My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm Rachael. I am an Ofsted registered childminder, based in the Gosforth area of Newcastle.
I have always enjoyed looking after children. I'm responsible, reliable and trustworthy, and take great pride in my job as a childminder.
I enjoy taking the children out on a regular basis. We enjoy going to various toddler groups and soft plays. We also enjoy going to The Centre For Life, The Discovery Museum, and the farm. During the summer, we spend lots of time at the beach, at parks and going exploring in the woods.
My Experience
I have been a childminder for over 10 years, and in that time, I have looked after children form the ages of 5 months, upto the age of 9. I have also worked in an after school club, looking after children aged from 4- 12. I then worked at a private nursery, looking after children aged from 12 weeks up to 4 years. I have also done work as a nanny.

I am very pleased with the way Rachel looked after my son. Rachel is a very positive and helpful person. She was always open to discussing my son's needs. And I saw that my son was having a good time.

I can't reccomend Rachael highly enough. She is absolutely wonderful. Putting my baby into childcare, was very daunting to me, but Rachael made the whole experience so easy for me and my daughter. She is amazing!!

Racheal has been amazing with my little girl...I returned to work after MAT leave back in March and as every new mam was very anxious about leaving my baby with a stranger. Racheal from day one has made me feel relaxed and reassured. My daughter loves going to see aunty racheal and has settled really well. Can not recommend racheal enough. She is flexible and reliable and great with children. So happy I have her as my daughter's childminder.
