Claire's Reviews

Such An Amazing Childminder

I feel very lucky to have met Claire. She has been looking after my 4 year old daughter now for over 3 years and has been an amazing support to our family.

Claire offers a wonderful home away from home for my daughter. A home that is very welcoming, safe, kind and fun. She has been key in developing my daughter in all areas of her early years education and in spotting where my daughter was struggling. Claire adapts to my daughters needs, and helps to bring out the best in her. Activities are always fun and engaging and her daily updates are such a great way for me to see just how well my daughter is doing, with photos and descriptions of activities that have been done that day. It helps me to feel part of my daughter’s day, which is lovely.

I would absolutely recommend Claire as a childminder. My daughter is always excited to see her and they have a lovely bond. We will be very sad to say goodbye when my daughter starts school out of Claire’s catchment in September. These last few years have been so lovely to watch my daughter grow and develop in Claire’s setting and I can’t thank her enough for all she has done to support my daughter and welcome her into her home.

Kind, reliable, trustworthy and fun!

I feel very fortunate to have Claire as the childminder to my 18 month old son and I’m lucky to be able to go to work feeling completely assured he is in incredibly safe hands and in a happy environment.

I hired Claire 7months ago as she had the most fantastic reputation in our area and I can now absolutely see why. She is incredibly reliable which is hugely important to me and she has created a wonderful home from home environment with so many exciting toys and activities to encourage learning.

I know my son has lots of fun in a safe environment and Claire’s years of experience are apparent through my sons developmental progress in the last 6 months. It brings me so much joy seeing the things he has learnt after a day with Claire.

She gives excellent daily updates giving myself and my husband an insight into our boy’s day. She is very creative with her themed sessions and it’s lovely to see photos from their outings.

I’m also thrilled with the variety of food and cuisines she serves for his meals.

I trust Claire completely which I would never take for granted and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Excellent Childminder

My son has been being looked after by Claire for the last 5 months. He is only 2 but due to sad family circumstances I needed to go back to work and my little boy had to go to 3 different childcare providers,Claire being one of them. I was so concerned but Claire was amazing..he settled in right from the start and absoloutely loves his days with her. They do many different activities together,and when the weather is good they are always out looking for new parks and things to do! Claire's family home is lovely and inviting. She has an app she uses and she records everything she does with your child on this,so you can always see what your child has done out her house and know that they are happy. I would most definitely recommend Claire. She is lovely.

A wonderful childminder

My one year old daughter has been with Claire for about 2 months now and she is thriving.

Every day she spends with Claire I get a detailed report about the amazing activities she has been doing along with detailed information about her day - including her nap times and a list of the wonderful foods she has eaten (cooked by Claire!).

Through the app Claire uses I am able to see videos and pictures of the great things Claire has been doing with her and most importantly I feel reassured that she is having a good time, making my separation away from her easier.

Claire offers a lovely home setting where my daughter feels very comfortable and relaxed. She participates in many inside activities including singing, dancing, playing with different textures and an array of role play equipment and toys. She also has a great outside area that my daughter loves to explore, playing with water, sand, paints and other materials.

Until Claire, my daughter had not been around many young children but I feel she has fitted right in, she is becoming a confident toddler with her personality really starting to show and I can't thank Claire enough for how much support she has given my daughter (and myself) in my transition back to work.

I would highly recommend Claire and I'm excited to see my daughter develop over the next few years with her.
