Clare has been looking after our daughter, Lily, since she was 13 months old and the care has been exceptional. We were really worried about Lily settling in and feeling secure and we were so pleased that in no time at all she seemed to be part of the group and so well liked by Clare and the other little ones in her care. Lily loves to go in the mornings and gets very excited when we drop her off and often wants to stay when we collect her!

Clare is very flexible and adaptable and has been able to offer us bespoke care to meet our needs which has been amazing. We use cloth nappies and Clare has been happy to use these in her care. She sends us out a menu each week which is very detailed and includes allergens. She has taken on board all of the children's likes and dislikes when making the menu so it feels very personal which is just amazing. Clare has also been accommodating if we don't want Lily to have certain things just yet. The menu always looks amazing and we often wish we were going for lunch too! Lily often has seconds and thirds of her dinner!

Lily goes on various outings such as to music and art classes weekly as well as to the local nature reserve and even Godstone Farm on occasion.

Clare's communication with us is great and we always feel like we know what is going on. She uses an online journal which documents various activities so we can see what Lily is getting up to which is just lovely!

We feel so lucky to have found Clare and so feel thrilled that Lily is treated as a member of their family. I would highly recommend Clare and her setting.
