I cannot recommend Rachael enough. Rachael looked after my daughter for 3 years and she thrived in her care. As soon as I met Rachael I instantly felt comfortable and knew her house would be a safe environment for my daughter. Rachael would take the children for days out as well as lots of activities at home and I was provided with regular updates throughout the day. Rachael helped my daughter’s speech and would always suggest resources to help me at home. Thank you Rachael for everything.

Rachael looked after our son from 11 months old until he went to school. She also looked after two of my nephews who loved her.

I always remember going back to work and feeling so sad, Rachael made me feel like I was still with him: She sent loads of pictures everyday and little updates. He absolutely loved his time with Rachael and the other children. She takes them to loads of different places and it is really home from home for them. We would definitely recommend Rachael.

A childminder to our daughters for 5 years, Rachael has been like a second mummy. Both Lottie and Ellie have adored their time under Racheal’s care and she has been a major influence on them and their development. Her genuine approach of guiding, supporting and caring has been wrapped in a soothing mentorship; this has meant my girls have very much had a mother figure during my working hours.

My first recollection of Rachael is her opening her front door with a beautiful young toddler in her arms and Rachael with an array of pretty hair clips in her hair, all added by another child where they had been playing hairdressers. Rachael sat with me and cuddled the child and allowed her to continue to play with her hair. The natural warmth between them, and the trust held on the child’s part, spoke volumes. I paid attention to that more than Rachael’s words in all honesty and it was the best reference I needed: they adored her and she adored them. It was mutual. I hardly read the references in the folder she gave me. There was no need: this affection could not be faked and I knew there and then she was an outstanding practitioner with a true natural way with children. 


Throughout the past five years I have never had to complain about Rachael. I have never had to raise an issue and there has been no concerns on any level. My children never got one late mark to school throughout all these years. Without doubt, Rachael provides a secure and caring environment and her resources are clean and modern: toys are new and well kept. Indoor activities are appropriate and include trips to playgrounds and parks. Rachael sends several photos throughout the day and my girls always returned home happy and bright.

I would thoroughly recommend Rachael as an outstanding childminder. Her house is modern, clean, tidy and her family is welcoming and equally lovely. I would completely recommend Rachael as a childminder. Her natural way with children speaks volumes and she is, quite simply, a really, really lovely lady.

Rachael has looked after our both children,our son Daniel for nearly 3 years and after our daughter Olivia for over a year.
She has been amazing support and help for our family,she was the one who noticed that our son development was a bit slower then expected in his age. She gave us directions and guidance what to do. ( after 1.5 year our son was diagnosed with ASD). We could not do this without her ❤️. Thank you 🙏
When was time for our daughter Olivia to go to care,we didn’t think twice sending her to Rachael.
Rachael provides secure and caring
environment and nothing is too much trouble.
She is warm and friendly and provides
a wide, fun range of activities, especially outdoor such as going to the local parks, playgrounds and playgroups.
Throughout a day Rachael would send me photos of children which I was always looking forward to receiving.

There is a huge range of toys at
the setting and she often joins in with fun, planned activities and trips out.

All in all I was completely happy with the level of care my son and daughter had received and I would absolutely recommend Rachael as a great and reliable childminder.

Response by Avatar for Rachael Rachael on 16/10/2022:

Thank you so very much. It was a pleasure to care for your children and to have got to know you and your family over the years xx

Rachael has played a huge role in our lives by childminding my youngest. My son and I both have nothing but praise for Rachael.

I viewed many childminders when searching for childcare. Rachael was actually the 1st I viewed and I instantly adored her, her care and the love she showed towards the children shone instantly. And in such a lovely homely setting too.

One thing that I always liked was Rachaels communication with me each day. Daily photos and updates on what they got up to for the day. It made me feel like I was there and not missing out while I was working. My son learnt so much with Rachael and her learning structure through play was incredible.

I would almost go as far as to say I’d almost have a 4th child just to be able to use Rachaels services.

Rachael is a wonderful Childminder, she had my son from the age of 9 months. He settled in straight away and was always happy to be dropped off with Rachael. She did so many lovely activities with my son and would regularly update me with photos of his day. She is a very caring person and her mindees all loved her. I found Rachael is very interested in the early years development of her mindees and she had some great advice. I would highly recommend her as a childminder who really cares about the children she looks after.

I can’t recommend Rachael enough. She took my LB out and about almost every day (woods, farm, play groups) and he built great friendships and memories. He really bonded with her daughter too and he couldn’t wait to go back each morning. I never worried whilst at work and I couldn’t wait to hear what he had been up to each day.

Rachael was also very accommodating regarding working hours.

I couldn’t have asked for a better childminder

Rachel has looked after my son for 4 years and has been a massive support to us as a family, she has gone over and above for us and helped in so many ways we can’t thank her enough. My son loves going and really gets excited when he knows it’s Rachel's days.
I wanted a home from home layout for my son as I had to go back to work we’d have you forever if we could Rachel but school age has arrived and my son is off to school in September..
Anyone that is thinking of putting their child in Rachel’s care i guarantee you will get the best for your little ones

Rachael has looked after us little boy for nearly 3 years, and I would highly recommend her to others, who are looking for a reliable, flexible and caring childminder.

My son loves his days with Rachael. She always takes the children on outings, or has activities planned for them, and helps them learn and develop in a way that is appropriate for their age.

Rachel regularly updates us throughout the day with pictures and information about what they're up to. All the children love her and enjoy their time with her. I couldn't ask for a better childminder.

Rachael looked after my little one and also childminders my older children before and after school.

She took care to get to know the children individually and always made the days interesting for my youngest son with local outings and activities.

I would thoroughly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a reliable and caring childminder.
