I would really recommend Claire to any parent, as a fantastic childminder. She provides a lovely home setting with plenty of age-appropriate toys, a good level of stimulating activities, and has provided an excellent level of care to my 2 year old daughter.

Claire keeps a daily record for each child, giving details of places visited, food eaten and activities undertaken. She provides nutritious food for the children at no extra cost and takes the children on exciting activities every day - including the local soft play centres, library, toddler groups and the local parks and garden centre, which my daughter absolutely loves! She also encourages the children in arts and crafts -my little one is always bringing home paintings and items made during her time at Claire's.

Claire has been great in accommodating my work pattern - which can involve additional hours when I have been working in London, giving the flexibility I sometimes have needed.

I really cannot recommend Claire highly enough.
