Cannot recommend Rarrar enough. Having a covid baby meant separation anxiety was a real struggle on both sides! Rarrar made me & 2 year instantly welcome, even with tears supported her in the best way. Her speech was non-existent and now speaks more clear and confidence is booming. She now no longer asks for me and never wants to leave. We've extended hours with no complications and now get asked about Rarrar days on a regular basis and we have to get special Rarrar biscuits at home!

Oh Jess this is beautiful thank you so much its really nice to know you are appreciated your little girl is a lovely child and we love her dearly even if she eats all my biscuits ❤️
Christine is an excellent childminder! My daughter has been cared for by Christine for 9 months so far and she has settled in and absolutely loves being with Christine, she even calls her mama. Christines house is like a home from home, so warm and friendly and Phoebe settled in straight away. Christine is so helpful and accomodating, nothing is too much trouble :) I am really grateful as she has allowed me peace of mind knowing that my daughter is in safe, caring hands whilst I am working. Thank you so much Christine xxx

My little boy Finian loves going to rarras. She is more like a grandma than a child minder. Finian settled in straight away, if I'm
Honest, he doesn't want to come home!! I would have no hesitation in recommending Christine. She is very loving and caring with all the children in her care, she treats them as she soul her own. Christine is very flexible which is important for working parents. 110%

I currently take my daughter to Rarrars childminding services and have to say that Christine is very good with Charlie and have to say myself that my daughter Charlie really looks forward to goin to Christine so she must really enjoy herslef and i find that by the time she comes home she tired so Christine must really tire her out which is a good thing for me after being at work most of the day highly recommened with a very high standard of child care :)
