I use Renata’s help sporadically, but I am very impressed with the arrangement and the care. Every time was swift and professional. My son is very happy at her house. He was provided with a homemade healthy meals, which for me is impressive and very appreciated. Renata is smiley and cheerful person and listens to each individual child giving them her full attention. The atmosphere in her house is warm and inviting.
I would recommend her childcare to every parent and I already did among my friends.
Renata an amazing lady . I found Renata when I was looking for a childminder for my 2-year-old daughter . After the first meeting I realized that my daughter will be comfortable with her and she will easily handle her . My only fear was that my daughter didn't speak English and I was worried how they will understand each other? three months later my daughrer can start talking English in sentences! In this time Renata has become the best helper and teacher to my daughter, my daughter loves to go to her even on weekends she is ready to go. For my daughter Renata house is her second house . She loves her husband and daughters as well . Renata is wise, patient and cheerful. She will definitely find the right word for every child. If you want to feel comfortable that your child is safe and well looked after while you are busy with your own things then this is the place to come. She is amazing!! I can't describe her in this small space, there is still so much to say . Highly recommend! Lots of love and best wishes for her . ❤️
I have been extremely fortunate to have met Renata and the childcare service that she has offered to my daughter Aurora for 5 years and my daughter Frances for 2 years.
Initially, when I thought about returning back to work after maternity leave in 2019, I was considerably anxious. The number one thought that crossed my mind was who I was going to entrust to look after Aurora. After sourcing many other child care services, I knew when we went to visit Renata, she was the perfect fit. All of my worries as a parent completely diminished. Renata’s approach towards Aurora, who was 5 months at the time was beyond measure. Renata was extremely attentive, whilst always ensuring the safety of Aurora. Renata offered a home from home approach, whereby I felt that her morals were completely in line with my beliefs as a parent.
Since that initial meet, Renata has offered nothing but the best for Aurora. Aurora has been supported immensely with her development, including her walking, eating, speech and interaction with other children. Renata consistently focuses on positive reinforcement and is fair in regards to discipline. The bond that Aurora has with Renata is honestly heart-warming. Aurora gets extremely excited to be looked after by Renata, which is always reciprocated by Renata, which is all I could want for as a parent.
Getting outside and exercise is a key focus of Renata’s. Aurora never fails to tell me when she has been to the park or had a walk down the river with the other children. Recently, the hearts of Kent hospice were offering an art expedition, whereby children could view different coloured elephants along the river. When I decided to walk with Aurora into town along the river on a weekend, Aurora was able to tell me all the approaching elephants and their colours, something which I knew Renata had enforced amongst the children. Aurora was also able to show me a “dinosaur egg” again another positive approach which Renata had instilled amongst the children in regards to exploring their creativity.
I could not recommend Renata’s childcare services enough. Renata is always approachable, kind and puts the care and development of the children at the forefront of everything she does.
In 2021, I had my other daughter Frances and did not hesitate to ask Renata if she would be able to watch both of my daughters. Both Aurora and Frances have attended Renata since 4/5 months of age and have come on leaps and bounds in their development. Aurora, who will be attending school this year is confident at both writing and spelling her name, counting past 30. Her speech is impeccable and she is always complimented on just how well her speech is for age. All of the following qualities are what Renata has patiently and persistently taken the time to teach Aurora. Frances, who will be 2 in July is a keen singer, reciting all nursery rhymes clearly, can identify letters and numbers confidently and also has very clear concise speech again all due to Renata’s amazing work.
We have recently relocated to to Wales and had to stop attending Renata’s which my girls are very upset particularly Aurora who’s attended Renata’s for 5 years. Knowing that Renata has honestly become an extension of our family, we are certain we will remain in contact for many more years to come :)
I have known Renata for 2 years, she is such a lovely person and amazing mum!I have no doubt I have found the best!Renata provides real home away from home care, she is very friendly yet professional, and my doughter Ola love her. She gets upset when she has to leave.She provides an ideal loving environment, and has a very similar family model as myself, so I feel happy and confident that Ola is safe and cared for while in her care.We are very lucky we met Renata on our way. Our daughter just love to spend time with her and her children. We know that our daughter is safe at Renata`s house, has lots of activities and she has very good and healthy dinner as well. I would recommend Renata 100% :-)
Renata has been my son's ( 7) second and my dautgher (4) first childminder,and during all those years she become an 'auntie 'for them and our family. She is very loving and smiley person,always willing to help, very flexible as well in the event if something does change withing the work schedule. She has been the person who actually settled my son at Reception class. She has a lovely house with loads of toys and activities for all kids ages and she provides a lot walks to playgrounds and libraries. My kids really enjoy their stay at Renata's , we were really sad we had to leave her due to our relocation abroad, but she always be our 'Auntie Renata' and she always be like a part of our family.
