Claire has been looking after my daughter since she was 8 months old and due to us moving out with the area we have had to leave. We are going to miss Claire so much!
From the moment my daughter met Claire she felt at ease. Claire is fully qualified and understands babies and children’s developmental needs, the care she supplied for my daughter was outstanding. I think the reason my little girl loved Claire so much was because she got so many kisses and cuddles, Claire was like a second mum to her!
When you see Claire interact with the children in her care, you can tell she is a kind and nurturing person who has a real passion for childcare.
I am heartbroken to be leaving and I want to thank Claire for all the times she went the extra mile for my daughter, from giving her her dinner before we picked her up, to last minute days to cover emergencies! We’ll miss you so much!

My almost 3 year old son has been going to Claire 2 days per week since he was 10m old he adores Claire and her family I can leave him easily knowing he is being well cared for.
Claire’s home is spotless with lovely garden perfectly safe for little people with a varied selection of toys and games.
Claire provides structured routine with lots of variety from indoor/outdoor activities, toddler groups, days out/away and lots of learning through play and music.
Everyday we get a written diary which I find helpful. Claire routinely sends photographs and keeps a progress log of Connors milestones which gets sent home.
I would highly recommend Claire she has a lovely calm nature and her wealth of experience is evident top childminder :)

We were so lucky to find Claire on childcare.com only few weeks before I had to return to work. My first girl (age 3 years old) has been with Claire since she was 10 and a half months old from Monday to Friday. She loves her! She has been always happy to see her and her children; she has been getting lots of cuddles and attention from day one which was a great relief when I returned to work. She is doing a variety of different things through the week (go to toddler group in the park and for picnics, go for big walks, do different activities each day indoor etc) and she learns so many things next to Claire. She cannot think of leaving Claire so she will continue with her for few days along with nursery. Claire is an excellent childminder with so many years of experience. She is such a lovely and caring and very reliable providing us with daily notes, photos, and a folder with all the milestones our daughter had achieved. We consider Claire as family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for our family for two years now. My second girl (13 months old) has also been with Claire for one month! She settles in immediately and enjoys going to Claire’s every day. I couldn’t recommend Claire high enough. Both my girls are happy in safe, warm, friendly hands with someone who truly loves and cares for them! A big thank you Claire for everything!

Claire is an excellent childminder. My baby has been going to Claire since she was 9 months old and she loves her! They go to toddler groups in the park and teddy bear picnics. My daughter is always happy to see Claire and she gets lots of cuddles and attention. She even bought my daughter a birthday present.
She is such a lovely kind caring lady, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a safe and caring environment to leave their children. I know when I leave my little girl with Claire she’s going to have an amazing time with someone she genuinely loves!

My children have been with Claire for nearly 3 years. I couldn’t ask for a more happy, friendly and safe place for my children to be cared for. Not does she care for my children at her home but she attends clubs, days at the park and days out to the beach. The only reason that we are leaving her is that my children are older and I am working less hours. Can’t thank Claire enough for everything that she has done for us.

Claire has been amazing with our son. He has been with Claire since he was 12 months old. She has had him for two years and he couldn't have been in better hands.
He settled in immediately and was reaching out for cuddles from Claire after only one visit which was to get him ready to start for the full day! I was amazed. He clearly enjoyed going to Claires which was a great relief when I returned to work.
Claire is so great with kids of all ages and its lovely that he got to experience playing and mixing with the after school kids also. He loves being outside and had plenty of opportunity at Claires.
He's never been a great napper but amazingly claire got him into the routine of napping on the couch during the day, something we never managed. She also taught him to put on his own jacket amongst other things. We were kept updated by daily notes, photos and a folder with all the milestones he had achieved.
The only reason we are moving on is that he is 3 and starting nursery.
I couldn't recommend Claire enough. Having a lively childminder like Claire is a great way to introduce your child to another care giver and get them used to being with others. Your child will be in safe, warm, friendly hands with Claire.

Claire has been amazing childminder to our son since November 2017. She helped with the transition of him starting childcare as well as my return to work so it had little impact on him.
Her house is very child friendly and they get plenty outside time (weather permitting) and do activities which help develop all his skills and he has come on leaps and bounds since going to her twice a week.
I cannot recommend Claire high enough.

We were fortunate enough to find Claire on Childcare.com. She had been our little boy's (age 2 and a half) childminder on Thursday afternoons for the last year now. Unfortunately due to me going off on maternity leave we are no longer in need of Claire's services;however she and her children will be missed by my little boy. He has grown very fond of them and always looked forward to his visits. We found Claire to be reliable and dependable. She was very flexible and always happy to accommodate us if we were need of childcare out with the usual hours. We found Claire to be very caring towards our little boy. She provides a safe and homely environment to the children. I will happily recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring and reliable childminder.

My family were very fortunate to find Claire when i was looking for a childminder for my 9month old baby back in 2014. This was a very stressful time for me leaving my baby with a complete stranger but claires kind and caring personality along with some settling in days really put me at ease and i was able to go back to work confident my child was well looked after ( i was looking for someone who would love my child and i found what i was looking for). There are a variety of different activities on offer at claires house and she attends many playgroups throughout the week which my child has benefited from socially. Claire herself is amazing with the children, she is patient and loving shea great with us parents too keeping us involved with daily information passes on and the odd photograph from time to time ( would brighten up my day). Claire is very supportive with developmental stages for example toilet training, giving up dummies etc. Claire is extremely great value for money and the most flexiable childminder ive ever came across. We have moved on from claire to attend nursery but my son has so many lovely memories of his time with claire and his friends and so do i. I would not hesitate to reccommend Claire to anyone looking for a childminder , shes just the best.
