I am so pleased we found Claire when looking for child care for our one year old daughter almost two years ago. I had chosen a nursery for her but became concerned over the institutional environment and lack of opportunity for our daughter to build a strong attachment with one person. Our daughter has thrived in Claire's care. I've noticed the speech and language of children in Claire's care develops particularly well. Not only is Claire kind, compassionate and fun she sets firm boundaries with empathy creating a perfect environment for children to learn and be happy.

Claire gives the children lots of different opportunities to interact with others such as toddler groups, day trips, the park and lots of outdoor time as well as quiet activities at home such as crafts and cooking. I think she has a really good balance.

Our daughter loves going to Claire's and feels happy and secure there which I think are the best foundations for children to thrive and develop.

I should also add that we live in Hertford and its quicker for us to drive to where Claire lives in WGC than to where some of the child minders live in Hertford so don't rule Claire out if you live in Hertford!
