A really good egg!
I really can't praise Clare and her wonderful childminding service enough! I was your typical paranoid and anxious first time mother returning to work, feeling like I was somehow letting my child down by leaving her with a stranger. How wrong I was! I can honestly say that from day one, Clare's kind, open and warm approach put me totally at ease. My daughter has enjoyed each day she has spent in her home, which is clean, full of toys, smiles and fun! I should also highly praise Clare's assistant Donna, who my daughter absolutely loves.
I particularly like the fact that Clare is super organised but also flexible and understanding of our family's needs. She has a great sensitivity and empathy which was obvious from the outset. Her own children who are fantastic company for those being minded, are testament to her skill, and really are a credit to her.
On the practical side, I have always found my child to be well fed, with an interesting and varied menu. I have no worries about Clare's ability to get her down for naps etc. Overall her approach is very similar to what I hope my own is as a parent.
Please do contact Clare if you are looking to build your child fond memories in a happy home. I'm sure like me you'll be able to go to work each day knowing that your child is happy. What more could we ask?
