Rachel started looking after my 4-year-old boy and 1-year-old girl earlier this year when our previous childminder gave us notice that she was leaving the area. Our daughter had only been in childcare a month and we were very concerned about her settling in a new environment so soon. Our son was also very used to and fond of his former setting. But they have both thrived in Rachel's care. Rachel is so caring and supportive of the children AND the parents and the activities and trips the children do and take leave them happy and wonderfully exhausted! My baby girl came home chirping with happiness on her very first week. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rachel and her team to any parent but especially one who is anxious about leaving their little one for the first time.
