Claire is an amazing childminder! My daughter has been going to her since June and she absolutely loves it. Claire makes each day fun and also helps develop her language and communication skills which are constantly improving daily. I feel relaxed leaving her with Claire knowing that she will be safe and enjoy herself. The days are filled with fun and learning and Claire keeps me updated with photos and messages. Claire’s two boys are a delight too and my daughter loves spending time with them as a family. I would highly recommend Claire as a childminder. Xx

My son really enjoys his time with Claire. Aiden is very settled and happy when with Claire. There is plenty of thing to do and any trips out are suitable for all. Claire provides an excellent and safe service.

Claire looked after our 18 month Daughter for 3 weeks while mummy recovered from surgery. She really enjoyed her time there, playing in the pool and sandpit! Claire has been great throughout, keeping us updated on how she was doing and sending pictures.

After making the choice to return to full time work after having my son I was terrified of the thought of leaving him with anyone! But after finding Claire everything has been so easy and relaxing! She truly loves what she does and has a passion for childcare! Herself and her family are lovely and so welcoming. I couldn't think of a better person to leave him with.

My name is Daniel and i have a four year son call Joshua. Am new to using childcare website so i was abit reluctant initially until i met Claire. Her genuine love for children is 100%, very professional and has a lovely playground in her garden. My son enjoy every moment he spent with her and always happy anytime i pick him up. Claire is great with kids and i would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good childminder locally with fun activities guaranteed.
