Our daughter has been with Reena for just over a year. We originally moved to the North East from Wiltshire and had seen Reena's Profile on this site. After speaking with Reena in the weeks prior to moving my wife and myself had pretty much already made a decision that we would love our daughter to attend Reena's setting. On our arrival we had a meeting with Reena and brought her daughter along, although we had already pretty much made up our mind the meeting cemented this. Reena has a lovely home and in the garden there is an outbuilding which she has made into a nursery and the main part of her setting, this is fully equipped with toys and games for the children. One of the things that we found to be very helpful is our daughters meals were included in the price, from past experience this takes a lot of stress away from our nightly routine. Coming home from work and making packed lunches and always forgetting something. Then the race back to the shop late at night or, early in the morning on the way to drop our daughter off.

I am in the Military so our lives at times can be a bit chaotic at times, with last minute changes to my schedule and going away for long periods at Short notice. In September 2023 I was told I was away for 6 month, Reena made our lives a thousand times easier than it should have been and was very flexible and accommodating with her hours and looking after Rosie. For this we cannot honestly thank her enough!

Our daughter wakes up with a smile every morning and gets her shoes on and waits by the door ready to start her day at the setting. She is busy all week and Reena takes the children to visit lots of places. They go to playgroups on a weekly basis as well as trips out. In the time our daughter has been with Reena, she has assisted with lots of our daughters little achievements, from her speech and sentences, to teaching the children to be independent in a safe environment instilling confidence in a safe setting. Reena was also helpful in assisting us with potty training our daughter, her patience made what should be a stressful transition feel like a minuet task to say the least! With Reena's help this took less than a week to achieve fully.

If you would love your child to wake up with a beaming smile every morning and go to a family orientated based setting, then Reena's is defiantly the choice for you, I would recommend her to everyone. Since being with Reena we gained not only an amazing and professional childminder, but now a very good friend. We are now moving again and unfortunately we cannot take Reena with us, but we are sure we will keep in touch!
