My Summary
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 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.

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.
