Rachael has been looking after my two daughters (aged 8 and 6) three days a week after school since October 2016.
The girls get on very well with Rachael, and having been with other childminders, declared she is 'the best childminder ever'. They both love going to her house and it is always a struggle to get them to go home. Rachael provides a variety of home-cooked meals with dessert every evening which the children enjoy, as well as an after school snack on the way home. She does lots of art and craft and seasonal projects with them, the most recent was a Chinese dragon for new year. She communicates very well regarding how they are and if there are any problems, as well as sharing pictures of messy play and fun in the park. Overall, I am delighted with Rachael's standard of care and feel confident the girls are happy and well cared for when they are with her.
