From the minute I walked into Clare's house for a look round I knew my daughter was going to love it there! My daughter started with Clare at 4.5months old and has been there for 2 years now. She loves it! She loves Clare and her whole family it really is a home from home!
Clare is always amazing and the kids adore her, she plans activities that they enjoy, picks up on their interests and just makes learning fun.
Honestly couldn't recommend her enough! I tell everyone I know I scored the jackpot when we found Clare x

Where to start? Well from day one we where in love with the prospect of Clare caring for our daughter and we have not regretted it since. The care she shows the children in her care is second to none. She keeps you updated with all progress and any concerns. There's plenty of activities and fun things to keep the kids entertained and educated, theres so much room for the kids to have fun outside.Our daughter absolutely adores Clare and her family, she makes you feel like part of the family. Honestly can not recommend her enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We used Clare for around a year for my son, we had only ever used an official nursery setting so was very nervous about hiring a childminder. However, Clare and her family were absolutely amazing! Always very clear communication, accomodating to our childcare needs, understanding when usual life issues crop up.
Would highly recommend her! We still rave about how good she was and recommend her to friends and family. We still keep in touch now and if we ever need a childminder again she would be the first we would contact

Clare has been an absolute godsend, she has looked after both my children during the summer holidays and they have loved every minute.
She has amazing space for the children to play and her family are amazing with the kids too.
Clare always plans activities and trips out, my children really look forward to their days there and have only good things to say about her.
She is kind and loving and I feel completely at ease leaving my children with her.
I honestly couldn’t have hoped for a better person to look after my children, I would recommend Clare to everyone, she sends me updates and pictures throughout the day and is really flexible around our needs.

Claire stated looking after my 2 shortly after I lost my husband. She was amazing and the kids took to her very quickly. Flexible, accommodating, trustworthy. Lovely indoor and outdoor space for the kids. Would recommend.
