Mums In The Wood Education Omdömen 

Rajni was instrumental at a critical time, when I needed to act fast on behalf of my child. Not only did she provide very professional, thoughtful, tailored advice, she also supported me navigating through some specific challenges around dealing with my child’s other (high-conflict) parent.

She was extremely responsive and worked with me to sort out the most evidence-based, secure/stable next steps for my child’s school progression, writing a detailed, court-ready report comparing secondary school options according to specific criteria. She went above and beyond, working to a tight deadline, and suggesting further support resources.

I couldn’t recommend Rajni and her work highly enough!

Rajni helped us get the school we wanted for our child! She’s very knowledgeable, in particular her mocks were a fantastic resource. She picked things up about my child’s development in her observation that I hadn’t disclosed to her previously. It was very impressive and proved to me that she had an extensive understanding of children as well as the independent schooling system.

Very much under her guidance, she taught us how to support our child at home. We got the outcome we were looking for and my child still asks to go see her and says they miss her.

Rajni has been helping us with my daughter's 7+ preparations. It has been a hard journey but her continuing support, encouragement, high level of professionalism and genuine care for my daughter made it easier. Rajni is one of a kind; she is very compassionate and treats the clients like family, encouraging them, providing detailed, ongoing feedback and working with families towards obtaining goals. She genuinely cares for the children she teaches and makes herself available at any time for phone and in person discussions about progress. Rajni is full of creative ideas on how to build on the love of learning for each pupil and she is brilliant with little children!
Thank you so much Rajni! We ended up with three competitive 7+ offers thanks to your help!

Our time with Rajni was short but we will remain forever grateful for her wisdom, commitment and candour.

Rajni and team were highly instrumental in our son’s success at 4+. We received more feedback about his abilities in three days of workshops than a year of nursery!
Subsequently, their tailored, focussed guidance and support proved invaluable.

We cannot speak highly enough of them and only wish we had met sooner.

Rajni has supported all three of my children through the 4+ and all got offers at Highgate. She is very knowledgeable about the process. She is kind and creates a warm and fun learning environment so the children are always happy to learn with her!

Rajni has been fantastic for helping our 3 children prepare for entrance tests to the toughest London prep and pre-pre schools. Her collaborative approach works in harmony with the child’s natural abilities and she focuses on actual technique rather than just rote learning. Would highly recommend.

We’ve used Mums in the Wood for years, initially with a 4+ mock assessment, and more recently with 7+ workshops, tutoring, and mock assessments and interviews. We were very late to preparing our child for the 7+ but Rajni and her team managed to fit us in and fully prepare them within just four months. Thanks to her expertise and guidance, my children have had 100% success at both 4+ and 7+ with direct offers. I highly recommend Mums in the Wood!

We attended Rajni’s workshops for our 4+ assessments and her sessions and feedback were instrumental in our preparation for the assessment. We were able to prepare our child based on those and secure a place at our preferred school. The sessions covered all the areas of assessment with individual feedback provided at the end of each sessions. She is candid and honest in her feedback which is what you need to get the kids ready for the assessments. Thank you to Rajni and team for all the efforts.

Rajni has been amazing for our children. Our eldest is still working with her for the 11+ (although has got through the first round of City of London Old Grammar 10+). Our youngest has just been accepted into Highgate, City Junior School and South Hampstead in the 7+ processes. We couldn’t be happier! She is a July baby and needed to work hard. From the moment she met Rajni, she’s been relaxed and comfortable with her. I feel Rajni mixes pushing the children with the right amount of empathy so she gets results while building strong relationships with them. We can’t recommend Rajni highly enough.

We are incredibly grateful for Rajni's guidance. She creates a warm, safe, and joyful environment where children feel loved, confident, and excited to learn. Her patience, creativity, and genuine care truly stand out. She understands each child’s needs and encourages independence and curiosity. Thanks to her support, our daughter received a 4+ offer from a very competitive school. We couldn’t ask for a better start to our child’s learning journey.

Absolutely brilliant!

Transformed my son and gave me all the confidence I needed through during the process. Will be coming back for my younger son.

Rajni is extremely knowledgeable about the 7+ process and her reputation in this field is bullet-proof. What sets Rajni apart and makes her unlike any other tutor I have heard of in North London is that she looks at the child holistically and is able to recommend additional actions which may be necessary for the best 7+ prep, plus can recommend amazing additional experts to complement her teaching.

Rajni is an amazing tutor, our daughter has progressed massively since starting the 4+ prep, she made a plan tailored to her and explained to us how to do things efficiently with play based activities. We did the mums in the wood workshops, they were extensive, they literally did everything (phonics, numeracy, fine motor skills..) we even had a confidence building one that helped our little one get used to the assessment's environment. Being first time parents and not used to the british system made it overwhelming to choose the school so we got a 60 min consultation that was informative, Rajni shared so many in-depth insights about the schooling system and personalised recommendations that fit oir daughter's personality and our needs . What we found exceptional is that the service doesn't end after the consultation & tutoring; we were assisted throughout the process which made us more confident and less stressed about this whole journey, she is very compassionate yet very capable and it makes a world of difference
Thank you for always taking the time to talk to us and for the excellent service you provide

This was a very well presented and thought out presentation, full of useful hints and tips, whilst being delivered suscinnctly with multiple opportunities for questions in my opinion.

Rajni is very knowledgable, great with children and her advice is extremely helpful in navigating through the system.

Rajni is genius. Our daughter has been assessed by her for pre-4+ assessments and the comprehensive report Rajni provided helped us a lot with her preparation and skill improvement. I highly recommend Rajni for any advice/mock test/prep related to London 4+ assessments, she simply knows best. Only regret is we did not go to her when our daughter was younger.

Rajni has been my go to person for the past years with my children. Her breadth of knowledge has truly helped me know where to focus on with my children when preparing them for the 4+ assessment. She will give you a detailed list of the points you need to work on with your children after assessing them individually. She is exceptional. I highly recommend her. All my children thanks to God first but thanks to her well detailed reports that I used to work with my children have gotten to Top North London schools that are extremely hard to get into.

Very thorough assessment which taught me as the parent how to work with my child at home to achieve the best results. The assessment was appropriate for my Childs age and the school he was applying for. This is a great service which tailors advice and guidance according to your child. We could even go back for advice with regards to waiting lists once results were out. We got our little one into our school of choice because of mums in the wood

I could not be more pleased with the consultation I had with Rajni. Navigating the local school system seemed daunting to me, and I’m so relieved to have met with Rajni. She cautioned me at the beginning that she was about to give me a lot of information—and she did!—but upon leaving I felt like a weight had been lifted. She walked through the differences between state and independent schools (generally, as well as in North London), entry points and offered an overview of the assessment process. She is knowledgeable, thorough and kind. She’s helped me chart an initial path for my son, and I am incredibly grateful. It’s still early days for us in this process, and I definitely plan to meet with Rajni again in the years ahead. Highly, highly recommend.

Rajni is a very special educator and has an incredible way with children to bring out their best potential. Not only does she have unique knowledge about schools, particularly in North London, she goes above and beyond to create a special learning environment highly tailored to each child. She was incredibly helpful in our journey to find the right schools for our daughter at 4+ and then to help prepare her for the assessments. I don't often write reviews but felt it necessary since I honestly cannot recommend Rajni highly enough. Having secured 4 out of 5 offers (including our first choice) from top N London schools, we have walked away from this process knowing that we have invested in our daughters future and this was money well spent.
