Clare Newbury

Incredibly kind and warm hearted

Clare is the most amazing kind hearted person we have ever met and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after our children.

My daughter was experiencing social and separation anxiety when she started with Clare and Clare supported us and her through this with such a home from home energy and environment that now in such a short space of time our daughter asks to go every day and has made some wonderful friends.

We love the pictures Clare sends us during the day of what they are doing. they keep us comforted while at work to know they are both in amazing hands.

Thank you for everything you do Clare!

Outstanding

Clare welcomed my little girl with open arms after some challenges we had at a local nursery which included lots of tears at each drop off.

My daughter has been with Clare now for 2 years and has always walked in her door with a big smile and a wave goodbye for me which makes working all the hours that little bit easier. She asks after Clare and her whole family on the weekends, showing the relationships she has built with them all. Clare really has been a home from home and my daughter thoroughly enjoys being there.
The photos of her through the day really do keep me going too.
My daughter is awaiting referrals and Clare has gone above and beyond to support her learning often 1:1 and she has now reached all the milestones we didn't expect to get to. Clare has stood by us through some difficult times and always ensured her home was a safe and routine place for our daughter and we couldn't be more greatful to have found her.
My daughter is looking forward to starting school, and also still having school holidays with Clare.
We are blessed to have had her input in our daughters life.

Absolutely Amazing Caring, Kind, Experienced Gem

Clare has been a real god send! She has looked after my son since he was 1 years old 5 days a week he’s now almost 5.
She has done a fantastic job looking after him and she regularly takes him out on days out and to play groups pre covid, she also does crafts which are great keepsakes and she sends pictures through of everything they are doing. Clare also keeps a folder with pictures and achievements which is so lovely to look back on.
She is like part of my sons family not just a childminder!
He’s always so happy to go to Clares and loves her very much.
My son also has a very rare metabolic condition which means he has to follow a strict low protein diet and have supplements throughout the day made up for him clare has been brilliant in getting to grips with his diet and always includes him in everything, even if he can’t have the same as the other children clare will make or buy something similar that he can have.
Thank you for everything Clare it really is truly appreciated we couldn’t ask for anyone better to look after Max!

Absolutely amazing

Clare started childminding my little girl after we had a previous bad experience with a different childminder. From the moment we met Clare I had no concerns at all, she was warm, welcoming and my daughter loved her instantly. Although previously upset about working 5 days a week it comforted me knowing that my daughter was being cared for so well and having such a lovely time. Clare has a wide range of toys and supports their learning, always doing different activities with the children and taking them to playgroups. Clare constantly kept me updated on how Imogen was and I loved the pictures I would receive. My daughter still talks about Clare years later and often looks at the beautiful collage clare made her of pictures of some of the things they did together. I couldn't recommend Clare more, she's an absolute natural with children and I feel so lucky that my daughter had such an amazing childminder.

Fantastic Child Minder!

Clare has been childminder to my two boys since they were 1 and 3 years old. In the 3 + years she has been looking after them i can honestly say she has been absolutely amazing! My boys love going to Clare and thoroughly enjoy being in her care. She is efficient, caring, approachable and offers a loving setting where children can thrive. I would 100% reccomend her. She is not only my childminder but now a friend for life.
