Raquel is simply the very best childminder in the area! I wholeheartedly would recommend her to anyone, infact I recommended her to a friend who has since put not only one child but will be putting 2 children with her, which is testament to how incredible she is. There are no words to describe how amazing she is, she has 4 children of her own, so understands children both through her studies and being a mother herself and always puts the welfare of the children first. My little girl has had problems with asthma and some other respiratory issues, but Raquel is quick to spot signs, let's me know and takes really good care of her. My daughter has been with Raquel since she was around 6 months old, she took her first steps, tried her first foods and has been exposed to a variety of experiences that you simply wouldn't get in a nursery setting. Raquel loves taking the children out on fun adventures, learning is interactive and fun, my little girl always comes home full of exciting tales about her day. Raquel encourages independence and respect for one another, which has really moulded my daughter to be a very confident, outgoing and respectful character, which I really do feel has been influenced by Raquel and her childcare settings. If you are lucky enough to have Raquel look after your child, Raquel becomes an extension of your family, she is like a second mother and goes above and beyond not just for your child, but for you too, providing the most incredible support, I can't recommend her enough!
