Claire has looked after my babies while my husband has been away working from June to July. They’re 6 weeks old and I knew, once my husband was away, I would find it difficult managing the home, caring for my babies and looking after 2 dogs.

Claire is an outstanding childminder, I was able to drop my babies off and have a few hours to myself. I didn’t think I needed the few hours, but it has helped me greatly. Claire on many occasions over the time we had her has taken the dogs for long walks and even helped us with housework which has been a god send.

I was worried that my husband was leaving and I would really struggle, but I found Claire and I do really hope she will be available to help us out again!!
