We have been using Clair for the last year (and we knew instantly that she was the perfect fit for our son) after a very rocky year in a nursery for my little one. Clair made my child feel welcome every day and he settled instantly with ease! He has come so far since starting, his confidence has grown, he is much more interactive with other children and adults, and he enjoys telling us all about his days out with Clair and his friends!
Clair has always been very supportive of our son, and always has lots of enriching activities for them to do, including days out! It has even become a daily ask of .am I going to Clair's house today?' we really couldn't have asked for more, as a family we are really grateful for how she has cared for him and helped aid his development.
We will miss Clair so much when she is no longer part of our weekly routine, she really is the best childminder you could ask for!

My daughter has been looked after by Clair for 9 years. The level of care that she has provided has been outstanding and I trust her implicitly.
During the early years, Clair really helped with Olivia's learning and development and that gave her a great foundation for getting ready for school. She has always been great at keeping her entertained, lots of arts and crafts and plenty of fresh air play outside.
Clair is extremely reliable and has never let me down, which has enabled me to work full time with no childcare stress or worries since Olivia was 7 months old.
Olivia has grown up to be a lovely well balanced child and Clair has played a huge part in that.
Olivia has been very happy over the years and when the time comes for her to go to senior school, we will miss Clair like part of the family.

Clair has been looking after my daughter since 2019, and my son also started with her in 2022. My daughter is naturally shy, so I was very anxious to leave her at just 10 months. I shouldn’t have worried because Clair took her in as one of her own. My daughter settled in really quickly and became a completely different child – more confident and happy. Clair is patient and kind and makes me feel 100% secure in leaving both of my children all day while I go to work. They are always doing lots of educational and creative activities, going to parks, playgrounds, soft play. Clair’s own children are so polite and well spoken and that was important to me too. They’re a very good influence!
Clair, her husband, and her children are essentially second family at this point. My daughter and son love them and run in smiling every morning. I can’t imagine life without Clair now! Anyone would be lucky to have her as their childminder. 😊

Clair has been looking after our daughter for the last 3 years. We met Clair during the pandemic when I was due to return to work. Our daughter had spent from 6months old with just us during lockdown and was not used to other adults. I was anxious as to how we were going to find a childminder during a time when we couldn’t go into other peoples houses!! We needn’t have worried as Clair quickly put us at ease. She was so friendly and warm and answered lots of questions. Our daughter started with Clair at 9 months old and is now 3.5. She loves Clair, as does our son who attends Clair’s setting after school one day a week. She takes wonderful care of the children she looks after and goes above and beyond in many ways. Our children talk about her, along with her husband and children, with fondness and they always enjoy the activities Clair has on offer. She is always very flexible and puts herself out to help, even at short notice! I would highly recommend Clair as a childminder, if you’re lucky enough to find that she has a space, grab it quickly because your child will be in great hands.

I've been using Clair for over 2 years. She provides great care for both my boys. Plenty of educational and creative activities. Easily adapts to different children's personalities. My 3 year who now goes full time to nursery still asks and gets excited when he knows he's going to Clairs in the holidays.
