I sent my daughter to Rumena’s from age 1 until pre-school age 3.5. Our second daughter has started very recently age 11 months.

Our first daughter settled so quickly and thrived there. She made very close and special bonds with the other children who attended and is now sociable, articulate
and confident moving to preschool. We enjoyed Rumena’s daily observations about their friendship dynamics and development at pick up. She was always very communicative through whatsapp and the famly app, we received lots of wonderful photos.

We were so impressed by all the different activities they did at home and in their garden, as Rumena is extremely creative and energetic and has brilliant equipment and toys. We love the home away from home setting, the friendly cats, and the food provided is delicious and home cooked.

They also went on many many trips and adventures in the local area and further afield which the kids loved and learnt so much from, anything from the river and docks, children’s centres, park and picnics to the Christmas panto and Southend zoo! They bring a huge amount of energy and ambition to their work with children, and are incredibly caring, careful and attentive. We are so grateful to have found them.
