About Me

Hello,
My name is Rachel Ivey.

I live in Keyham with my Husband and my Son who’s 4 and my daughter who’s 6 months old. I am a Registered Childminder.

Your child will be cared for in a home-like environment within a family atmosphere. They will receive individual attention whilst also enjoying interaction with children of various ages. I will be attending regular sessions at Toddler/ baby groups, soft play centres and visits to other friends and childminders with young children.

When we can, we spend as much time out of the house as possible, visiting places such as the beach, library, park, zoo's, countryside, museums and other places of interest

All children will have chance to engage in a wide range of age and development-appropriate activities, tailored to each child's needs and interests to ensure they are able to reach their own individual potentials. I am required to work within the same curriculum as nurseries and pre-schools, the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

12 June 2023
Highly motivated children thrive in a supportive environment that promotes curiosity and emotional well-being. The childcare setting offers diverse experiences, including local outings, and effectively supports language development. Children show enthusiasm in all activities and receive strong emotional support. However, there is room for improvement in supporting younger children's physical skills. Strong partnerships with parents and other professionals ensure ongoing support for children and their families.
