My daughter, who has just turned 2, has been with Clare for 3 days a week for the past 6 months. My husband & I are delighted with the progress Evie has made in this time and the the caring, secure environment Clare provides.

Clare is a warm, caring and structured childminder who follows the EYFS framework. She provides us with regular updates on how Evie is doing, and captures Evie's progress with her learning journey brilliantly. As a result of Clare's dedication, Evie has a great vocabulary and is already putting sentences together.

I would describe the facilities Clare has at her house for children almost as close to a day nursery. There is a large playroom full of toys, a large garden with an dedicated play area as well a sheltered outside area, great for messy play when the weather isn't great. There is also a nursery where the children have their nap - something I was a bit concerned about at first but need not have worried, Evie loves the routine. Clare regularly takes the children out to the park and to feed the ducks, something which Evie really enjoys.

Clare's family really do love the children as much as she does.

In summary, if you are looking for a loving, caring but structured childminder with the facilities of a small day nursery, look no further!
