I took a chance with Claire back in 2018 when she first started her business sending my first born who was one of Claire's first children and it was the best decision I ever made!
Claire is caring, loving, amazing at teaching the kids and is always out and about with the children ensuring they are having a varied and educational day every day!
My now 5 year old cannot wait for school holidays to spend more time with Claire and my little boy settled in with Claire amazingly after being born in lockdown and not meeting many people.
They both love being at Claire's and have never cried when being left and have also taken really well to all members of Claire's family and see them as their own family too!
Claire has a really good variety of toys and resources at home that the child can learn from and they have different themes each week to learn about through different areas of play that Claire sets up for them! If they aren't at home playing they are out and about visiting different groups, libraries, walks, playing in the garden. They have a wide variety of everything every day!
I would highly recommend Claire as a child minder to anyone both of my children have florished with her and will be sad when both of my children have to leave.
