My Summary
Eight Years Childminding, Good Ofsted Visit, Promoting Outdoor Learning, Child Lead Play.
About Me
I work from my home, garden and cabin and I have a forest school approach and spend time outside, where we can appreciate all that nature has to offer. We have a range of outside activities within the setting but we also enjoy all the parks and grounds of the many different attractions in our surrounding areas. We have a home cooked menu and provide all meals, cooked from fresh produce. We grow our own fruit which the kids love picking. I love the early stages in a child's life and all the changes and development they go through. As an older parent I have learned patients is definitely a virtue and I have plenty of it. Fun is also a big factor in our play and activities, without it, its all hopeless. We have a loving, warm, friendly home and welcome all to join in our fun. So that learning is easy and we all want to be involved and engaged in it.
I'm a registered childminder and mum of four. Most of them adults now, So I've gone through most scenarios a parent will go through. Lee my partner of 28 years is very supportive of my role and has help me build my outdoor space. I live in a modest detached home within a small engaging community cul-de-sac.
So you are welcome to childminding @rc where I Rachel and my children Jacob, Hannah, Luke and Carter look forward to meeting new friends.
