Clare has been great in supporting my 4 year-old daughter’s transition from nursery to Dane Bank Primary. She’s been reliable and flexible when needed, and my daughter has settled in really well. She’s made new friends easily within Clare’s child minding household , and we’re very happy to recommend Clare as a trustworthy and caring childminder.

We feel so lucky to have Clare and Hannah care for our son, both their kind and caring nature shines through. He thrives in the fun and supportive environment and truly loves going. Fabulous communication, gorgeous food that is made with lots of love and amazing crafts and activities for the children. We couldn’t ask for anything more, highly recommend!!

We count ourselves very lucky to have had Clare and Hannah doing everything they do with our daughter from 10 months old. Their energy and care really shines through in the way they interact with her and how they communicate the updates.
Everything from the homemade dinners to the structures of the day are focused on enriching the kids. They create a creative and safe environment that allows our daughter to feel comfortable to explore and learn. They have themed days (eg. Remembrance Day and Children In Need) which keeps things fresh for the kids and allows them to learn about culture.
We absolutely recommend speaking with Clare and Hannah about places!

Clare is by far the best childminder around. My little one has been with Clare for over a year and his confidence, development and speech has blown my mind. She is so patient and caring and treats the kids like family. The little ones are always out and about, doing sensory activities, themed arts and crafts, playgroup, parks and more. The lunches and snacks Clare provides are healthy, homemade and well balanced. Clare communicates thoroughly with the parents throughout the day and at the end of every day we get a breakdown of naps, meals, activities and even nappy changes. As a working mum I feel confident and at peace leaving my little one with her every day knowing he is safe and loved there.

My son started with Claire this September at 13 months old, and in just a couple of months, we’ve seen incredible progress in his development. He absolutely loves going and gets so excited every time we drop him off!
Claire and Hannah are truly amazing — they genuinely care for the children they look after. We often see them at our local playgroup on my days off, and even when they’re not “on duty,” they always make time to play with and engage with my son. That says so much about how much they care.
I work in safeguarding, so I can sometimes have trust issues when it comes to childcare — but I have complete trust in Claire and Hannah. They make both my son and me feel so comfortable and confident in their care.
Communication is excellent, and we’re always kept up to date about how his day has gone. We’ve never had a single issue.
I’m so grateful to have found Claire and couldn’t wish for better care. I hope my son is luckily enough to stay with her right up until he starts school.

When we first relocated in 2023, everything felt so new and overwhelming, but finding Clare was truly a blessing. From the beginning, she welcomed our daughter with such warmth and kindness, helping her settle in and feel completely comfortable in a new environment. It made our transition so much easier knowing our girl was in caring and capable hands. Overtime, Clare has become such an important part of our daughter's life. She provides a safe, loving and nurturing space where children can grow, learn and be themselves. Shalom always looks forward to spending time there , and it's heartwarming to see how happy and confident she has become under her care

Our daughter started with Clare age 9 after being with a family friend since she was 14 months old, so the change felt like a big step for us. From day one, Clare has been absolutely wonderful — kind, welcoming, and so easy to talk to. Our daughter settled in straight away and absolutely loves being with her, always asking to be left there later and later in the evening. She always comments on how beautiful Clare’s home is and how nice Clare is. Clare has such a natural way with children of all ages, and her warmth and approachability shine through in everything she does. We honestly can’t thank her enough for making the transition so smooth — it feels like our daughter has been with her forever. We would 100% recommend Clare to anyone looking for a truly caring and nurturing childminder.
