Racheljk's Reviews

Like a second home

Our son, Luca, has been with Rachel since December. Like anyone, I was worried about how he would be when I went back to work. He settled in so well. He's 20 months old now. He gets so excited when I turn on to Rachel's street in the mornings. He barges in the front door like it's his own house, chatting and going straight to the toys. He has a better social life than us - always out and about at softplay or groups. His eating, chatting and walking instantly improved after starting. He's cared for so well. Rachel goes above and beyond with occasions and crafting. Luca's happy and confident in himself and Rachel is his bestie! A real relaxed, home from home childminder. I had to put 5 stars for food because Luca steals Rachel's food all the time!

awww thank you Angela I love looking after Luca hes such a joy x

Kids never want to leave her

Rachel started to look after my son for me 4 years ago and he settled straight the way, he would always come home saying what fun they had :-) , I then became pregnant so had my maternity leave planed around the same time Rachel became pregnant so this worked out well for us both. When I decided I needed to go back to work I had no hesitation on who to call just praying she had the space for my baby and she did thank god as I wouldn't know what I would do without her she just treats the children like part of the family and works round my job as they keep changing my hours , my little boy is always happy to get to her house and at times tells me to go when I go to collect him. Anyway what more can I say but what a lovely lady who makes the children feel like they have 2 homes.
