We have been using Rav Childcare for years! All our three children have been at this setting and they have thrived each time. There's is a very homely approach which is comforting for parents leaving little ones. She's has great communication and delivers child centred care. She's flexible and welcoming too which is amazing. I'd highly recommend if you're in the Kettering area.

Y. Started has beed to Rav 's setting for almost one year now since he was 1 year old. He has made a huge progress,loves activities provided and actually asks to go to Rav in his free days.
She is an amazing childminder,loving,caring ,very understanding and flexible. She managed to accommodate my always changing work schedule and helped cover long shifts. Little one is always excited to see her. I drop him off happy and smiling and pick him up the same. There has been no crying on drop offs since the first day . Overall I'm grateful to have found Rav and quite happy with all services provided.
