I would unreservedly recommend Rachel as a childminder. She and her assistants looked after my son for 2 years from the age of 1 and it was genuinely a wrench to have to leave when we moved house. He had such a happy time there, full of good experiences and steady warm care. Rachel was more like a family friend and I valued her input enormously. Even now when we meet up 4 years on, I see my son light up in response to her lovely approach to children. She was a really positive part of our life and we miss her.
