About Me
My name is Rachel and I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder based in the Tavistock area of Fleet.

Rachel is a fantastic childminder. She is kind, authentic, open operating with high trust, integrity and expertise. She is passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about the happiness and wellbeing of the children in her care. We were so very lucky to find Rachel and couldn't have hoped for a better childminder for our son who adores her and is so comfortable in her home. He is also a big fan of her dinners! We would have no hesitation in recommending Rachel.

I can’t believe how lucky we’ve been to find Rachel, I was really nervous about finding a childminder for our son but He’s so happy going to her.
Her home is an amazing safe setting with a great outside play area. He loves all the activities and games she comes up with and he has loved the days out they’ve been on in the holidays.
Our son has had some regression this year starting school, a new sibling and all the lockdowns etc. Rachel has gone above and beyond to help. She has so much knowledge and a desire to help him at her setting, Her patience and understanding has no limits.
He couldn’t be happier anywhere else.

My daughter has been going to Rachel for 5 months now and loves her time there. I was slightly worried how she'd be after spending the first 9 months of life in lockdown, but she has settled amazingly well.
The activities are always well planned, and Rachel caters really well for ages. My daughter enjoys spending time with other children, especially ones bigger than her. She's already very sociable. Rachel ensures that she plans anything around her needs (as well as all the other children) and will also check and notify us first of any outings. Hopefully Rachel will continue to look after my daughter for a long time 🙂

Rachel is a brilliant childminder. My daughter settled quickly when she started going before and after school.
She provides a home away from home feel with excellent choices of things for each age group to do, along with a varied menu each week for dinners.
My daughter has spent full days with Rachel over the holidays and loves every minute. She takes the time to organise fun days out, taking the children’s likes and requests into consideration, going above and beyond.
We receive a selection of pictures, all showing one happy child. I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
