Rachel has displayed remarkable patience and understanding towards my 2-year-old child. Initially, I had enrolled my child in a nursery, but after just 2 days, I was advised to look for a childminder as my child was struggling to settle in. Despite the significant changes in my child's routine, Rachel remained patient and helped my child gradually acclimate to the new environment before introducing various activities.
Under Rachel's care, my child has made significant progress, learning English quickly and thoroughly enjoying the time spent at Rachel's place. In fact, my child now looks forward to going to "school" even on weekends, expressing a genuine desire to attend. Rachel consistently provides timely updates throughout the day and is incredibly flexible, accommodating my needs when I have had to extend my child's hours due to work commitments.
Rachel's operating hours from 9-5 are convenient for me, and her willingness to extend my child's hours when needed has been a great relief. I am extremely satisfied with Rachel's service and the valuable skills and knowledge my child has gained under her care. I highly recommend Rachel as a childminder!

I contacted Rachel in June 2022 to arrange childcare for my 6 month old son. On first meeting her, she was so well informed and up to date on key information.
Rachel always adapts the daily activities for my son so that he can continue to interact with the other children and develop socially. She always involves him and because of this, he is so alert and interested in the world around him.
Her daily updates keep me informed when I am at work and Rachel is always happy to have a quick chat at the end of the day to let me know how he’s got on! She really looks after him and will mention any small thing so that we can keep an eye out for it.
We feel so lucky to have found Rachel and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I’m very happy my little one goes at Rachel’s house. She always cleaned and I’m noticing she starting to achieve more every single day.
She is having lot of fun and everytime I ask her if she wants to come back the next day she replies that she like it. I’m very happy with her. My little one is very sweet with her and sending her so many kiss and that’s made think that Rachel is very very caring with her. And this is all I need to know. Thank you.

I do not know Rachel personally, however ever since my little girl started, she has been learning more, speaking more and over development is inline with how i interact with my daughter. I can only pray for Rachel’s good health so my daughter can continue going.
