Rachel has been our childminder for over
four years. During this time, Rachel has consistently provided a nurturing, safe, and
enriching environment for my children, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Rachel is both kind and firm, always placing the wellbeing and safeguarding of the children
at the forefront of everything she does. Her home is a haven of educational, fun, and
exploratory activities that support the children’s development and growth. From nature
walks to visits to local gardens, Rachel ensures the children experience new places and
adventures, often returning home full of stories and joy from their day.
One of the things I value most is the intimate and personal setting Rachel offers. As a parent
returning to work, I was not ready for the busy, fast-paced nursery environment, and
Rachel’s calm, attentive approach was exactly what we needed. She listened carefully to our
needs and made a genuine effort to follow our routine, particularly around nap and food
timings, which greatly helped our children transition smoothly into her care. She greets us
each morning with a warm smile, and my children genuinely look forward to their time with
her.
Rachel’s grandchildren, who often visit, are also a lovely part of the experience. They are
adorable and have formed a beautiful bond with my children, adding to the sense of family
and connection that Rachel fosters.
In summary, Rachel is an exceptional childminder who brings warmth, structure, and joy to
the lives of the children she cares for. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family
seeking a trusted and loving environment for their little ones.
