Rachel E

Excellent

As a first time mum the thought of going back to work and leaving my baby filled me with dread. Rachel completely understood this and made every effort to ensure both myself and my baby were 100% happy before the time came. We had several settling sessions which we did over a number of weeks before hand and Rachel let me take them at my own pace making the transition to return to work much less stressful for me and baby!
Billy loves his time with Rachel and the other children who are all fab. Everyweek Rachel organises different activities and outings for them all, centered around learning and development and is equally well equipped for 'free play' at home. She is always thinking of new projects to do with the children and coming up with new ideas!
She goes out of her way to ensure each childs needs are met and often when we go around theres new nutrious foods in the fridge for Billy to try with her.
Rachel will never 'over stretch' herself when it comes to the numbers of children she has. The quality of the care the children receive is her priority, and as a parent this gives me great comfort.
As a family we feel we have found a perfect match for Billy, so thankyou Rachel :o)

outstanding!!

Can not praise this lady enough!!! Her weekly activities and outings go above and beyond any childminder I have heard of. The food is wholesome and nutritious and she is always considerate of children's tastes.
My little monkey can be quite challenging and Rachel has not only accommodated for this but also undertaken extra training to better assist me and Dad with our daughter. She is without a doubt an absolute treasure and has made the transition back into full time employment so much easier, in the happy knowledge that our little one is safe, happy and loved. Well done Rachel!! we think you are simply wonderful xxx

Outstanding

I was seeking a committed and dedicated childminder urgently and came across cheeky monkey's childminding service. What a breath of fresh air! Rachel was so accommodating, flexible in providing care for my 2 children and
Absolutely dedicated to her role.

The children adore her and Rachel has kept them busy throughout the summer holidays, by organising days out, fun filled and creative activities.
The meals are nutritious and wholesome and Rachel goes to a lot of effort to accommodate to the child's likes and dislikes, choice is promoted and the children enjoy even engaging in learning to cook and bake.

I have felt comforted and at ease when going to work, knowing my children are
With a lovely, kind and dedicated childminder.

She is the perfect Mary poppins!

We as a family would very highly recommend her.
