Rachel agreed to look after our little one. My partner and I were really happy we had found somebody that we liked. However a few weeks went on and Rachel would not send us the paperwork to sign contract. She said it was to do with her daughter being ill, her computer, then email. I began to see how disorganised she was and full of excuses. I told her the date she would start looking after my daughter to which she agreed and then a few weeks later informed me that she was going on holiday so she would not be able to start that day! I had already told my employer of the start dateand told other childminders that we had found somebody so we are now left without somebody for our daughter. She then made excuses and said that I was unreasonable for saying that we need somebody we can trust and somebody who is organised. After a few weeks I don't think it's unreasonable to feel like the plus she then said that its best she doesn't Take the job on! I had a feeling she would mess us around but decided to wait and see as I thought she was very nice. Avoid this childminder because she'll mess you around!

THIS IS NOT EVEN TRUE
I agreed to take on their child and after PC issues, I was waiting for them to send me their address so I could take the paperwork round to them myself.
I informed the family of my holiday which I booked at the started of the year and this didn't suit them.
After receiving rude and demanding texts today and I then decided not to go ahead with caring for their child.....this then led to abusive text which I then had to block.
I have a portfolio full of lovely references and the children in my care are very happy. Please do not let this unreasonable review sway you.
