About Me

Ofsted registered childminder
Based in Alvaston, Derby

Hello, I’m Rachel. Mum to a 17 month old and step-Mum to two.
I offer services from my own home and custom-built play room.
I have a Labrador and he will be in and around the family home and joins us on adventures.
I spend a lot of time outside in the local community and utilise my Forest School qualification and knowledge.

I have got over 13 years of experience in childcare, from newborn to 19 year olds.
I have worked in nurseries, mainstream schools, SEND schools and respite services for children with additional needs.
I am very committed and would love to work with families with a high expectation of childcare.

Please let me know if you require any further information.

5 stars

Our baby has been with Rachel for a few weeks now and we couldn’t be happier. I was so nervous to send my baby to child care but it’s been such a relief to find Rachel. Her communication is excellent and he always has a good time with her. It’s amazing to pick him up with the biggest smile on his face. It also lovely to see the relationship develop with my baby and Rachel’s daughter and dog buddy. We also love the brand new play room that Rachel has had built. It’s fantastic and so great for our little one.
