My Summary
About Me
Rachel's Childcare Southampton
Ofsted Rated Outstanding 2016 and 2022
I am a mum of 2 boys aged 18 & 21 and have been enjoying childminding for 20 years. I offer a warm and friendly home full of love and fun where your child will have ample opportunities to learn through play and encouragement. We live in Mansbridge in a close just off from the main road. This is close for links to the motorway as well Eastleigh, Southampton and the university.
I have a well equipped playroom and large enclosed garden for the children to play in as well as a 7 seater car for lots of trips out. My car is fitted with 4 extended rear facing car seats for children from 0-25kg making travelling the safest it can be.
My Experience
As well as being a mum myself I have worked as a childminder for 20 years with babies as young as 3 months to children of 13. All from varying backgrounds and with their own individual needs.
My Qualifications
As well as core training such as paediatric first aid, safeguarding children and the early years foundation stage I have a level 3 diploma in home based childcare and regularly complete various training workshops.
I am currently taking part in the Early Years Professional Development Programme.
I am Ofsted graded Outstanding and offer government funded spaces for qualifying 9m/2/3/4 year olds, including the new 30hrs
My Availability
I have space for a child aged 2+ Monday-Thursday 8-5:30 only. Perfect for using funded hours.
I don’t currently have any school pick up spaces available.
I work 7.30-5.30pm Monday to Thursday.
Please contact me for further information.
