My daughter was just 6 months old when she started with claire. Due to her being quite young it was really important that she was with someone who could provide the attention she needs at such a young age whilst being with other children which is why I felt claire was the perfect fit. Her set up is very well organised and her experience with children shines. My daughter has fit in well and is really enjoying her time with claire. I would 100% recommend claire to anyone looking for childcare, even with younger children. She provides a safe, happy and supportive space for both children’s and parents.

Claire and her assistant Hayley both look after my 3 year old who can be quite difficult with new people. I feel very lucky to have met them both as my daughter is looked after like family. The setting is very large and clean with a big garden. Children are well looked after with outdoor visits too. The children are well fed and all seem happy. It's a secure and loving environment and would highly recommend the very high quality childcare provided.

Claire looks after my grandson 5 days a week. He has been going to Claires for the past 12 months and he loves it and has learnt so much. He's had days out, trips to the zoo, and playgroups.
Claire is a lovely down to earth person who provides a safe place for the children to play, learn and grow. She also provides good home cooked food, much to my grandsons delight. All in all my grandson is happy at Claires which makes me happy to let him go there. Thank you Claire x

My boys feel very safe at Claire's. She will always speak honestly with you about anything that is going on and what has happened. The boys have fun, are given healthy food and enjoy going. She's flexible to support working parents. My boys were scared of dogs and the beautiful Teddy (dog) has helped their confidence but Claire doesn't push them to be with Teddy if they don't want to.
Claire and Hayley do lots with the children, playing, groups, going out etc. Lots of lovely photos to get you through the day too. Thanks for caring for my boys.
Highly recommended.

I have sent all 3 of my children to Claire when I returned to work. My eldest is 4 (she stopped as live outside of area) which leave my two you you great with Claire. She is nothing but supportive and flexible, with my kids working as a nurse and working long days, and on different shifts.
Claire has been amazing with my children's development getting them ready for school, my 3 thrived under Claire's care. She helped with development and keeping me in the loop of day to day activities. My children love going and going she takes them out various places.
My husband is also deaf and she has helped and learned sign language to help with communication, not only for my husband but with the development of our children encourages them to sign and grow and can continue learning the skill to communicate with there dad.
I would deffinatly recommend Claire to anyone. I would literally be lost without her!
