What we do

My name is Rachel and I am a childminder registered with CIW. I live in the Llanishen area of Cardiff.

I aim to offer a home from home environment where children feel part of the family and can thrive. My home is spacious and geared around the needs of the children I care for with plenty of toys and activities for all ages and stages of development.

Children are helped to learn through play in line with the foundation phase guidelines. Having learnt Welsh to a good level I am able to offer stories and activities through the medium of Welsh.

I have a large secure garden to the rear with a variety of outdoor toys which the children use under my supervision. I take the children to various activities such as soft play sessions, messy play, ti a fi/mother & toddler groups and outings to the park (weather permitting!)
