Renata

Amazing Childminder.

We are extremely grateful for Renata's care whilst our daughter was attending Little Bunnies.

Renata looked after our daughter for a year and a half. Although our daughter was only 11 months when she started, Renata offered us all so much support and care. Our little girl was extremely well fed and looked after, she was stimulated in ways we didn’t expect. Renata is thoughtful, responsible and kind. She is a strong communicator and we always felt like we were working as a team. We have a deep trust in her ability to keep children safe while making them feel cared for and loved. She handled day-to-day tasks with so much professionalism.

Renata has a natural ability to connect with children. She talks to them in an age appropriate way that makes them feel seen and heard while helping to guide them.

Renata is calm under pressure and can easily handle tears and toddler meltdowns, which is very reassuring for parents.

Renata can infuse fun into any situation. She was always genuinely invested in our daughter’s development and would come up with ideas and suggestions and even long term strategies for dealing with any issues that we were having. Renata is passionate about child care. It is obviously a calling for her and not just a job.


When our daughter entered nursery the following year, she was advanced and felt totally prepared. I know that would not have been the case without Renata.
Throughout her time with us, Renata demonstrated exceptional qualities that made her an invaluable part of our family. She is kind, loving and always put the needs of children first. Her wide range of personal interests only added to the fun and creativity she brought to the role.
Renata is an exceptional childminder and we deeply value her contributions to our family. I can recommend her whole-heartedly and without reservations.

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....

Simply wonderful

Renata is the first and only childminder I have ever used and i’m so pleased I chose her to look after my son. She looked after him from when he was 8 months old until just recently (he turned 3 in April). She is friendly, organised, caring and clearly loves looking after children. My son loved going to her every day. She has a lovely clean house with an abundance of toys for children of all ages. She also has a nice well maintained garden with outdoor toys and playhouse which my son loves to play in during nice weather. She takes the children to playgroups and soft play throughout the week and during summer months often takes the children for picnics in the park.
Renata has 2 children and they are both really lovely. She also has a dog who is very child friendly and my son was absolutely fine with her.
My son wasn’t always the best eater and I struggled to get him to eat a balanced diet but when he was with Renata, she was able to provide him with tasty home cooked meals which included lots of fruit and veg which he enjoyed eating with the other children.
Overall, I would thoroughly recommend Renata, she is fantastic and if I hadn’t just had another baby, my son would be still be with her now.

Amazing!!

Our daughter has been going to Renata now for more than 1,5 years. When we were looking for a childminder, we had just moved to the UK and were not familiar with the system. For us, the most important thing was that our little girl (then 6 months old) felt comfortable. The person she immediately bonded with was Renata and to this day she absolutely loves going there!!
She has grown and developed so much, through the loving care she gets there every day, the interaction with the other children and all the outings they make. It's amazing to see how she comes home every day with new arts and crafts, full with nutritious, home made food and plenty of stories. She also loves Renata's own children and the dog, who is super child friendly.
The house is spacious and clean and there is an abundance of toys for the children to play with. In summer the garden is perfect, shaded and all the space for the children to run around.
Renata is also very flexible which is important for us as two working parents, and nothing is ever too much trouble.

Honestly, we couldn't have wished for a better childminder!!

Excellent

Renata is an excellent childminder - she looked after my son from 17months and he really enjoyed his time with her. He is at nursery now and still talks about her. She is extremely flexible with was essential with me teaching full time - as on occasions I would need to stay at school later than usual. Her house is clean and fully equipped with everything a child needs. I am expecting my next child and Renanta is definitely my 1st choice when I go back to work.

Best Childminder by far.

Renata was my sons Childminder for over 2 years. My son absolutely loved being looked after by Renata. She is fun, caring, kind, enthusiastic, and knows exactly how to get the best out of your child. I was very upset to leave Renata but we had to go down the nanny route when my second son was born. I would highly recommend Renata. She really is one of the nicest, kindest however professional people you will ever meet. Jesse will never forget the fun times he had whilst in Renatas care. We will never forget her.
