Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
6 February 2020
Children thrive in a welcoming and stimulating environment that promotes independence and learning. The childminder demonstrates a strong understanding of early years education, planning a wide curriculum based on observations and assessments. Mathematical knowledge is effectively promoted through play and routine experiences. Children behave well and play cooperatively. An area for improvement is providing more opportunities for rhymes, songs, and stories to fully develop early language skills.

We fealt at ease when we first met rachael. And our son loves spending the day with her we always get told all of the info regarding our son at the end of the day when we pick him up. The house is tidied daily and always looks clean. So happy we have found such a great childminder.
