My Summary
Urmston Childminder
About Me
I live in Urmston with my partner of 28yrs and our 23 yr old son. I am Ofsted registered, fully insured and DBS checked. I use my car which is insured for business use for both travel to and from school and also for trips out during the day. These trips include visits to Dunham Massey and Tatton Park as well as many other parks, museums, cinema, bowling activities and play centres. I also visit the local childminding group once a week which gives the children chance to interact with a large group of children of different ages. I have a Nintendo Wii for the children to play on, with games like Wii party, Wii fit plus and just dance , which the older children really enjoy. I deliver the EYFS, believing in child led play, encouraging children to learn in a fun way through their own interests.
My Experience
I grew up in a childminding environment as my mum started childminding when I was 2. I myself began my work with children in a private nursery in Urmston and then registered as a childminder when my son was born 23 yrs ago. I have cared for many children ranging in age from 6 weeks to 11 yrs. I have cared for children of different cultural and religious backgrounds as well as children with different special needs.
My Qualifications
I have a Certificate in Childminding Practice level 3 (CCP), an NVQ level 3 in childcare and Development and a level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification. I did this particular one so that I can better prepare the children for what's expected of them when they reached school age. I also have many other relevant qualifications such as Paedeatric First Aid, Child protection, Food Hygiene, Risk assessment etc.
My Availability
I currently have spaces for September.

I have had a wonderful experience with Rachel. She has been caring for my child, for 3 years and has been a true blessing to our family. Rachel is reliable, professional, and always goes above and beyond to provide a safe and nurturing environment for my child.
She has an incredible ability to build strong relationships with children and my child has formed a special bond with her. Rachel has a wealth of experience and knowledge in child development, and I have been impressed with her ability to provide engaging and stimulating activities for my child.
Communication has been excellent, with regular updates on my child's progress, daily activities, and any concerns that arise. Rachel is always available to answer any questions I have and is open to feedback.
I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and experienced childminder. Rachel has truly been a blessing to our family and I am very grateful.

Rachael has looked after both of my children. My son will be leaving to go to school soon (not the school that Rachael collects from) and we are so sad about it. Rachael now feels like part of our family. She really cares about all of the children she looks after, and it is clear that they all love and trust her from the way they interact with her. She is completely reliable, an excellent communicator and a fantastic caregiver. Knowing that both of my children have felt happy, secure and safe in her care, and that they have had a consistent, caring early years experience has been tremendously reassuring for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Rachael to anyone who is looking for a childminder.

Another excellent year with Rachael as my son's childminder ( he has now been in her care for nearly 6 years ).
She really is outstanding in her care for his social, emotional and educational needs.
She uses age appropriate language at all stages in my experience - especially given recent research into the best kind of language to help little ones develop.

Thank you xx
Rachael has been childminder to my three children over the last 7 years. She has taken care of all my childcare requirements over the years including full time day care, school drop-off and pick-ups, before and after school care, and occasional holiday care. She is extremely reliable and has always been very accommodating and helpful with any last-minute changes I have requested. She is always kind, calm and patient and all the children are happy and well behaved and know what’s expected of them. Rachael always provides a variety of fun and learning activities for the children, and they love spending time with her. I would highly recommend Rachael as an excellent, reliable childminder.
