Our children have been with Renata since 2019 when our son was 3 years old and our daughter was 9 months old. Renata is great with children of all ages but we were especially happy that our 9 month old settled in with her so easily. She would take photos of the children everyday and send them to us and update us with how they are getting on which we thought was a lovely touch and gave us peace of mind.

During covid times Renata adapted her ways to ensure the best health and safety measures were in place for our children and us. This was a worrying time for everyone but we knew our children were in great hands with Renata.

Our children liked her home cooked meals and we all loved the fresh produce she often generously gifted us from her allotment.

One thing that really stood out for us was the honest caring feedback on our children’s learning and behaviours - Renata encourages learning through play and positive discipline and the children respond very well to her, our daughter finally stopped biting her nails with Renata’s advice and support!

The children always looked forward to going to Renata’s house, and after 4 years our daughter was very sad to be leaving. She has just started her first week of school and is doing really well thanks to the help of Renata’s setting in preparing her for it, but she still asks when she can see Renata and her friends again. Renata will be missed!
