Clare’s house and family has been just like an extended family for my daughter. She’s made her feel so welcome and happy this year. It hasn’t been an easy year and the fact that I’ve been able to leave her so easily is a testament to Clare and her ladies.
My daughter has great fun with Clare, playing , going on trips, getting messy and playing with her friends. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

You won't get better in my opinion. Clare is instinctive, nurturing, intelligent, responsive, pro-active, kind, open minded and a woman of high integrity and compassion. There is literally nothing that she doesn't think of and I like to describe her as a swan who is paddling fast (though apparently never frantically - gawd knows how) whilst juggling with just her head a huge number of different items.
The staff who work with her are well established and have a great working relationship with her and the children but Clare is the absolute lynch pin - the children just feed off her mother earth with appropriate boundaries style. She is never just ticking a box, but always thinking of the next idea or the next way to help. She naturally teaches, encourages and where appropriate stretches each child, uses humour appropriately and as a role model to the children she is absolutely perfect.
A cuddle is never far away and her thoughtfulness even when under huge pressure never ceases to amaze me. The relationships she builds up with the children and parents is testament to her devotion. She is supremely organised, balanced, approachable and just brilliant. I know without a shadow of a doubt that the universe was watching over us the day we found her. And tno hat is not over stating it!

My son has been with Clare for almost 2 years and I am so glad that we found her!
I am saddened that our time with Clare has now come to an end, as my son starts school in September. She is an amazing carer, who has given my son more than just day to day care. She provides a warm, happy and stimulating environment for children to flourish in. Her home is beautiful, well-equipped and safe for young children to play in and feels like a second home to my son.
Clare herself is an exemplary Early Years caregiver, as are her two assistants. Clare is a warm, friendly, kind and sensible childminder and her reputation within her local community is reflective of these qualities. Clare has always been open, honest and retains a strong line of communication between herself and parents, which in my opinion is the success to ensuring your mind is at rest, when you are at work. She is trustworthy, reliable, professional and extremely competent.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Clare and her team for everything they have done over the last two years for my child.

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?

Clare has been childminding my daughter for over two years now and she never fails to impress me with her skills. Clare is a kind, caring and trust worthy person, always putting others feelings above her own. She is energetic, passionate about everything she does and is a complete pleasure to be around which is why my daughter hates leaving when I go to pick her up!!!! I have never before known my daughter to warm to someone so quickly. Clare's own children are all very welcoming to new faces and happily play with them sharing all the toys in the lovely playroom.
If you are looking for a childminder then look no further - cannot recommend highly enough.
