We first approached Claire when I was looking to return to work part-time when Ruben was 10 months old, a prospect that I was nervous and not at all excited about. However, after speaking to Claire she put me completely at ease – and then after taking Ruben round to her house for a morning home visit I immediately saw the benefits that she would bring to Rubens childhood.

She is fantastic with children of all ages incorporating exciting and interesting activities into each day, ensuring that all children learn from the experience. The range of activties that she engages the children in is fantastic - from a visit to the local beach to rainy day spent indoors Claire encourages development, imagination, confidence and most of all fun for the children she looks after.

She offers helpful advice when asked and will always find a way of helping out if and when required. I should add that she is an excellent cook as well and always supplied fantastic nutrious lunch and evening meals (only for Ruben sadly!!)

We have recently moved overseas so no longer require her childminding services however I would not hesitate to reccommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly and personable child minder.

Above all Claire is someone I now consider a good friend and someone that I know I will stay in touch with.
