When my DS first started childcare, I was naturally quite anxious about leaving him with someone new. However, Rachael very quickly put my mind at ease with her warm, caring personality and the genuine affection she shows to the children in her care. From the beginning she has been incredibly communicative and thorough, always keeping me updated and making sure I feel confident about his day. Because of this, trust built up very quickly.

DS transitioned into Rachael’s care so smoothly and it’s been lovely to see how happy he is to see her at drop-off each morning. It’s clear he feels comfortable and secure with her.

Rachael is also incredibly thoughtful and creative. She does lots of themed crafts to celebrate events throughout the year and often makes special keepsakes with DS for me, which I truly appreciate and will always cherish.

Rachael provides a very personal yet professional childcare service, and I feel so grateful that DS has such a nurturing, home-from-home environment to grow and thrive in while I’m at work. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring and dedicated childminder.
