We just wanted to let everyone know what a perfect choice Claire is to look after your little ones. We like any other parent spent weeks looking around nurseries and other childminders trying to find where our 11 month old daughter could go. This is one of the toughest things we have had to do especially for my wife who was upset about having to leave our daughter Amy when returning to work.

The choice was made easily for us after speaking with Claire on the phone and in person. She was the first person we spoke to who was more interested in Amy than it been about a business or how much money she could make. Claire's house is close to ours and is fantastic, plenty of space for the kids including a playroom and beautiful garden.

Claire is a natural with the kids and Amy is spoilt whilst there and enjoys lots of exciting trips including Trentham Gardens and various playgroups. Claire invited us to one of the playgroups and whilst other the other childminders sat around the edge talking to each other and not paying any attention, Claire was sat in the middle playing with the kids she was looking after and you could tell they loved it!!

Claire has been brilliant with us and gave so much support especially to my wife who was heartbroken to be going back to work. It's very clear Claire cares for not just the kids but also the parents and is flexible and always offering reassurance and sending photos. Amy comes home everyday and has clearly had a fantastic time. It's great meeting Claire's family, her husband is really nice and her two children dote on Amy and its just great to see.

I won't waffle on anymore as I could keep writing and everything is positive. I will leave you with thought

" If Carlsberg made childminders.........."
