Claires Caring Bears

Amazing

Leaving your baby with someone after maternity can be very scary, but from the first day my daughter started she loved Claire and all the other children in the setting.
My daughter started with claire at 10 months old and is now 8, i wouldnt trust another childminder with her.
I have had another baby who is now 2 years old and been with claire since he was 9 months.
The lengths claire goes to for all the children in her setting is nothing short of amazing, from dietary needs to abilities of each different age and child. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting with Claire, i was beginning to get concerned about his speech but claire has brought him on so much.
From play groups to days out, the kids just love it and you can see it on their little faces at the end of the day. Everything claire does is to help and nurture the children.
I cannot speak more highly of claire and her family, i would recommend to anyone who is looking for a childminder for their little one, nothing is ever to much.
Thank you for all your support over the years claire

A childminder who goes above and beyond!

Putting trust in to a stranger to care for you baby/child is extremely daunting and I was so nervous about this aspect when returning to full time work but Claire instantly made myself and my partner feel at ease and was the best decision we ever made.
Claire has cared for my daughter she since was 11 months old and she is now 5 and a half.
Initially it was 3 full days per week and now she supports the before and after school run.
My daughter comes with her challenges and is currently being assessed for ASD.
I can honestly say that without Claire’s support, especially in the tough times, I would have crumbled, she truly goes above and beyond and is part of our family and we feel part of one at Clarei’s caring bears.
There are countless examples of things Claire has done to support us, way beyond her day to day.

The environment the children have is fantastic, they have plenty to keep them occupied and more importantly, learning and developing.
Claire takes them to lots of places too and caters to all needs.

I can’t recommend someone highly enough than Claire.
I can’t imagine anyone else supporting our daughter and family over these 4+ years.

The perfect childminder!

My little girl has been with Claire for the past year and it was the best decision we could have made. Claire is the kindest, most thoughtful person and we couldn’t have wished for a better person to be a second mam to my daughter whilst I was away. Nothing is ever too much for her, she is so flexible and works so close with you as parents to keep each other updated on everything. My daughter was a very fussy eater, Claire did different menus with her and she now has the confidence to try lots of different foods. It really is like a home from home in her environment, my daughter gets very anxious and worried about little things and Claire is always there to give her a cuddle and support it was lovely to see. Every morning her and her little girl are there to meet you with a huge smile its such a happy atmosphere. It is so obvious to see how much Claire and her family care about the little ones, it really is like an extended family. She does so much with the children, in the last few weeks they have been to see fire engines, ride and take care of horses, to the farm and much much more which all the children have absolutely loved. She keeps you up to date with pictures and messages which is so reassuring, I have never had to give it a second thought dropping my daughter off as I know she really is in the best hands. We are gutted that due to maternity leave my daughter won’t be coming to Claire for the next year and will both miss her lots. She has supported me through so much and has always been there to talk to if I’ve had any worries or problems. She has been more like a friend than a childminder and I will always be grateful for that. We all wish her the very best for the future and cant wait to see her again next year.
