My Summary
About Me
Hi, thank you for viewing my profile. I am moving to the beautiful town of Axbridge this summer and will have childcare spaces. I live with my husband, two children age 12 and 14 and our little fluffy dog Mia. I am a fully qualified Ofsted registered childminder of almost 9 years. I have a love and energy for children of all ages. I work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 8.30-4.30pm all year around and will be taking the funded hours. I offer a fun home from home setting where young children are exceptionally well cared for and develop at their own pace in a fun secure environment. We visit the woods, parks, soft play, music groups, library, local attractions and playgroups (all activities are included in the daily fee). I like to take the children out and about most mornings and then home for lunch followed by a rest and arts/crafts and free play in the afternoon. I try to follow as closely as possible a child’s routine they have at home. Please feel free to email or call me and discuss your childcare needs.
My Experience
I am 42 years old and have a Degree in Early Childhood Studies which I gained in 2008 from the University of Bristol. I have many years experience working with children in nurseries, schools, and voluntary work with children in care. I have also supported children on a one to one basis who have special educational needs. Most importantly I am a mum to two gentle, social, fun loving boys and this has given me a wealth of firsthand experience. Please contact me if you would like to discuss childcare.

Reviews

Rachel looked after both our children (total of 4 years) and I would thoroughly recommend her. She is amazing with children, always giving lots of cuddles, and you can really tell that her mindees adore her. Rachel arranges lots of different outings and activities to keep them busy and always provided details and photos of what they had been up to.
