home hungry
- Our daughters days with Renata were varied, creative and active where she learns with toys, meets &
chats with new friends and attends Soft play, Play groups, trips to the park, Creative Art,
Growing Vegetables & preparing of foods.

We had no concerns whatsoever in trusting Renata with our precious daughter and in recommending Renata to other parents in the neighboring areas – in fact we have and will continue to recommend her...

Thank You very much Renata....
