Renee's Reviews

Positive, Kind, Fun!

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.

Great childminder

My daughter was at Renee's one day a week for about 18 months. She loved her days at Renee's. It felt like a home from home for her and like she was part of the family. I was always completely comfortable that she would be safe and happy there. It was great to see photos of everything she got up to - painting, playdough, rhymes and games and lots of trips out. I would definitely recommend Renee to anyone.

Excellent Childminder

Renee is a really professional childminder who has lots of experience with children. I felt really safe to leave my little one year old boy in her nice friendly and clean home. Renee is always happy and loves doing different activities especially going for walks at the beach or playing in parks. Renee is always reliable and organised.
My little boy never cried he always loved to spend time at Renee's for a fun time. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic - friendly and flexible

Renee has looked after my 6 year old son since he was 8 months old. It can be a confusing experience choosing childcare for your child but as soon as I met Renee in her lovely home I knew that I would feel comfortable and happy leaving our son with her. As a baby she looked after his every need (and he wasn't easy!!) ensuring that he had adequate opportunities for daytime sleeps, a variety of activities and delicious, healthy meals and snacks. She provided me with a written account of his day. He soon became part of the family as he was spending a couple of days a week there. As a toddler Renee took him to toddler groups, soft play, walks through fishermans walk and at hengistbury head, as well as regularly spending time at the beach. He had plenty of opportunity to grow in confidence socially. He is now at school but loves going back to spend time with Renee and her family in the holidays - it's a real treat!
If you're looking for somewhere that's like home for your child and where they will really become part of the family whilst having a diverse range of experiences and plenty of time outdoors, then get in touch with Renee - she's amazing!
