I visited a number of childminders whilst looking for a place for my daughter and Rachel's was by far and away the best - she's such a friendly and welcoming lady and her home is literally like a nursery - I've never seen so many toys, books and brightly coloured posters on the walls. I was completely sold that this was the right childminder for my daughter and I wasn't wrong.
My little girl has been going to Rachel's since she was 8 months old, now nearly one and she absolutely loves going. We regularly get updates on what activities she's been doing via photos and observations which is comforting now I'm back at work and they go on regular outings and to toddler groups etc which is great experience for my little one. We also get the most gorgeous handmade gifts for mother's day, Easter etc - such a lovely thoughtful extra that we really appreciate.
My daughter has really come on since going to Rachel's and I really like how I provide an update on what she's being doing say over the weekend and Rachel will always try to carry it on for me and naturally progress whatever it may be if appropriate. Rachel really puts all the children first and is always happy to accommodate additional days if required due to us working etc. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone - you won't be disappointed.
