Rita has been childminding my son(near 3years old) since February 2018.She looks after him for 2 days each week(20h/week)

I have been extremely happy with the care William has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Rita’s care. Rita’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and William has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is warm and friendly but no nonsense approach which sets her apart from other childminders we have experienced(meetings)

She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know William has recently enjoyed sand and water play, Painting as well as outings to the park, trips to walks in the woods.

Rita is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining William’s confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home. When my son steps outside his boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which he understands. When he is hurt or feeling under the weather I know that he feels happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure his health and safety.



Rita completes a diary detailing what my son has done each day. From this I have a complete picture of his whole day including what he has eaten, how long he has slept and all his activities. This helps me to feel involved with his care and that I can talk to him about his day.

All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care William receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured little boy.

I would absolutely recommend Rita as a great and reliable childminder.❤️❤️❤️❤️
