My little boy, nearly 2 has been going to Reema for a while. She is super reliable and flexible. She entertains my son and meets all his needs, since he is very active he never sits still. She has a very good understanding of young children. The best thing with her is that she sends photos everyday to show what my boy is up to which I really enjoy to see.
I can highly recommend her :)

My daughter is going to Gigglesngrins home nursery from the beginning of this month. This is the first time I have sent my daughter to someone. I was really worried about how she is gonna react but Reema is very supportive and understandable. My daughter likes to go there from the first day of her nursery. She also keeps updating me about every activities of my daughter. I have a really crazy work schedule however, she is very flexible about the timing. sometimes I send her early, sometimes collect late but she supports me all the way. She is an awesome childminder and I trust her fully. Moreover, although she doesn't work on weekends on my request she accepts my daughter on the weekend and that's a relief for me. I am fully satisfied with her care and highly recommend her for childcare.

Thank you for your comment. Ensuring that children feel at home in my nursery is one of my top priorities.š„°š„°
Reema contacted me and it was a God send! I had been struggling To find someone who would take my son for 1 day. We had our first interaction and I could see how relaxed my son was around her and her family. We met a little boy there who I assumed was her son because of how she cared for him but turns out he was also there for minding. My son is always happy to go to her. Overall very happy with the service and would highly recommend her.

My Son has been going to Gigglesngrins home nursery for a few weeks now and I am so happy with my experience with Reema. I was very worried about returning to work and leaving my 6 month old Son with a childminder for 3 days a week, however by the Friday I knew I had made the best decision. My family and friends have all mentioned how much Teddy has progressed since being with Reema. She spends her days devoted to teaching the children. As we know being a parent we have chores and housework so we are not able to give 100% to our children all the time but being at Gigglesngrins Teddy has since been able to roll over, sit up for longer periods, eat solid food and has been a lot happier within himself from having alot more attention, she is a natural. I receive photos and videos each day of the activities Teddy has been doing and he always looks like he is enjoying himself, I do not worry at all during the day. Reema has lots of toys and activities for the children Teddy especially likes the bouncy chair and play mat. Teddy will fall asleep in the car in the morning and then wake up and smile when he hears Reemaās voice, he really does like her. I would 100% recommend Gigglesngrins to any parent looking for a childminder to teach and love their child like one of their own!!

Thank you Stacey for your kind wordsš„°š„°
I believe Reema is a nice lady judging from my first encounter, however I was not entirely pleased with my experience. I have had a poor experience previously with a nursery and I was advised by a professional to search for a child minder instead. I was a bit skeptical cos I know how my son can be. When I met Reema at her space, I immediately showed concern for the space and told her about my son. I did not mice words and I was very honest. I explained that my son is hyperactive and I worry itās not a good fit for him (not because her space was not good but based on the knowledge I had of my son, I told her my concerns) she was so quick to correct me. She assured me that it will work well for him. I insisted esp cos of the previous experience I had at the nursery. No mother wants to feel like her child is a burden on someone or rejected. I was very plain and clear and honest with her. She kept insisting. I suggested a test run for a day and if sheās okay with him, then my son can begin. However she insisted he starts immediately. She said she would offer a 1:1 support and she really sold herself. I was happy and I agreed. When I got home, I thought about all she said, and she says she has an experience as a key worker (which was one of the reasons I checked her page out in the first place). My son only turned two a few days and he has not had his 2year assessment or has been diagnosed with anything. I know he can he very playful and overly active but nothing I canāt handle and I donāt struggle with it either. But after my first nursery encounter it made me guarded and thatās why I searched for some certain qualities. Reema seemed convinced and after a few hours of meeting with us. After some back and forth and careful consideration, I decided to give her a try. My son was dropped off at hers by my husband at about 9am. Tell me why Reema gives me a call at 9:55am with all sorts of complaints about my child, things I brought to her attention from the start. Long and short was she asked me to come get my child and sheād give me a refund. She was not rude or anything and she seemed quite apologetic. However, Iām really really pained because she doesnāt understand the emotions sheās ignited in me as a mother that her child has been rejected and returned home for the second time. All she talked about were the same things I brought to her attention and she insisted. I understand her view but Iām upset because she did not listen to my concerns and do a proper evaluation. She kept dismissing my worries and promising me she could handle it. She gave me false hope and did the same thing I had encountered and opened up to her about. How bad can my child be? How horrible can he be that in one hour I was getting him returned and getting a refund. Itād have been different if I had her in oblivion about the situation. I am however expecting a refund soonest so I can shut this chapter completely. I think she might be a good child minder cos my experience with her should not define her, however I think she should take on what she can handle, listen to parents and do a proper evaluation before assuring parents rather than being after her nursery growing and having more kids. All these emotions Iām feeling would have been avoided if she had listened to me and evaluated properly. All the best. I expect my refund soonest.

Dear Ella
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience at our daycare. I appreciate your kind words about me personally, and I understand that you had concerns regarding your son's hyperactivity and how it would fit in our nursery's environment.
I want to apologize if there was any miscommunication or misunderstanding during our initial conversation. It is always my intention to be attentive and accommodating to each child's unique needs, and I genuinely believed that we could provide a suitable environment for your son based on the information shared by you. However, upon observing his behavior during the short period he was with us, it became apparent that his needs required more specialized care that we are not equipped to provide.
My primary concern is the safety and well-being of all the children in our care, including your son and the other children, including the infants. In situations where I believe a child's needs exceed what we can offer, it is my responsibility to make the difficult decision to prioritize their safety and recommend alternative arrangements.
I apologize if this decision has caused any distress or disappointment for you and your family. It was certainly not my intention to make you feel that your child is a burden or to reject him in any way. I assure you that I hold a deep respect for each child's individuality and strive to create a nurturing and inclusive environment for all.
Regarding the refund, I have already processed it, and you should receive it soon.
I genuinely appreciate your understanding and acknowledge the emotions you have expressed as a concerned parent.
Wishing you and your son all the best in finding a daycare that is the perfect fit for him.
Warm regards,
I was scared about putting my child with someone she has never met before, but when I met reema she assured me and updated me about my child activities from 7am to 8pmšš sheās such a lovely lady. My daughter canāt stop talking about her and her lovely daughterā¦.. she really enjoyed her stayed and keep asking me to take her back thereā¦ thanks for the making your home away from home for my daughter. Thanks for the assurance
I donāt think I can ever put my daughter in anyoneās care aside gigglesngrinsā¦. Thank you once again reema ššš

Reema is very reliable and friendly lady. She is taking care for my baby boy since he was born. He loves being with her and she always goes the extra mile. Shes been a life saver for me too as I have many concerns as a first time mom and she makes sure my needs are met. She keeps me in loop about my baby's day by sharing pics and videos. Her nursery is very tidy and have variety of activities for kids of all groups. She also provides my baby with veggies and fruit purrees, grains and healthy food. I'm glad my boy is in good hands. I'm lucky to find her. Can't ask for more!! Highly RECOMMENDED!!
