Renata Childminder
About Me
Monday to Fridays, 8-18 available. 15/ 30 Funded hours accepted ***
HAPPY HEARTs a fully qualified Ofsted registered childminder setting.
I offer childcare from 9 months
We use the Montessori approach to meet every child's needs as we believe children learn best while playing.
We provide plenty of toys and activities to promote development and independence in your own child's interests and we start teaching them phonics at the age of 3 in a fun and easy way, to prepare them for school.
We have created our own style of approach, considering babies and toddlers and their age challenges. We use a simple combination of independence and freedom, safety and enjoyment and learning with a few rules.
Our setting is a safe home from home, where your little ones are nurtured, cared for and become part of the family. We make sure children are always happy in a friendly atmosphere as well as learning something new every day.
We are bilingual and would love to teach your child Portuguese as a second language.
We cater to different dietary, home made freshly cooked food every day based on meat/fish and steamed vegetables as well as carbs such as bulgur, pasta, couscous, rice, beans, noodles, oats, polenta,risotto, Brazilian dishes, fresh fruits and vegetables.
We have competitive daily fairs, but spaces are limited. So hurry and get in contact to avoid disappointment!

Renata is without exception great with our daughter. She will go over and beyond to ensure a safe, welcoming and calming place for all the children. We especially love seeing the pictures she shares of our daughter attending museums, parks and petting farms. We are truly lucky to have her and entrust her with the wellbeing of our child, who she has looked after from 18 months. We can't wait for our baby to attend her setting very soon because we know they will be well looked after.

We adore Renata, she is a super star, our boy started to see her when he was a year old and we want a small and well care place with all the certificate in place and Renata ticks all the box.
Always good report and a lot of pictures of all the fun activity outdoor and indoor the kids where doing. with total privacy on showing only our kid.
The food was very important for us and Renata go beyond by making own fresh food everyday.
Our boy still talk about the time spend with Renata, now he is at school but still go time to time and he love it.
Thank you Renata.

We’ve had Renata as our two daughters’ childminder since 2019, and we are extremely happy with her and the care she provides to our girls. She is always kind, friendly and professional. We can be fully confident and happy at our daily work, because we know our girls are in such good hands and they are very fond of her. She provides good and healthy homemade food, lots of activities, play and miniadventures. She is absolutely lovely and caring person, we will always be very grateful to have had her in our daughters’ daily lives and being their childminder.

We are extremely happy we choose Renata as our son’s career, this was our first experience with childcare, and he was just little (12month) we were nervous to go back to work. Renata made transition absolutely flawless, my little boy always was and still is welcoming her with big smile, hug and excitement! He absolutely adores her, as much also myself and she has become part of family!
She’s very accommodating, calm and patience in her very relaxing environment. We always receive detailed updates and handovers so we are always in the know, of all creative activities, singing and dancing to walks in nature. Great way to learn through play!
All homemade food, absolutely wonderful and lots of healthy snacks.
My son have moved into school now, but he still pop for the odd inset day, and absolutely love it!
Thank you so much Renata, we are FOREVER Grateful!
