Claire

The best childminder ever♥️

I really want to leave this review here in the hope that other parents will see it and find it useful. When our child was 10-11 months old I had to go back to work and since it was just me and my husband in the UK I had to find someone to stay with my child. I admit that it was not easy to find someone, I searched for days for someone who was dedicated, loved children, had a clean and well-kept house, because after all that is where my child spends most of his time, and for me the cleanliness of the house was one of the most important things, I also looked for someone who would make me feel secure that my child was always safe. After many searches and visits to other childminders, where I was deeply disappointed by what I saw, I managed to get in touch with Claire. I visited the house and I can say that from the first moments I knew that my child would go there. The house was extremely clean, and Claire was very, very friendly. Obviously I didn't know her at the time, but she gave me the confidence I needed and made me feel that my baby would be safe with her. We started bringing the little one, who only cried when I left him, otherwise he was an extremely well-behaved child, but then it became like a second home for him. I always received pictures of him when he was happy and when he was sad, and this made me understand that Claire is very good because she doesn't hide from me that my child is crying or sad, but lets me see the truth. Ayan, my son, became very attached to her and her daughter very quickly, and they both love him like their own child. Claire is a very dedicated, very loving woman, a person who is very involved in raising my child, who makes sure that he doesn't lack anything when mommy and daddy are not with him, and we love and appreciate her enormously. I don't know if I could ever find someone who makes me feel as fulfilled as she does. I appreciate everything she does for my child and that's why I have recommended her to my friends who have children. I, who love my child so much and couldn't leave him for a moment, now leave the little one with Claire and stay worry-free all day. I know that he will be loved, fed, changed and put to bed and that he is very happy. I recommend you take a look at her profile, and if my story hasn't convinced you, please do it yourself. You won't regret it.

We as a family love her❤️

She is an amazing person and a childminder. As a new mum I face so many challenges with my twins. But she is very understanding and loving to my children. She love them and take care of them like her own child. Though one of my twin is taking town to settle but she is been very patient and calm. She discuss and understand the situation. She also do adjustments and been very flexible to settle the child in. I must say she is outstanding in what she do. She explains and helps in children growth and report us their activity and development. Thankyou Claire for being an amazing and loving Aunty Claire.

My Childs second home..

I am delighted to provide a glowing review for Claire, the childminder who has been taking care of my children, Faizaan and Noorayn. From the moment we entrusted our precious little ones to her care, Claire has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to their well-being and development.

Claire's dedication to her role as a childminder is truly exceptional. She creates a warm and nurturing environment that immediately put our children at ease. It's evident that she genuinely cares for them and treats them as if they were her own. Claire has a natural ability to connect with children, and both Faizaan and Noorayn have formed a strong bond with her.

One of the aspects that stands out the most about Claire is her commitment to providing a safe and stimulating atmosphere for our kids. She has a wide range of age-appropriate activities and toys that have not only kept them engaged but have also helped with their cognitive and social development. From arts and crafts to educational games, Claire ensures that our children are consistently engaged in productive and enjoyable activities.

Moreover, Claire's attention to their nutritional needs is remarkable. She prepares nutritious meals and snacks, taking into consideration their dietary requirements and preferences. This has put our minds at ease, knowing that our children are well-fed and receive the right nourishment under her care.

Communication is another area where Claire excels. She keeps us updated regularly on our children's daily activities, any concerns or issues, and their progress. This open and transparent communication has fostered a sense of trust and confidence in her abilities as a caregiver.

In addition to her commitment to the children, Claire is incredibly flexible and accommodating when it comes to scheduling. She has gone above and beyond to accommodate our busy and sometimes unpredictable work hours, ensuring that we have peace of mind knowing our children are in good hands.

Claire's professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for what she does make her an outstanding childminder. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found her, and she has become an integral part of our children's lives. Faizaan and Noorayn have not only thrived under her care but have also developed strong social and emotional skills that will benefit them in the long run.

In conclusion, Claire is more than just a childminder; she is a caring and dedicated individual who has become an extended part of our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any parents seeking a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their children. We are grateful for the love and support she has provided to Faizaan and Noorayn and look forward to the continued growth and development of our children under her exceptional care. Thank you, Claire, for being a remarkable childminder and making a positive impact on our family's life.

Amazing Claire

Claire is an amazing childminder. My daughter has been going to Claires for over a year and she has loved every minute spent there.

Claire has always provided a safe, nurturing and educational environment, all while being creative and fun with the kids through artworks, paintings and messy play. They do quite a lot of activities which is what we loved from the start: playgroups, parks, allotment and many more.

My daughter has been thriving under Claires care, started speaking a lot more and developed her artistic abilities. Claire has always been a huge help with us first time parents too, keeping us updated throughout the day on what they’re up to but also listening to our worries about our daughter’s development and offering advice and support.

We have been recommending Claire to all our friends and neighbours especially as that’s how we met Claire- our neighbours recommended her. I cannot recommend Claire enough and she has been exactly what our daughter needed at this stage in her life.

Simply excellent

Claire has been a wonderful caring, loving, and supportive caregiver for our child, Samko. She took care of him for 2 years and she prepared him for a reception very well. She has a warm and inviting home that is perfect for children, and she always keeps them busy with activities that are both educational and fun. Claire takes the children to parks, playgroups, and other local attractions, so they always have something new to experience.
Samko has learned so much from Claire during his time with her. He will definitely miss her when he starts school in the fall. I highly recommend Claire to any parent who is looking for a caring, loving, and experienced childminder.
