About Me

Hello, my name is Rachel, I am an Ofsted registered childminder and have been registered since 2014. I am very friendly, responsible and dependable. I am also trustworthy, capable and enjoy caring for babies and children of any age and providing them with good quality care and education. I am highly qualified with SEN experience, supporting children with a range of conditions and abilities. I have supported children and families in applying for EHCNA’s and receiving EHCP’s.

I achieved a CACHE Level 3 Award, Certificate and Diploma in Child Care and Education 0-16yrs. I am also qualified with level 5 foundation degree in Early Years Leadership, level 6 SEND, & Eary Years SENCO.

I hold a full UK driving licence and have my own vehicle which enables me to get around. I use extended rearfacing carseats to ensure children are in the safest possible seat.
I have DBS checks and have references if needed.
I understand parents will want to meet me before hand to get to know me and also so your children will feel comfortable being with me when you have gone out.

I previously worked in a nursery as an Assistant Deputy Manager / nursery nurse in a Montessori setting.
I have worked at Nunu nursery in Shrewsbury, caring across all the age ranges and was Room Manager of Toddlers.

My Experience

As part of my college course, I did voluntary work which I realy enjoyed. I have been in two Primary Schools working with Years 1 and 2s which included working with children with special educational needs and with children of all different abilities in the class and also working 1:1 with a child with behavioural challenges. I have also been in a Nursery working with children from 3months to 11years.

I have a good understanding and experience of how to care for babies and children including newborns and have good initiative when looking after them. I can sterilise and make up bottle feeds when needed for babies, and also able to cook dinner for children. I am happy to support parents with weaning. I am able to keep babies and children calm and happy and well cared for.

I have experience with premature babies and understand that their development may be different and may need extra care and attention or exercises from physio or other professional agencies. I have also experience working with twins, ensuring they both are well cared for and happy.

I am a calm person and do not get stressed easily and love to be active.
