About Me

Heswall based OFSTED registered Childminder.

You can find me on other social platforms - Rachael's Rainbows Heswall -
Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

I provide a home from home environment, working from my open plan kitchen/living space, conservatory and garden, as well as spending time in the local community attending playgroups and trips to local parks. Whilst we enjoy walking wherever possible, I also hold a full UK drivers licence and drive a 7 seater car with appropriate child seats. We enjoy visits to places such as Ness Gardens, Lady Lever Art Gallery, Tam O'Shanter Farm, and Chester Zoo.

I have completed training in all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). I am paediatric first aid trained and am enhanced DBS checked.

I have 3 children of my own, including twins. I am degree qualified in an unrelated field but having my own children was what led me to realise my true passion of working with children, and the importance of early child development, so I took the opportunity to make the big jump to change careers and I haven't looked back.

My rates are inclusive of lunch and snacks. I am food hygiene trained and I provide a variety of healthy, home cooked meals.

I can provide school drop off / collection for St Peter’s CE Primary/Early Years. I am currently taking on Term-time only contracts, with occasional ad-hoc holiday care.

Good
16 April 2024
Children thrive in a positive and engaging environment that promotes their development and independence. The well-planned curriculum builds on existing skills, leading to good progress in learning. Physical development is emphasized, with children showing strong engagement in activities. While the overall quality of care is good, there is room for improvement in allowing younger children more time to practice new skills independently.
