My Summary
Home-From-Home Childcare In Sheldon | Seasonal 🌸 Creative 🎨 Nurturing 💞
About Me
Hello! I’m Rahel, registered childminder in Sheldon (B26), offering a warm, home-from-home setting. I provide term-time care, and funded places.
About My Setting
My childcare environment is unique in the area: calm, cosy and nurturing — a home-from-home space, where children are treated with patience, respect, and individual attention. I keep numbers small so every child receives quality time, care, and supervision throughout the day.
Children enjoy a gentle, play-based routine inspired by the seasons. Expect lots of fresh air, slow mornings, art, baking, songs, seasonal crafts, and outdoor exploration.

My Experience
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion and Recreation Management, where I worked with children of various ages to help them develop healthy, active and safe lifestyles.
I am also a professionally trained doula, giving me extensive hands-on experience with babies — supporting their individual needs such as feeding, sleep, carrying, soothing and emotional regulation. This knowledge, combined with my own experience as a mum, allows me to provide calm, confident and responsive care. I also understand the importance of supporting parents as much as their children, and I bring this gentle, reassuring approach into my childminding practice.
Alongside childcare, I have a background in the creative and business fields, including photography and graphic design. Creativity is a big part of my setting: children explore art in many forms including visual arts, music, movement and imaginative play.
I have a wide range of personal skills and hobbies that enrich our daily routine — from playing musical instruments and speaking multiple languages to gardening, nutrition and building my own small urban homestead. I love sharing these passions with children to inspire curiosity, confidence and a love of learning.

My children love Rahel. She is patient, calm and communicative and I have peace of mind that my children were looked after well while I was working.
She provides healthy snacks and keeps the kids busy with a wide variety of wholesome indoor and outdoor activities which they enjoyed very much. I highly recommend!!
