Clair is a wonderful child minder. She has been caring for my daughter for 3 days a week since she was 12 months old. Clair offers a warm and welcoming home from home environment for the children and my little one loves her time there, happily bounding in each morning, excited for her day.
The days are mixed between structured activities like arts and crafts , signing and music and outside play and opportunities for free play. My daughter was blossomed in Clair's care and I have total confidence that Clair knows her well and what makes her tick. Clair offers a nurturing environment that has enable my little girl to grow in confidence both individually and with the other children. We have personal daily communication/ about how the day has been. In additional Clair offers regular updates about what is planned for the month ahead. Clair has different themes for each month and the children are offered lots of variety and exploration activities around the theme,.
Clair is very knowledgeable about child development and follows EYFS within the setting encouraging each child to make steps forwards in their emotional and social development.
I was anxious when returning to work and Clair was so empathic and supportive, offering gradual transitions, and so when the time came we were all ready for the change, and I can honestly say I have never looked back.

Clair has looked after my daughter since 11 months of age and I couldn't have found a more caring and happy environment for her to be in.
From story times, outdoor play, home cooked dinners, trips to see ponies. She sees so much, does so much (including art and craft that must make such a mess!) and loves going to her 'school' every time. I get personal feedback in a diary every day, and really feel Clair knows my daughter, her personality and what makes her tick.
I couldn't be happier with everything Clair has done over the last 2 years, and would recommend her without hesitation.

My Child has been with Clair since my return to work in September 2015 he initially did two days and now attends three days. Clair is a wonderful childminder and everyday is structured. I receive a full account of activities my son has taken part in and full break down of food eaten and nappies changed. Clair is also always on hand to give advice and has been wonderful in helping my little one potty train implementing reward charts and giving advice even outside of working hours. My son adores Clair and loves the routine he has with her. As a mum you always want the best for your Child/Children any reservations I had about a childminder vs nursery were quickly dispersed. Clair is a wonderful knowledgeable childminder and always puts the children first I can not recommend her enough!

My daughter has been going to Clair's twice a week since I returned to work in March. What I particularly liked was the home form home atmosphere that Clair creates.Clair is friendly, professional and she knows just how to respond to my daughters needs. Francesca always does a range of activities and has come on leaps and bounds in her development. Clair is very flexible and will always try and accommodate if we need to leave Francesca longer or if she needs to go on another day. I would highly recommend Clair's Childminding service

Clair is absolutely incredible, my Little boy started to go to Clair when he was 15months old as an anxious mum returning to work Clair made that transition for me as easy as possible. It's a real home from home and my little boy has come on leaps and bounds since going. He receives home cooked meals and takes part in various activities!!! Clair is a real life Mary Poppins and I would recommend her to anyone. I was initially apprehensive about sending him to a childminder but as soon as I met Clair and went round I knew it was the place for him!. I can't write enough positive things!

Clair made my 7 year old daughter, who had never been in childcare before, extremely welcome and comfortable. The atmosphere in the house is warm and friendly and Clair is very approachable. I can't highly recommend her enough, my daughter had loads of fun with lots of activities to choose from. I do not have to worry at all when she is in Clair's care, I know she is safe, well looked after and is having more fun than she would have been having at home.

Clair is a fantastic childminder and an absolute god send when it comes to changing work patterns etc.
My 6 year old son goes to Clair before and after school, since transferring to the local promary school when we moved house. Clair (and her family) have helped my son's change of schools be as seemless as possible and I am very grateful for that.
He loves the mix of different age groups and all the children are happy playing with the younger and older children, as well as helping Clair in the kitchen (she can bake much better than me!!).
Clair provides a very homely atmosphere, and I know any of the children would go to her if they had any problems, just the same as they would if they were coming straight home after school.

Clair has been looking after my son for 12 months now and I am extremely pleased with the service Clair provides. In an ideal world I would like to be with my son 24/7, but like most parents I have to work.
I feel very relaxed when my son is at Clair's because it is like a second home, the atmosphere is very relaxed, the food is great (I am very jealous when I hear what they have for lunch and tea) and ultimately I trust Clair with the most precious person in my life!
My son is thriving under Clair's care and he just loves the interaction with the other children that are there. Clair's very relaxed and friendly nature ensures a very nurturing environment, nothing is too much trouble!
I can not recommend Clair highly enough!

Clair offers a fantastic care setting for my three children, 10,8, and 4. Clair is so flexible, that the changing timetable and demands of whatever work, school or life throws at us are never an issue. She is extremely warm and caring, whilst at the same time being completely professional. I get a full account of what learning opportunities my children have had, what food they have eaten ( no need for quantities - the answer is always that they've cleaned the plates!) and what development milestones my little one has reached.
In short, Clair is everything that I want in a Childminder and I cannot recommend her as a childcare provider enough.

Clair provides an excellent level of childminding for our 16 month old daughter (who has been with Clair since 8 months old). Clair does lots of lovely activities with her such as painting, walks to the park and water/ sand play, as well as helping her form good relationships with some of the other children there. She provides a nutritious and varied diet from Clair in the form of breakfast, lunch, daytime snacks and dinner. I have noticed that since she has been with Clair she is much more willing to try new foods! Clair provides excellent value for money and a safe, stimulating and happy environment for our daughter while we are at work.
Can't recommend Clair enough!
