Clare looked after our daughter for 6 months when I went back to work after maternity. She absolutely loved her time with Clare. They went for fun days out and we would often get photos and videos of what she had been up to which was lovely. She always had a big smile on her face when I would drop her off and was always so settled and happy when I collected her. Clare managed to get her to eat and sleep more than I could! There was a good mix of indoor and outdoor activities and Clare would always encourage my daughter to be independent. We want to say thanks to Clare for helping our little one develop and grow in to a confident little girl.

We started using clare as emergency childcare until we could find a permanent child minder for our 1 year old. We ended up making clare our daughters permanent childminder as the care she provides is amazing!! Clare does loads of activities with the children takes them on days out and ensures the children are meeting all milestones and provides care as though they were her own. Amazing lady and goes above and beyond. Our daughter only goes 2 days a week but she loves it.

Clare has been an absolute lifesaver, offering her services on a temporary basis while our regular childminder was on maternity leave.
She is attentive and great with the kids in her care, taking them to soft plays/music classes and entertaining them at home; my son loved spending time with her and would happily wander off to find toys in the morning without even saying bye to me!
We can't thank her enough for taking us on at short notice when another childminder fell through. Thank you!
Love Jake, Amy and Gareth X

Clare looked after our 11 week old daughter whilst we went to a wedding. I visited her before the day and she really put me at ease about leaving our baby. She was great and our daughter had a great day with her.

Overall
Clare is a absolute outstanding childminder, she has looked after my son for nearly two years from around 6 months old. Clare is first and foremost accommodating to our son, and to other children, she has interaction with all of the all of the time, updates and records the children's activities, what they do, when they do it, she supports parents decision but also gives recommendations when required. Clare is flexible, informative, commutative yet disciplined when required to do so. her pricing is very reasonable and she has been a intricate element to our sons growth, unfortunately kids grow up and is the only reason he has to grow and move on, I would recommend Clare in a heart beat and if I was to ever have anymore they would go straight to Clare again. thank you so much Clare you have been a absolute amazing star and our son has benefited from it so well.
