We live in Banstead, in a lovely cul de sac close to Oaks Park.
We are a short drive from Banstead Village, Nork, Woodmansterne, Little Woodcote, Chipstead, Carshalton beeches, Wallington and Purley.
Research shows that learning is promoted through play, both indoor and outdoor.
I ensure the children have lots of fun and learning experiences by taking them to local farms, soft play and baby and toddler groups where they can play with other children to aid in developing social skills.
We visit local parks and participate as a group in activities such as picnics, nature trails, ball games.
At my home, I have a large garden with a trampoline, slide, Mud kitchen and water and sand tables and a step 2 roller coaster that can be used all year round.
in the summer we have a small paddling pool which is a absolute favourite with all ages.
We have lots of arts and crafts resources and we often make lots of lovely creations
using either painting, stickers, salt dough, glitter the list is endless.
We often make cakes, biscuits, bread and our own pizzas to take home and share
I provide well balanced, healthy meals for all ages and i can cater for all dietary requirements i have a up to date level 2 in food hygiene.

Honestly, we feel so blessed to have known Clare. My daughter started with when she was 1 and was always excited to go round, she had such a special bond with Clare and her children which was so nice to see! Clare was always so flexible and accommodating and always provided me with updates and photos throughout the day.
Beyond grateful for everything you have done, thankyou Clare.

Clare is amazing! She started looking after my 3 year old daughter in January and my girl absolutely adores her!
She comes home telling me all about how much fun she has had and all the nice food she has eaten.
Absolutely no complaints from me, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! Such a great lady, childminder and Mum.

I first sent my daughter to Clare when she was 7 months old. It was a very difficult thing to do but I couldn't have chosen a better person. She has always felt so settled there and never had any trouble getting her through the door, she absolutely loved her time with Clare and always came home happy. Clare took my daughter out to a variety of places and was always doing activities. She has now started Nursery and been so confident, I am sure her time with Clare has had a major impact on this. I would highly recommend Clare!

Clare is so good with children. My children have been going to her for 3 years now and every time they go they do something different. She does such fun activities with them that they don’t ever want to leave clares house. She has such a lovely nursery area with loads of toys, books ect and a lovely garden area for the kids to play. I highly recommend Clare I would be lost with out her.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Clare! We've actually reduced her days at nursery so she can go to Clare more. She always comes home having learnt something new or telling us of an exciting day out. Clare is great with the kids and very approachable. Her home is lovely and very welcoming.
