About Me

I am OFSTED registered as a childminder. I live with my husband and four of my children on the army quarters in Colchester. I am from Inverness, Scotland, but have lived in Colchester since 2001. I worked for Essex Police for ten years as a PCSO before taking redundancy to care for my youngest children. I love being able to contribute to the learning and development of my own children and look forward to being able to do this for other children.

My Experience

I have five children of my own, age 22, 19, 7, 6 and 3, so have vast experience of caring for and bringing up children. I have also recently worked in home care work which I loved, but did not unfortunately fit in with my home life.

My Qualifications

Level 3 CACHE - Home based child care
Paediatric first aid
Safeguarding

5 stars

Our 2.5 year old daughter has been going to Clair for over a month now and we couldn’t be happier that we found her!

Clair is so friendly, yet professional, and offers a caring home away from home environment with her two lovely daughters.

I am so appreciative of how flexible Clair has been to suit our childcare requirements and it is comforting to know how well our daughter is being cared for.

Our daughter comes home having learnt many new things (she is teaching me new songs all the time!) and loves getting involved in arts & crafts, playtime and outdoor fun. I also really like how Clair notes down each day what our daughter has been doing (including what healthy snacks she has had) and learning, and even includes some photos of the activities they have been up to!

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Clair and her Childminding services to any parent!
