Clair looked after my little girl for 6 weeks while I was staying in Chertsey for work, and I can't rave enough about the care she received while there. A true home from home and the most amazing family environment. Clair's home is overflowing with love. Ella really benefitted from being around the older children in the afternoons after the school pick up - she's almost 2 years old and because of the pandemic there haven't been the normal opportunities to mix with kids of all ages, she's very much been with her peers. So this was a new experience for her and one she loved....I got the feeling she quickly had them wrapped around her little finger!

I really appreciated the photos and updates I would get about Ella's day - from what food she'd eaten, to how well she'd napped and photos of the activities she was enjoying doing. Perfect timing as it gave me loads of ideas for stocking fillers for Christmas! And it really helps with the mum-guilt to see your child laughing & smiling, and so obviously at ease in her surroundings.

As a mum-of-one who struggles to get clothes on her toddler most mornings, I'm in awe of Clair's calm, gentle ways.....I actually feel myself relaxing as the door opens, whether that's at drop-off or pick-up. I hope to find myself back in Chertsey again soon (permanently!) and we will be straight round to Clair's when we are.

Clair has been a 'Godsend' to my family. My son was born very premature and so getting a childminder was a very big challenge for me. When we met Clair my son bonded with her immediately and she has looked after him for 3years now. Clair has always welcomed us whenever we've tapped on her door unexpectedly. She is a mum to my boy and he is always happy to spend time at Clair's house. Clair is fantastic and I would keep her forever.
