My son absolutely adores Claire and her lovely family, as she provides a home away from home environment, with fun activities that help aid and develop his learning such as: writing, communicating, behaving appropriately and sharing with others. My son brings home paintings and drawings every day, his tracing and writing ability has also come along fantastically, all because of Claire and the effort she puts in to make sure my sons learning and social skills are encouraged. I personally feel the care Claire provides is gold class, she goes above and beyond to ensure the children she cares for are happy and feel comfortable. Claire always keeps me up to date with daily activities by providing a diary that informs me of what my son has been doing through the day and what he has eaten, she also is very organised and lets me know of any upcoming events from my sons nursery, any holidays that she has arranged and ensures that I am very much part of my sons progress, which is extremely important.Being a full time student, it was clear to me that the childminder that looks after my son, needs to be kind, approachable, reliable and someone who i can trust, Claire ticks all of those boxes and so much more. Throughout my sons development, any concerns I have had, Claire has been supportive and offered much advice, she is very focused on making sure parents are involved and more importantly the children are happy. Since meeting Claire and her caring for my son, a weight has been lifted, I often miss quality time with my son through demands of university, I can rest assured knowing he misses nothing as Claire treats him as if he was one of her own. I would highly recommend Claire to everyone, I cannot praise her enough. My son is always excited on a sunday night knowing he gets to see Claire and his friends on a monday! Thank you Claire for being so amazing! xxx
