We would highly recommend Rachael as a childminder. Our daughter has been with Rachael for the past 6 months and we are delighted with how she has developed in her learning capabilities as well as social and emotional development. Rachael provides first rate care, ensuring children are participating in a variety of activities in a safe and secure home environment. Our daughter loves going to Rachael's home and settled within the first week. Our favourite aspect of Rachael's care is the learning journal she completes at the end of each day, providing us with a record of our daughter's time there, including photos. This is invaluable as it not only gives us an insight into our daughter's day but also the reassurance that our daughter is being cared for to the highest possible standard. We would not hesitate to recommend Rachael as an outstanding childminder.
