I love my job and am very passionate about providing a loving home for children to attend whilst their parents go to work or just need a little help. I provide a variety of activities every day, including trips to our local parks, pramtime, daisy nook, singing groups, the library and other places that will help with developing their learning and life experiences.

I've worked with young children for most of my life and in my role as a Primary School Teacher I've come across the good, the bad and the ugly people that decide to care for children to make a living. For this reason, when my first daughter was born in 2009 and I was faced with the task of finding a suitable child care provider...it seemed like an extremely daunting task. Added to this, my daughter was born with various health complications and there were a lot of questions marks hanging over her physical and learning development. I was incredibly anxious and a little bit disbelieving that I would ever be able to find anyone that would be able to live up to the expectations that I had set out in my head.
And then I met Rachel...
She provides the ultimate in home from home care. From day one it's been the smoothest most positive experience of childcare, beyond anything I could've imagined. Rachel provides truly individualised care for every child and their family. She has both of my girls now and I am so grateful to her for the amazing service that she provides. I honestly couldn't recommend her enough...without doubt, the cream of the crop!

Rachel has been the childminder for my two boys for the past 6 years. The reason I chose a childminder was because I wanted my boys to be in a loving home environment which is home from home and that is exactly what Rach provides. My boys are now 10 and 8 and are still excited about going to Rachels as they were the day they started. She's provides the love, care and entertainment that chidren need and the boys are always very happy and excited to go each morning.. My boys are very different and I love how Rach has ensured that both the boys have activities that they both enjoy doing.. I also love that if the boys just want to relax and chill out they have they are able to do so on what they call "Rach's comfy sofas".
Thanks Rach for being an wonderful childminder to George and Harry you have not only been amazing with them but, given me the reassurance that they are is brilliant hands. X x
