Rachel has displayed remarkable patience and understanding towards my 2-year-old child. Initially, I had enrolled my child in a nursery, but after just 2 days, I was advised to look for a childminder as my child was struggling to settle in. Despite the significant changes in my child's routine, Rachel remained patient and helped my child gradually acclimate to the new environment before introducing various activities.
Under Rachel's care, my child has made significant progress, learning English quickly and thoroughly enjoying the time spent at Rachel's place. In fact, my child now looks forward to going to "school" even on weekends, expressing a genuine desire to attend. Rachel consistently provides timely updates throughout the day and is incredibly flexible, accommodating my needs when I have had to extend my child's hours due to work commitments.
Rachel's operating hours from 9-5 are convenient for me, and her willingness to extend my child's hours when needed has been a great relief. I am extremely satisfied with Rachel's service and the valuable skills and knowledge my child has gained under her care. I highly recommend Rachel as a childminder!

I contacted Rachel in June 2022 to arrange childcare for my 6 month old son. On first meeting her, she was so well informed and up to date on key information.
Rachel always adapts the daily activities for my son so that he can continue to interact with the other children and develop socially. She always involves him and because of this, he is so alert and interested in the world around him.
Her daily updates keep me informed when I am at work and Rachel is always happy to have a quick chat at the end of the day to let me know how he’s got on! She really looks after him and will mention any small thing so that we can keep an eye out for it.
We feel so lucky to have found Rachel and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I’m very happy my little one goes at Rachel’s house. She always cleaned and I’m noticing she starting to achieve more every single day.
She is having lot of fun and everytime I ask her if she wants to come back the next day she replies that she like it. I’m very happy with her. My little one is very sweet with her and sending her so many kiss and that’s made think that Rachel is very very caring with her. And this is all I need to know. Thank you.

I do not know Rachel personally, however ever since my little girl started, she has been learning more, speaking more and over development is inline with how i interact with my daughter. I can only pray for Rachel’s good health so my daughter can continue going.

I met Rachel when my baby was 8 months. A friend of mine introduce me her without telling me she was a childminder. I saw her playing with 4 kids and I remember that I approached her telling her how brave she was to have 4 kids and she explained me that she was a childminder. My husband was seat in a bench near the park and when I told him How that lady was so caring with kids he agreed as he was looking at us. So we had no doubt when we had to chose a childminder for our son. He turned 1 and we signed him up at Rachel. She is so caring, qualified and she become quickly a second mom for my baby. I had to go back to work and is bad to say but it’s true: I wasn’t worried of how my child was doing while I was working. This is because I knew that he was in good hands. She always send you a pictures or video of their journey and personal video of their achievements. i still have the one when my son was walking or stopped to have his dummy . Thank you. She works with you in order to get those achievements. She really care of her kids. I moved out london and she helped me to find a new nursery for my son. I’m speechless of how she can make the difference in your baby journey . My son was happy to go and he met a lot of new friends . Thank you Rachel for all you have done with my baby A. and we will miss you.

Rachel has been looking after my 1 year old daughter since October. Rachel is an amazing childminder. she has a lovely home that is very clean, filled with lots of toys, a lovely garden and play outhouse. I loved that she wanted to meet my daughter before starting. My daughter loves her to pieces, as soon as I say we are off to Rachel's she gets really excited, and seeing her give Rachel a hug when I drop her off in the morning warms my heart. I love that she sends videos and photos of my child playing and having lots of fun. So Thank you Rachel for being such an amazing childminder!

Our son’s nursery closed quite suddenly for a week due to covid-related reasons and so we had very little time to find an alternative arrangement. Rachel not only stepped in to save the day at the last minute but was able to provide an amazing experience that was on par with his nursery activities in every way. Our one year old took to Rachel straight away and loved the many interesting and varied activities he was able to take part in, like book readings at the local library and trips to the park. We were so grateful and pleased with the overall level of care and experience that Rachel was able to offer. We cannot recommend her more highly!

As every mother, I would like to offer the best things for my daughter. For our kids' development - choosing the childminder is a essential aspect.
Rachel is taking care of my 3 years old daughter. For her, Rachel's house is a magical place. She is enjoying a lot , she is learning new things,she is playing and making friends.
When I first met Rachel I realised that she is the PERFECT CHILDMINDER for my daughter. She is a very kind, friendly and caring person . Her house is safe, equipped with all the necessary materials for children's activities.
Everyday I receive video and photos , so I can see what they do, what activities they have.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your child, Rachel is the best person!
She puts her heart and soul into her job !
I highly recommend Rachel! 💯

My partner & i were looking for a flexible childminder who had previous experience and we came across rachel, we messaged her regarding overnight stays and daytime stays for our 1year old. She replied within an hour and stated she’ll like to meet him first which i highly liked & agreed on as any one could say “yes i can start straight away”. We met up with her and her home was super tidy, kids friendly with lots of learning activities and toys. She showed us around her home including the garden which i was really happy about as we don’t have a garden and i know our son would love it! We met her 2 beautiful kids and her husband who were really welcoming and made our little boy feel at home! Although we’ve had a stay in nanny months ago my partner and i were very sceptical about a childminder as you aren’t present and your child isn’t familiar with the new home. but i must say we we’re and still are more than happy with our decision! From the day our son stepped his feet at rachels home he adapted which was shocking as he’s abit clingy! Rachel always gives us feedbacks and keep us updated via text and send us pictures! I’ll highly recommend!

I have been in London for only a few months now and was really worried about the right person to look after my daughters. (Like any other parent).
I visited Rachel alone and found the house to be homely with lots of toys, with a garden, a play shed and close to a park. I instantly loved it. But the proof would be in the pudding as I was really worried my kids would not take to her.
I came a few days later with my husband and kids and was pleasantly surprised. Especially with my youngest one who easily took to her. This was a shock as she’s a lockdown baby and has spent more of her life in lockdown then out. She’s scared of trees let alone a total stranger.
My daughter fitted in so quickly and easily.
I planned to spend hours waiting around for my kids to settle and cry when dropping them off but they don’t even remember me as soon as they see “auntie Rachel” which has helped me to bribe when it’s time to eat veggies and brush teeth.
I am very happy with the level of service we’re receiving from Rachel and especially the videos and pictures of my kids being sent to me everyday.
Thank you so much Rachel, you’re an answer to my prayers!

Rachel is taking care of my 2 year old son while I’m working. He fell in love with her and her play area and beautiful garden the first visit we’ve made and loves going around. He calls her auntie Rachel and when I drop him he says “bye mummy” and walk in with confidence. She always greats him with smile and I know that he is in the best hands he could possibly be.
For Joshy it’s not like going to nursery because he gets a lot of attention and love, it’s like going to a family member. He is stimulated and does learn a lot, rachel takes him park and Joshy is always happy to stay and goes without a single tear.
I can not recommend her highly enough. She’s just just amazing 🥰

Thank you for the message. It is a great pleasure to have Joshy, he has now become my second son. And I love having him and watching him learn and achieve his personal goals.
Rachel is an outstanding childminder and babysitter. She looked after my three boys. She was able to help one of my sons who had speech and communication delay. He can now speak and communicate like all the other children in his school. I can highly recommend her services.
