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...

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.

Thank you so much, this is so lovely to hear ❤️
my boy is very happy and excited every time he goes to Becky and Rachael’s in the morning. He settled in very quickly and every time he tells me about new activities he does.

I couldn't recommend Quackers childminders enough. my boys absolutely love their time during the holidays. they come home with stories of a fun packed day and especially enjoy arts and crafts and playing with the other kids. fun friendly environment and absolutely lovely people running it

So happy to hear this, thank you! We love having the boys....always bundles of fun.
We are, and have always been, completely over the moon with the care provided by Becky and Rachael at Quackers. Our daughter is always excited to go and always chatters away with stories about what they got up to that day. The garden is a hive of activities with climbing frames mud kitchens and ride-ons, they do crafting and have even hatched butterflies! Both Becky and Rachael are easily approachable and neither me or my partner would ever be worried about speaking to them about our daughter.
I would recommend Quackers to anyone looking for a home-from-home setting.

Thank you so much 🥰 she is a good kid that one x
I have sent both my boys to Becky and Rachel, one from the age of 4 (he’s now 9) and one from less than a year (he’s now 3, almost 4) and the care they have both received has been excellent. Becky and Rachel are both lovely and they are great at making the sessions both fun and educational, no matter what age your child is. My youngest has been counting and reciting the alphabet since 2! In addition they have provided flexible care when I needed it. Highly recommend Quackers!

Thank you Sara 🥰 we've loved being a part of the boys lives and look forward to seeing what their future brings x
Both my children have been with becky from a very young age. When I first dropped my children off I instantly felt at ease, it a home from home. There's a big garden full of fun stuff like mud kitchen and toys. There's a big room to play in with so much to do, a little corner to chill. They do so much with the kids, cooking, messy play, dress up, crafts, the list goes on, it's never a boring day. My two kids would be upset if they weren't going to Becky's in the school holidays.
Becky and Rachel are so easy to talk to and they keep you updated in everything your children do so your never left out.
I highly recommend these two wonderful ladies.

Thank you Emily! We miss them both LOADS but I'm glad we are still in contact and I get to see them grow into lovely big kids xx
We moved from London and have been with Becky and Rachael for 5 years. We have never looked back. My daughter Ella went through them from 18 months and is now 6 years and in school. My son Darren started with them at 9 months and is at the moment still with them as he turns 4 in a few months. We have seen our kids grow with Becky and Rachael and we could not ask for a better childminder.
They keep the children entertained with a whole lot of games and activities. A wonderful aspect about them is you can see the development of your child as they grow and progress as Becky and Rachael ensure that a timeline of pictures, events and activities is created. They have become more than a childminder but a family.
I would hand on heart recommend them as friendly and reliable.

Ah thanks Carl, it will be a sad day when Darren moves up into big school. You've been with us a long time. We will definitely stay in touch with you all though 😊 for sure!
Becky and Rachel offered everything I was looking for; a homely environment with outdoor activities and most importantly a place where my son would feel safe.
Every time I picked up my child they were happy and interacting with the kids. My son had a lovely year at Quarkers CM, before we moved and I had to find another place for him - if only they could have come with us

Thanks for the review Juliane, we miss you guys too.
Just to confirm that we are a clean setting...Juliane msg me to let me know that she must have missed the cleanliness rating so it automatically gave that a 1 star. Unfortunately she could not go back in to edit it.
After being recommended by another parent, my son has been going to Becky and Rachel for just over a year and he absolutely loves it there. He settled immediately as both are so welcoming and also very accommodating to my needs with school drop off for afternoon nursery settings. I receive regular photos in addition to weekly messages. My son loves the garden and the huge range of different toys and also Noodles the cat. Would definitely recommend Quackers as couldn't ask for better care for my son! Be sad to say goodbye in September as are a big part of my son's life x

There will be a few sad goodbyes with all these biggens moving onto school. We will miss that little cheeky happy that's for sure x
My daughter loves going to see Becky and Rachael. She has been really settled ever since the begining and I have had photos through of the fun things she has done. They are really thoughtful with their activities that are planned which link to what we value e.g. Thanksgiving and the outdoor space is great! Their home is well set up for children to explore and they are warm and friendly.

Thank you Claire 😊
My son and daughter started childcare with Becky and Rachel when my son was 1 and my daughter 7. (My children are now 6 and 12) Becky and Rachel made sure my children were always happy and safe. It was the first time I had left my son in child care and Becky would send me photos and videos of the children to put my mind at ease. My son and Becky’s son have a lovely friendship and do play dates and attend each other birthdays party’s and same for Becky’s daughter and my daughter. I loved how my children felt at home in there house. I was always reasured, always knew my children were looked after by people who really cared about them. I’m happy that me and my children with always have Becky and Rachel and there family in our life’s.

Lovely review from lovely people, thank you 🥰
My daughter started at Quackers in March 2018. From the moment we met Becky and Rachael we knew they were the right fit for us as a family. My daughter settled really quickly and after a week it was like she had always been going there. Becky and Rachael give us regular updates on how she is getting on and what she has been up to and how she is progressing. They are supportive and nothing is ever too much trouble.
My daughter can't wait to go to Quackers in the morning and talks about them endlessly. I can't recommend then enough.

Thanks for the review Jo, we are also happy that she settled so well. It's like she is part of the furniture now 🙂
Becky and Rachel have been looking after both of my children for nearly 5 years. When I first met the girls I felt comfortable and welcome instantly they provide a home from home setting . There is always something different going on for the children quackers are always up to date with events going on throughout the year they are always busy . There is great communication throughout the week with text updates and pictures of what the children have been doing.
My children get excited to go to Quakers which is great for me I can just get on with my day at work and not have to feel on edge. Quakers have been so flexible and helpful and supported me and my family endlessly.
I am so glad we found them they are such a great asset to helping me to provide a stable and secure routine for my children.
Thank you Quackers for all you do you are fantastic keep up the good work 👍🏻😘👍🏻
We love you xxx

Thanks for your lovely review......we love all you guys too 🥰
My daughter has been going there for over a year now and she loved from the beginning. I can see she feels like home, with lovely people around, outside play garden and play room is perfect for my girl who has always too much energy. She loves it so much she no time for an afternoon nap. Would recommend to everyone.

Thanks for you review Alicja. We love how much energy she has and we are very happy that she is happy. Happy girl = happy childminders x
Quackers Childminding have been absolutely wonderful, extremely flexible and very active. It’s a relief to know that your child is in safe hands, developing essential skills, and pickups/drop-offs are on time. Quackers Childminding have super team dedicated doing what is best. Keep it up!

My daughter who is 2 only goes once a week but she enjoys it very much. she looks forward every monday to go and see her friends and gets very excited!! she used to get upset when she didnt understand what was going on but within half hour i would be sent a picture or a text of a happy little girl!
its a lovely home environment and i feel confident that maddie is well looked after by Becky and Rachel. they are both lovely ladies and are very caring. i feel they actually got to know Maddie as a person rather then just a number which i was so worried about when i started thinking about childcare.
i would recommend becky and her team to anyone. they are fab and cant thank them enough for looking after maddie well.

Becky has been babysitting my children since October 2013, either at my home or at her residence. My 3 children ( aged 11, 9 & 5) always look forward to her visits, as she has a variety of interesting activities to entertain them.
On the first occasion, she made the effort to meet my children beforehand so they would be comfortable & settled knowing who was going to look after them.
I would definitely recommend Becky to anyone looking for a babysitter.

That's very kind of you to say so xx
After visiting 3 nurseries and 5 other childminders I was beginning to despair that I'd never find someone who could offer the flexible and professional care I was looking for. I found Quackers through complete fluke and decided to have one more go.
I was immediately impressed by Becky's friendly and confident approach, both with my son and when talking to me. Her home is perfectly suited to childminding, with a large living room that is devoted to the children as well as a huge garden, well stocked with toys and space to run around.
Becky and Rachel clearly enjoy their work, and my son settled in to their routine very quickly. The flexible approach, open and regular communication (through daily chats and ad hoc phone calls, texts and emails) and combination of a relaxed but highly professional attitude makes Quackers a fantastic childcare provider.
- a very happy Quackers mum xxx
