My Summary
About Me
Hello, I'm Rachel and I am an Ofsted registered childminder and a mum. I live in Gedney Hill. Children in my care have lots to do and learn through play in a caring, safe environment.
Early years education combined with exceptional quality care will give your child a good start in life and give you peace of mind.
I offer 15 hours free funded places for children from 9 months if eligible.
And all children over 3 get 15 or 30 hours.
I’m registered for Tax Free Childcare.
My home is warm and welcoming and we have an enclosed rear garden with lots of toys. I love being creative with crafts and cooking. We like going out and about and I am a regular at Toddler Groups. I can pick up or drop off at Gedney Hill primary school.
I also offer a breakfast club and after school care. The older children can enjoy crafts, toys and games or just relax with friends.
My Experience
I have been childminder for 23 years! Find something you love and stick with it!
Prior to this I was a teacher at a Peterborough comprehensive school. My Ofsted report was graded as 'Good' at my last inspection. Children have lots of fun, inside and outside. I have lots of toys, crafts, music, we love cooking with the children. We attend Toddler groups, music group, have outings and make friends.
I take an individual approach to each child and their needs. Working with parents to get the best experience for their child.
Excellent references are available.
My Qualifications
I have a degree in Geography. I was a teacher for a short time. I became a childminder when my own children were tiny. I have since undertaken lots of childminding courses in play, behaviour, safety etc. I am also fully first aid trained. I renew my first aid training regularly. It’s a brilliant job and I pride myself on being amongst the very best.
My Availability
I am available all week, Monday to Friday. I can do early starts or late finishes for shift workers.
