Claire has been my childminder for over 2 years and I am so glad that I found her. As soon as I met Claire and went to her house I knew that I wanted her to look after my son. Claire is such a genuine person with excellent family values. Claire can be very flexible which is a god send. As you know being a parent and working, the unexpected can happen and without Claire I wouldn't be able to function as a working Mum. Nobody could ask for a better childminder. My son absolutely loves Claire and enjoys the time with her family. Even my eldest asks to go there.

My daughter (Mila) has been going to Claire since she was 9 months old she is now 2 and a half and it really is a home from home for her. I always feel safe in the knowledge that she is completely happy when I drop her off in the morning. She is also always keen to tell me about the variety of activities she has done that day such as craft, play group and going to the cafe. Mila is always offered a variety of foods which I think has contributed to the fact that she is willing to try lots of different fruits and vegetables. This has been a huge help. It is a warm, welcoming environment I am so pleased that we found such an accommodating and caring childminder.

My son loves going to Claire after school, he is happy and settled and has come on loads with his social development since he's been with her.
Claire is calm, patient, positive and caring. My son always says how much he loves her :)

Our daughter age two has been with Claire for a number of months and has thoroughly enjoyed being in her care. I have no problem in recommending her to anyone, she's always been very accommodating and created a lovely environment for the children. Francesca's development has come on greatly since going and we are only too sad to be leaving due to moving away. Claire creates a structured fun routine that's educational and some days my little girl asks to go and see Claire. She's been an invaluable asset to our family and just gutted we can take her with us. Thank you so much x

When looking for someone you don't know to look after your child it is a very daunting prospect and I was fortunate enough to find Claire on my first attempt. I felt very reassured by her calm and friendly approach and could see that she is very caring for the children she looks after. I couldn't be happier with the care my now 18 month old receives while with Claire and would recommend her to anyone looking for a child minder in the area. She's approachable, relaxed and well organized. My son loves going there and gets excited as soon as he sees her at the door - sometimes even running away from me when I go to pick him up!! Could I ask for anything more in a child minder? No, she's brilliant!

I found Claire on the childcare website and after visiting a number of other child care providers I knew straight away that Claire was the right choice for me! Rhoslyn started with Claire at 1 year, and she is now 19 months and has absolutely loved her time there from day one. From my point of view, it has been so valuable to know that Rhos was so happy from the start and Claire helped put me at ease from the very beginning too - sending me updates and photos of Rhos during the day. I trust Claire 100% and her whole family have made Rhos feel so welcome. Rhos always comes back with examples of the activities she has done during the day (arts and crafts) and more often than not she doesn't want to leave and actually waves me away in the morning! This is the best I could hope for though as the most important thing is that she is happy and I couldn't ask for a more nurturing environment. On top of all this Claire takes great care in helping Rhos develop in key areas and always updates me about new words or skills so that I don't feel that I'm missing out, and she is incredibly flexible so that I never have to worry if I'm running late or need a slightly earlier start. All in all I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

My 2 year old has been going to Claire's since September and absolutely loves it! It really is a home from home and my little one runs straight in in the mornings without giving me a second glance. She is entertained with many activities such as arts and crafts, trips to the park and accesses local playgroups. Claire is very flexible with the hours she has my daughter and her family are always welcoming. Nutritionally balanced meals are provided and individual preferences are also catered for. Daily diaries evidence the educational aspects of activities that my daughter participates in and I can already see her an increase in her confidence levels, I'm already dreading the day that my daughter starts school and I have to explain to her that she won't go to Claire's anymore!!
