We now have our third child in the care of Clara. It is immediately obvious when you meet Clara that she genuinely cares for the children she has. There is always a happy atmosphere at her house. Clara is very patient with our children (far more than us!)

After care, food is our next most important requirement. We believe when children eat well and eat properly they thrive; behaviour is better, learning is promoted and above all the child remains healthy. Clara cooks a ‘proper’ lunch everyday. She is passionate about food and this shows. She introduces to new food to the children as appropriate.

Clara regularly attends various local events and gives the children chance to socialise in larger groups. This is important to us and we are glad she does this. She also arranges regular meet ups with other child minders in the area. I know that our children particularly enjoy this.

Clara will devote however much time you like at either end of the day to discuss things. We receive a thorough report every day on each of the children. We also receive weekly emails with lots of photos of all the actives done each week.

Language - As en extra bonus to the points above, Clara teaches the children Spanish words and sentences. Our eldest two children know many Spanish words and sentences, they seem to enjoy learning this (probably because they like Clara), hence besides making them feel good, they already have a distinct advantage.
