My Summary
About Me
Hello,
** WE ARE NOW FULL FOR THE NEW SEPT 2024 INTAKE - IF ANY SPACES OPEN UP WE WILL INFORM YOU HERE - THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST **
I work alongside my sister to provide a warm friendly childcare setting for your child. We have a dedicated childcare room and a lovely enclosed outdoor area. We have recently adapted our setting to take on the 'In the moment' approach to childcare. This means that children can immerse themselves fully into playing/learning and we will be there to observe and teach whilst your child is 'in the moment'! Fun and opportunity is key to the growth of a child. We have a wide range of toys and resources available; including water & sand play, messy play, writing, colouring, counting, crafts & cooking to name a few with the choice of free play. We will supply snacks, refreshments and wetwipes but ask that you supply a change of clothes, nappies & any formula/specialist milk for smaller children.
I am married with 3 children (24yr, 14yr & 13yr old) so have first hand experience with the trials different age groups bring.

My son attended Quackers until he was ready for school and he loved every minute of it.
Becky and Rachel are so loving and thoughtful it really put my mind at ease knowing he was safe and having fun every time he went. They’ve helped me more then they could possibly know especially with helping my son be referred for his speech and language needs and also helping with his ASD paperwork and diagnosis. My son wasn’t the easiest to deal with especially with his needs but he was never made to feel any different or treated differently. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better ladies to look after him. I would recommend Quackers to anyone looking for a home away from home for their little ones. Thank you guys so much.

Thank you so much for this Ellie 🩵, he definitely pushed us out of our comfort zone at times but that boy also pushed us to do better for all children. I am so happy to hear how well he is doing!
Becky & Rachael have been my first choice of childcare for both my children for many years now. I searched a lot for decent childcare and the right fit for my now 11 Yr old until I met these lovely ladies. They instantly felt like old friends and I knew my boys were both incredibly well cared for, had super fun, were very well engaged with and were loved by these two. They both go above and beyond in their care, making you and your children feel like part of their family.

Thank you so much! We've had a lot of fun over the years and long may it continue ❤️
Our second and third daughters currently attend Quackers, our eldest having moved on to school. Becky and Rachael are always very thoughtful and remember our eldest and she sometimes comes to chat to them at pick up!
We have always found them very flexible and helpful if hours need changing. Our girls have all settled quickly and enjoy their time at Quackers, they have enjoyed baking, craft and themed activities, plus a visit from Santa! We are glad to know are children are being cared for so well.

Thank you for the lovely review. How could we forget our first girl from your family 🙂
My daughter attended Quackers before moving on to reception and was with them for a very long time. I must say both Becky and Rachael were amazing and became household names as my daughter always talked about them at home and all she got up to everyday. She also would ALWAYS look forward to going in and always came back home happy with crafts she had made during the day. My daughter truly received exceptional care, they provide constant communication and working with parents- all of which made my life so easy and enabled me concentrate at work, knowing my daughter was well taken care of. Thank you so much for all your hard work...

Thank you for your lovely words, we miss you guys and hope you are all doing well?
Warmest regards
Becky & Rachael xx
Becky and Rachel are wonderful childminders. My oldest started with them at 13 months and then a few years later my youngest joined when she was 13 months. We chose them for the home away from home setting, where we knew they would be nurtured and they have both flourished. Both of them were breastfed so I was worried with how they would adapt to napping but Becky put my mind at ease that they could be cuddled to sleep if needed and they both adjusted so well. To us a benefit of a CM was the flexibility for them to nap whenever they wanted without strict routine. They have also been flexible with hours to help us out, especially when I was pregnant with my youngest and attending hospital appointments.
Both children love Becky and Rachel and talk constantly about what they do there, where they played and who they played with. They love the outdoor play, growing things and baking that they do as well as lots of reading and crafts.
I can't recommend Becky and Rachel highly enough, they are wonderful women who I trust totally with my little ones.
