I highly recommend Claire, who has cared for my daughter since she was 10 months old. Throughout this time, she's provided a safe, nurturing and stimulating home from home environment with plenty of outdoor activities both at home and locally as well as further afield.
From the very beginning, Claire has shown genuine care, patience and demonstrable experience. My daughter has formed a wonderful bond with her and looks forward to attending. I have seen significant growth in my child's confidence, social skills and independence during her time in Claire's care.
I have complete confidence that my daughter is happy, well cared for, and encouraged to learn and develop. I would not hesitate to recommend Claire to any family looking for a caring, reliable, honest and dedicated childminder.
