Clair Wooding's Reviews

Outstanding childminder

Clair looked after my daughter from the age of 7 months to 3 and a half years old. Clair was my first experience of any sort of childcare, and both my daughter and I, were immediately comfortable within Clair's care. Clair provided a fantastic environment for my daughter to play, learn and socialise and she just loved going and would squeal with excitement everytime we drew up at Clair's house!
The detail of the daily diaries and books home, meant I always knew what my daughter had been up to and pictures showed how much fun she'd been having! Clair and her family treated my daughter as one of their own and we were so lucky to have found such a wonderful family to help bring up our child. I cannot recommend Clair enough.

5 Star Childcare

Clair has been looking after our son for 4 days a week since he was 9 months old. He is now coming up to 16 months. After 1 day O was so comfortable and happy in Clair’s care, and she made us feel at ease from day 1, as we were left in no doubt that she would put O’s needs first and spend the time with him that he needed. In fact, on a number of occasions he has even cried when it’s been time to come home as he’s having too good a time!

Clair has created a real home from home environment, with a dedicated play room, and there are plenty of different activities for children of different ages. She encourages O to learn and develop new skills, and shares his new experiences with us when we collect him. Clair will also discuss with us if there are ever any concerns about O, and is more than happy to spend time discussing his development.

There are a number of regular groups each week that Clair takes the children too, and this has really helped O’s social skills come on leaps and bounds. He used to be wary of new people but he now takes them in his stride and is happy to engage with them.

O has not only developed a fantastic relationship with Clair, he has also developed relationships with Clair’s family too. Including the family dog!

Clair writes in a daily diary of what O has done each day, which we enjoy reading together when we get home. He also has a scrap book which Clair puts photos into and writes a little bit about each photo. We also add pictures of O’s adventures at weekends and holidays too. These give us a real insight into O’s day which is fantastic for us.

We are in no doubt that Clair has played a huge part in how far O has come over the last few months, and we cannot thank her enough for the care and attention she continues to give O.

We truly cannot speak highly enough of Clair, and each day we are in no doubt that O is safe and very well cared for. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for childcare.
