Waistell, Racheal Ann

I am open and  Covid19 Vaccinated ( the whole household is)

I  am married and have 3 now adult children of my own of various ages, we live in a four bedroom house in the Birch Hill area of Bracknell. I have a playroom which is down stairs and is equipped with a wide range of toys/activities ideal for children to learn, develop and grow. Our back garden is  enclosed  and is all on one level ideal for playing in, I encourage the children to play outside and there is also a wide range of outside play equipment which they can choose from.We have two cats both of which are friendly and are used to having children about. We have a loving and warm home which has a fun and friendly atmosphere.I work within the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and have completed Safeguarding Children courses. I was a member of Bracknell forest Quality assured Childminding Service "Orchard"( unfortunately due to government cuts the Orchard was closed on the 3rd February 2016). I keep myself up to date with any EYFS training and I have attended a number of different courses to keep evolving my setting . I am a member of PACEY(professional association for childcare and early years) and have been fully CRB/DBS checked and so have my husband and my children who are over the age of 16. I am now the Chairperson (2017)of the local Bracknell and district childminders group so I regularly attend childminder drop ins and other toddler groups so that the children in my care have a opportunity to mix and make friends with children of a similar age. I like to get out with the children daily whether it is to the park or the local soft play area. Ofsted Inspection Grade : Outstanding (26/08/09)
