My Summary
Wild & Three 🌿
About Me
ABOUT ME
I am a qualified nursery nurse with more than 25 years’ experience caring for children and over 20 years’ experience as a registered childminder.
My hard work and dedication to childminding resulted in three consecutive Outstanding inspection judgements over a 16-year period. At my most recent inspection, under the revised inspection framework, my setting was judged Good.
I provide calm, safe, nurturing and high-quality home-based childcare for children under four. I work Monday to Thursday, from 7:45am until 5:00pm, and do not provide before- or after-school care or holiday care for school-aged children over four.
I live in a semi-detached family home with a dedicated, well-equipped playroom that opens directly onto a small, secure garden for outdoor play and exploration.
I have two small, crate-trained dogs who are kept separately from the children. Any interaction is carefully managed and always closely supervised.
My Experience
Here’s a polished version that keeps your warmth and experience but reads more confidently and professionally:

EXPERIENCE AND MY SETTING
I have more than 25 years’ experience working with children of different ages. Before becoming a registered childminder, I worked as a nanny, a childminder’s assistant and within private day nurseries. I am also a qualified nursery nurse and regularly complete training relating to safeguarding, child development, health, nutrition and early-years practice.
My setting offers a welcoming, friendly and nurturing environment where children can feel safe, settled and valued. I keep my group intentionally small so that every child receives plenty of individual attention, encouragement and support.
We regularly explore our local community and enjoy parks, playgroups, classes and outdoor adventures. At home, children have opportunities to enjoy:
* Art and creative activities
* Construction and open-ended play
* Books, stories, singing and music
* Baking and simple food preparation
* Outdoor and physical play
* Mindfulness and age-appropriate yoga
* Imaginative and child-led play
Patience, compassion, kindness and warmth are at the heart of my practice. I support each child as an individual, helping them develop confidence, independence, emotional security and a strong sense of belonging.
Sustainability is also important within my setting. We recycle and reduce unnecessary waste, and I use biodegradable nappies, wipes and nappy sacks wherever possible.
I am conscious of the amount of ultra-processed food in children’s diets. Meals and snacks are therefore prepared using fresh, simple and minimally processed ingredients as much as possible. Children are offered a varied range of foods in recognisable forms from an early age, helping them become familiar with different tastes and textures.

My son is (high functioning) autistic and he has struggled to settle in nursery and in another childminder setting. Since moving him to Clair’s my son is now finally settled, so much so he wants to stay when we pick him up! Clair has worked wonders and it’s such a relief to know he is happy. I know my son is settled because of her approach, she has got to know him very well and has adapted to meet his needs. She is also gentle and kind. She is also helping to bring on some of his independence skills around dressing etc and provides fun activities for the children. We cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Clair. She has also done some home babysitting for us too and she was great; even bringing activities for the children with her. The children were all settled with her and happy.
