My little boy went to Rachel's setting 2 days a week for almost a year.

Rachel has a lovely, immaculately clean setting with good outside space and a play room full of toys and activities. Rachel takes the children out to parks, farms, playgroups, soft play etc. most days. She comes up with great ideas of different places to go and things to do to keep the children engaged and entertained. She sends us a daily selection of pictures and our son always looks like he is having a blast.

She is extremely organised and professional with a daily diary of what the children have been up to including key handover information. Rachel shares a pre-planned menu of healthy, child friendly meals with parents and is always willing to accommodate special requests. Her communication is excellent, giving us plenty of notice for holidays etc, She has also been extremely flexible, occasionally having our older daughter in the school holidays when she can.

But most important of all, Rachel is friendly, caring, kind, bubbly, energetic and always has a smile on her face. She is extremely supportive of each child's needs from potty training, to supporting with difficult drop offs, to nap schedules to managing behaviour and always makes time to discuss any issues with the parents and looks for ways to help.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her setting.
