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.

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.

Clare has looked after our daughter (our first child) since I went back to work in November and we couldn't be more pleased that we found her. I was nervous about leaving her but Clare provides a fantastic variety of fun filled days and a routine which works really well. I feel completely reassured when I'm at work that our little girl is well cared for - happy and safe.
Clare's obviously passionate about what she does and her wealth of experience is so helpful to us as we stumble through the beginnings of parenthood! She's up to date with all the latest Ofsted guidance and healthcare advice and is always happy to answer any questions we have.
Our daughter is really comfortable at Clare's, she sleeps for hours at her house (something's she doesn't do at home!) and now even reaches out for her in the mornings. We wanted for her to be somewhere that she'd be treated like a part of the family and that's exactly what we found. Clare's family are lovely with her.
She's fast becoming a confident and sociable little girl and we notice positive changes in her development after every week.
Clare's great communication with us and flexibility has made both returning to work and being a working mum so much easier than I thought it would be.
(I haven't rated her food because we make our own)

I was very greatful for all Clare's help when returning back to work. She's fun and enjoys taking the children out and getting involved with activities. My son had lots of fun when with her and always came home with a smile on his face.

I found Clare when looking for a childminder for my son when going back after Maternity leave, it was quite a daunting task finding someone for the first time but Clare was great, she talked me through the process and told me what to expect which I really appreciated. She has been great with my son, she takes him out and about and they always have a packed day. She always manages to magically get him to eat and sleep easily so I don't need to worry. The online diary she uses is fantastic for me to see what he's been up to while I'm at work, she uploads loads of nice pictures which I can then download and keep. She's also great at the little touches, my son came home with a lovely Fathers Day card to give to his Daddy. Big thank you to Clare for doing such a good job!

I'm so glad I found Clare, going back to work as a first time mum is a very hard and daunting experience. After meeting Clare I knew that she would be the perfect person to look after my son, her flexibility and experience made me feel so much better and confident that he would be well looked after while I was at work. Nothing is ever too much trouble, he is so happy with Clare and enjoys his time with her, they are always out and about visiting places or doing things, he has an online diary which she completes throughout the day which makes me feel so much more connected to him while I'm at work. She is thorough and ensures that all the relevant documents are covered and signed, I am very happy in the knowledge that my son is happy and well looked after.

Clare has been taking care of my children since my eldest was 6 months old. He is now nearly four and she now also takes care of my one year old daughter. Clare is a highly skilled and experienced child carer. She is organised and efficient, and the children respond very well to her guidance and boundaries. Both my children have thrived in her care and I have gone to work with complete reassurance that they are safe and happy. Clare is vigilant of all of the Ofsted guidance on childminding and provides a very safe environment for the children. She monitors their development and provides regular feedback and ideas on how to support them. She also provides very creative and nutritious meals for the children, getting them to eat a good range of fruit and vegetables. My children love her! I can recommend her highly.
