Renee is fantastic. We needed someone to fill in for the school holidays as our other childminder is term-time only, and I was anxious about how our daughter (who is very strong willed, and clingy to me!), would cope with this transition. I needn't have worried. Renees approach is wonderful, and she was able to gain the trust (of our daughter) and develop a great rapport from the outset. She clearly has a passion for her job and really cares about the wellbeing of the children she looks after. She gets on their level, engages them with language and play that is appropriate to their age, laughs, comforts, and generally goes above and beyond, all with such a positive energy. Her home is lovely. Spacious and light, with plenty of toys and activities all organised and tidy. My daughter is often taken out to various toddler groups, parks and little parties with our other childminder so has plenty of opportunity to socialise with other children of different ages. Renee is very approachable and communication has been smooth and friendly. I love receiving the photo updates and appreciate the feedback.
