Rumena

Love this childminder

Rumena previously looked after my son and we loved her so much that now she looks after my daughter 2 days a week. My daughter is so happy and looks forward to spending time with Rumena and her little friends. They do wonderful and creative activities and also visit many places. Rumena always sends pictures and let's us know what they've been up to.
We trust her 100% and highly recommend her to other parents.

Amazing child minder

We are privileged to employe Rumena as our childminder. She has been reliable, fun, loving and hard working since she had Our little girl from the age of one.

We have been extremely happy with the care our daughter has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Rumena’s care. Rumenas’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and our daughter has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.

She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know our daughter has recently enjoyed sand and water play, drawing and sticking, reading and puzzles as well as outings to the park, trips to feed the ducks and walks in the woods. Last month she decorated birthday card to give to her dad.

Rumena is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining little ones confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home. When our daughter steps outside her boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which she understands she works with me to help maintain same discipline Ie: time out when needed. When she is hurt or feeling under the weather I know that she 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 her health and safety.

I am also aware that Rumena ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet as our daughter does this regularly at home without being told.

Rumena completes a diary detailing what Ayah has done each day. From this I have a complete picture of his whole day including what she has eaten, how long she has slept and all her activities including visiting the toilet and nappy changes. This helps me to feel involved with her care and that I can talk to her about his day I also get a mini briefing end of each day.

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

The most wonderful childminder

Wonderful Rumena looks after our 15 month old boy for four days a week and we couldn’t be happier with her care. Every day is different, full of fun and learning, and so much time is spent in the garden. My boy squeals with delight when I drop him off! Rumena is intuitive, warm, thoughtful, creative, perceptive, gentle and fun with our son. And she is brilliantly straight-talking and open with us, sending us updates and photos throughout the day. Her home is filled with every toy, tent and climbing frame a kid could dream of. I highly recommend her!

Good first experience with a childminder

This is my first experience with a childminder and so far baby and I are happy with Rumena and her home environment. For me it was a tough decision to whom I would leave my 6 month old, but I feel reassured with her also looking after her youngest at the same time, who is a good playmate and friend for my little one, plus seeing how well-mannered her older children have grown up to be. Apart from the required certificates and qualifications, Rumena has a good-sized home and garden for the children to play in and explore. She keeps me updated with the latest baby news via Whats App. And baby has even had her first trip to a local playgroup, which she enjoyed. With my baby being so young, there is often a lot to discuss, but Rumena seems to manage well and draws on her experience of being a mum of 3. If there was one thing I was apprehensive about, it was introducing the baby to a cat. But the baby has no fear like her mother (!) And I think that's a good thing. Overall, a positive first experience.

Very professional and reassuring

Me and my husband both work full time so when grandma went on holiday for 4 weeks, we had no one to collect my son after school. Rumena offers school pick up and after school care until we finished work. My son settled in quickly and was very comfortable with Rumena especially with her girls and family cat. He enjoyed the activities available and the outdoor space. Rumena was very professional and quick to provide updates and pictures while we were at work. My son has multiple allergies so has a strict diet, Rumena provided suitable filling snacks. Would highly recommend.
