What can I say, Claire is amazing! My now 17month old daughter has been going to Claire 3 days a week since March and she absolutely loves her and her family especially "Oliber" Claire really does treat Ivy as if she is her own, and I sometimes even struggle to get Ivy to leave at the end of the day as she loves being there so much. Claire has completed many activities with Ivy such as painting, baking, visiting farms, play centres, parks/splash pools. I have watched Ivy's confidence grow whilst spending time with Claire and her family and she is very happy to be around other people turning into a very sociable young girl. Unfortunately Ivy will be leaving Claire in December due to Baby No. 2 arriving in Jan but I hope to stay in contact with Claire & Family and use Her again in the future. I highly recommend her as a childminder.
