Rachael has looked after both of my children for a total of 6 years, and I couldn’t honestly ask for anyone better.
Both of my children have loved going to Rachael’s and have missed her and the children so much when starting school. They were always excited to tell me what they have done with their day and there was always an activity. Whether that be going over the park, going to the local animal sanctuary or a local playgroup, they always had a wonderful time.
When the weather is warm they’re always outside playing and when the weather was rainy, they always had indoor activities to keep them occupied - never a dull moment!
I would highly recommend Rachael without hesitation!

I cannot recommend Rachael enough. Rachael looked after my daughter for 3 years and she thrived in her care. As soon as I met Rachael I instantly felt comfortable and knew her house would be a safe environment for my daughter. Rachael would take the children for days out as well as lots of activities at home and I was provided with regular updates throughout the day. Rachael helped my daughter’s speech and would always suggest resources to help me at home. Thank you Rachael for everything.

Rachael looked after our son from 11 months old until he went to school. She also looked after two of my nephews who loved her.
I always remember going back to work and feeling so sad, Rachael made me feel like I was still with him: She sent loads of pictures everyday and little updates. He absolutely loved his time with Rachael and the other children. She takes them to loads of different places and it is really home from home for them. We would definitely recommend Rachael.
