My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Rachel! I am a dedicated childcare professional with over five years of experience working in nurseries and more recently a full time nanny, holding a Level 3 diploma in childcare and Level 6 in Childhood Studies. My passion lies in creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can thrive and develop confidently. I hold an enhanced DBS and paediatric first aid qualification. Alongside my childcare experience, I’m also a qualified swim instructor and a Brownie leader, which has strengthened my ability to support children’s growth through active learning, teamwork, and play. I am now excited to say I am in my pre-registration phase of becoming an Ofsted registered childminder, hoping to open in September 2026.
