Where do we start with Rachael,
A beautiful person who cares for your children like they are her own,
Our son had the most wonderful time in her care and starting as a very anxious child with some separation issues she calmly and lovingly worked through them with us.
We couldn’t have asked for better care or support and we are eternally grateful to her and for what she has done for us and for all her littles she cares for.

Rachael cared for our son from around his first birthday until he was 3 and a half. We feel so lucky to have found Rachael! The setting felt a perfect home from home environment when he was little and as he grew Rachael was brilliant at keeping him active and engaged with lots of activities, interesting trips and fresh air. Goes without saying that the setting was always clean, safe and full of ever changing fun things to do.
Our son loved his time with Rachael, he made lasting connections with both Rachael and his group of pals who he was there with.
Basically we couldn't recommend Rachael enough!!

We are incredibly grateful to have found Rachael to care for our son, Vinny. Vinny has been going to Rachael's childcare setting since he was just 8 months old, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Rachael has been instrumental in Vinny's development into the well-rounded, cool kid he is today.
The setting is wonderful, always clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities. Rachael's caring and fun nature shines through in everything she does. She creates a warm and nurturing environment that Vinny absolutely loves. Her ability to communicate effectively with parents is also a huge plus, keeping us informed and involved in Vinny's daily activities and milestones.
We highly recommend Rachael to any parent looking for exceptional childcare. Her dedication and passion for her work are truly remarkable, and we feel so fortunate to have her in Vinny's life. Thank you, Rachael,x

Rachael has been everything and more than we could have wished for for our daughter.
She’s been at her setting for 3 years and she will be leaving to go to school in September.
An educator, a childminder, a mother, an auntie, Rachael is just wonderful and we’re so
grateful to have encountered her on our path.
Our daughter has learned so much from her, but above all, kindness, respect for people and for everything around us and fun!!

I would highly recommend Rachael and her lovely, homely setting to anyone looking for a caring and attentive childminder. She has been brilliant at welcoming our 14 month old into her home and making sure that he settled and happy during his sessions. Rachael is a brilliant communicator - regularly sending messages and photos of all the exciting activities that they've been doing. She's got an extensive range of resources/toys and clearly has such a passion for helping each of the children in her care develop all their skills and have plenty of fun at the same time!

Our 18 month old boy spends a day a week with Rachael and is thriving with ‘Ray Ray’. His days are filled with nurtured play, songs and encouragement and I can completely relax knowing what safe hands he is in.
I love Rachael’s manner, her sense of fun and energy. I feel so lucky to have found her and can’t wait to see how our son progresses with her and the other children in her care.

Rachael is a natural childminder and educator. Her enthusiasm, positivity and care radiate through everything she does. She takes such an interest in every child and meets their individual needs. We get regular updates and progress reports, and we feel she is meeting and exceeding all requirements. Our daughter absolutly loves going to Rachael's house and it really is a home from home. We appreciate all the extracurricular projects and outings Rachael runs and our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting there. Laura is a brilliant assistant and they make an outstanding team.

My little boy (now three) has attended the setting with Rachael for nearly a year and benefitted enormously in terms of his development and confidence.
It is a great home from home surrounding that has a family atmosphere about the house. This is one of the key reasons I chose Rachael, as child care is not her ‘job’, it’s a passion that she really invests in creatively with lots of indoor and outdoor activities and what child doesn’t love getting involved in some messy outdoor play!

My child Casper has been with Racheal since we relocated to the area around 6 months ago. We were recommended that he go to her by some friends who mentioned that she was basically like their friend and they baked cakes for each other! That sounded wonderful and we went to meet her...I was immediately sure that it would be the right environment for Casper.
Rachael is such a warm and friendly person who bursts with enthusiasm for her work with the children. She goes to so much effort to take them on varied trips to the beach, local adventure parks, animal parks, to see the horses etc and provides very much a home from home environment.
I would highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for childcare locally, she enormously helped our transition to the area and has gone out of her way to help me and give Casper a wonderful time. Highly recommended!
