Clair has been looking after our daughter since she was 9 months old. She is now 15 months old and absolutely thriving thanks to Clair - her confidence, language and social development is incredible and it is all thanks to Clair and the services she provides.
What I love about Clair is she keeps us updated throughout the day, sending pictures and videos of our little one. I love the warm, family setting that she has created and makes the little ones feel as if they are part of her family when they are there. I’m also really grateful for how many outings she takes the children out on everyday and all the activities they are part of. This was such a positive for us as it’s important that our daughter gets to go out and explore different environments which Clair provides for. This includes outings to the farm, playgrounds and playgroups which involve different activities (reading, music, dancing etc) . Additionally, Clair is super flexible when we need to put our daughter in for additional hours, sometimes last minute which really helps us especially with a newborn at home.
Clair is really attentive to every need of the individual child. For example, our daughter has really sensitive sleep needs which I was nervous about when she first started. However Clair provided reassurance and helped calm me that this wouldn’t be a problem to implement. She was right - within 3 settling in sessions, our daughter was asleep within minutes, calm and was having good quality sleep with Clair which was such a relief for me!
I honestly couldn’t be more positive about Clair. Our daughter loves her so much and always gets excited when she leaves the house to go to Clair’s. As an anxious first time mum, Clair has made me feel so much at ease and has meant that I feel confident and secure about our second daughter joining her in Jan. We’re so so lucky to have Clair and count our blessings every day that we found someone so wonderful who cares about our daughter like we do! Clair is so knowledgable in developmental needs, she is so kind and thoughtful and is such a fantastic person. She truly gives everything to the little ones and we’re so appreciative.
We love you Clair! Xx

We have had a fantastic experience with Clair who has looked after our daughter from the age of 6 months. She is now 15 months and really seems to enjoy her days at childcare!
Clair clearly cares deeply about the children she looks after, she communicates well with us, and has been a reassuring and helpful presence throughout. We love hearing about the variety of activities they have been up to and Clair is very engaged in the children’s learning and development, which we get regular updates on. Our daughter is extremely happy with Clair and we are very grateful we’ve found such a friendly and trustworthy person to look after her.

We have been using Clair for the last year (and we knew instantly that she was the perfect fit for our son) after a very rocky year in a nursery for my little one. Clair made my child feel welcome every day and he settled instantly with ease! He has come so far since starting, his confidence has grown, he is much more interactive with other children and adults, and he enjoys telling us all about his days out with Clair and his friends!
Clair has always been very supportive of our son, and always has lots of enriching activities for them to do, including days out! It has even become a daily ask of .am I going to Clair's house today?' we really couldn't have asked for more, as a family we are really grateful for how she has cared for him and helped aid his development.
We will miss Clair so much when she is no longer part of our weekly routine, she really is the best childminder you could ask for!
