Below are the latest reviews for Claires. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Our daughter has been with Claire and her assistant three to four days a week for a year now, and she loves it. Every day she runs to the door as soon as we mention that she's going because she's so excited to go. Claire often takes the children on fun outings and make sure they spend lots of time outside, especially in the summer. Communication with parents is also great. I highly recommend Claire's playcare!
