Raquel and her assistants cared for my son for 7months. I was reluctant to leave my son in any sort of care so young at 17months but was forced to due to work commitments. I found Raquel from this website and took an instant liking to her. She was the one and only childminder i visted, i had visited some nursey. However my husband and myself were happy with her from just meeting her once.

What i liked about the set up was it was like a mini nursery and my child wouldnt get bored beacuse she had a number of other children in her care. The house was immaculate despite children residing in it and set up very well for childminding.

My son settled in within a few weeks and enjoyed his time there and i was confident enough to leave him there. I chose Raquel over the nursery as i feel he wouldnt have recieved the same level of care at nursery with the ratio of carer to child. I felt he was safe and Raquel provided well balance meals and detailed this in a report daily. My son also had hes own folder with his daily activites timetable and progress. Hes speech has developed very well with thanks to Raquel.

I am very sorry to that Raquel is leaving Luton and do not feel I will find such a great childminder and would highly recommend her. I would not hestitate in using her again. Raquel offers a very professional but personal service and i have known other childminders personally that do not offer such service.
