Gigglesngrins's Reviews

A great setting!

My daughter started with Reema at 2 and half years old. We visited the setting, we immediately noticed how clean it was and liked that there was a specific area for the children.

My daughter had/has a strong attachment to me so I expected her to cry and not want me to leave. It took a few months for her to get used to me leaving her but this was in no way a reflection on Reema. Once I left, Reema said she would calm down within a minute. Every time I picked her up she had a smile and you could tell she enjoyed herself.
It has definitely got her ready for nursery.

We had a different childminder for our son 4 years ago and the only things I would note that are different is the frequency of photos. I'd love to see more of what my daughter gets up to, especially as I know she loves being there. The other thing is updates/tracking of her progress. I know everyone is different but when my son left his childminder he had a large binder full of pictures, paintings, photographs, tracking his reading etc. She also kept a food diary and kept it in his bag that came home with us so we knew exactly what he ate and how much each week.

Overall, Reema's setting has been great!!

Friendly and professional

I came across Reema on childcare UK. Was very well suited as working long hours at basildon hospital, she could cater to mine and my daughters needs. I was very nervous as was such long days for my 1 year old but she was very quick to settle. She always has a big smile on her face when I drop her off so that puts me at ease, I know she enjoys going there. She is also coming along so we'll with her speech as mixing with the other children I'm sure this has encouraged her to do so. Reema is very friendly and always professional in her approach. You can see the children love being in her care:)

A homely place for my daughter

I felt so comfortable leaving my daughter with Reema. Reema is so welcoming and makes sure that the environment for the kids is as comfortable as possible. It is very clear that she has their best interests at heart. I was so lucky to have her, and her flexibility with my shift patterns was extremely helpful. Thank you, Reema!

Very happy

My daughter likes going to Rema house. She is always happy and smiling. As a student nurse, going to placement and university, it was a struggle to find a childminder who can accommodate my busy schedule. Rema is so good with children and very understanding. I am comfortable with my daughter in her care.

Amazing person

My 15month old started going to Reema for about a month now, she loves it there and it's evidence Reema loves the children too... She keeps me updated, flexible as I work shift pattern even her home has an homely feel towards it. My LO is beginning to talk clearly, she enjoys the activities and she always gives Reema a hug once we get there. Qualified, flexible, maintain high hygiene... Reema also works with my daughter's diet as she doesn't eat much at once.......

My anxiety was put to rest, thanks Reema x.... A true gem

Great environment for children

I used Reema at Gigglesngrins for two months to provide day care for my toddler. The nursery has a real family feel environment and it did not take long for my child to settle in.

Reema was really good with my son during his time there and the children played well together. Whenever I picked up my son he always had a smile on his face because he was allowed to play, have fun and bond with the other children.

When I took my son to Gigglesngrins he had a speech delay and did not respond well to his name. He is now able to interact more with toys and engage in activities, which I attribute to the care and approach used by Reema.

Very High Quality Service

I have been using this service for a few months now and I am absolutely satisfied with the services rendered here.

Location: one of the reasons I chose this place is because it is close to Basildon University Hospital where I work. I easily use bus 100 for dropping off and picking up my daughter.

Hygiene: I will give the highest rating for hygiene because the environment is always clean at all times.

Quality of service: I am really happy with the way Reema takes care of my daughter. My daughter always asks to be taken to the nursery even on days when I'm at home to take care of her. She carries out a variety of activities which is age appropriate and she really enjoys them.

I would totally recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.
Reema is highly qualified and very professional, she has many years of experience and is registered with the council. She maintains and delivers very high quality service.

Reema is one of the best

Reema has been taking care of my son since he was 3months old until now , I had driving lessons and I was worried as a first time mum , I have never used anyone and I was scared leaving him with anyone . Reema treats my son like hers , he’s always happy when I pick him up from her , she’s reliable , flexible , caring , and so neat . I can’t recommend her highly enough .
