Rachael has been looking after our daughter since she was 9 months old (now nearly 4yrs old) for three days a week. After using an alternative setting of a nursery and pre-school for our eldest child, we then found Rachael. We have been so pleased with our choice to put our youngest in Rachael’s childminding setting. In our eyes there is no comparison.

Rachael has helped equip our daughter above and beyond for her preparation for schooling. She is able to write and recognise her name, dress herself, use the toilet appropriately on her own, the list could go on.

Our daughter loves attending Rachael's where we know she is safe and secure. Rachael has been loving, fun and hardworking. This is reflected in Hannah's abilities to share, her manners which are fantastic and the amount of varied activities she is involved in is exceptional, both indoors and outdoors.

Rachael even goes the extra mile, for example, inviting us to attend toddler groups on Hannah's days off, which when we attend, Rachael always makes us feel very welcome.

Communication and working together to hit milestones have always felt very natural and easy. We are so pleased with every element of our daughter’s care and would highly recommend Rachael as a childminder, in our opinion Rachael is the very best.
