Claire P's Reviews

Fantastic Childminder

Our daughter has been with Claire since the age of 1 up until starting school and she has loved every minute!!!
As soon as she started, Claire took the time to get to know her and learn about her likes/dislikes. When she started at Claire's she was very shy and very attached to parents and Claire has helped build her confidence so much and now she is so confident and outspoken :)
Claire takes the children on trips such as to see Santa each year and we get sent lots of lovely pictures and updates.
Claire is great at communicating with parents and updating Tapestry so we can see all the great things the children get up to. The environment is fantastic and the children always do lots of arts and crafts and come back with lovely things they've made.
Our daughter has made some really lovely friendships whilst at Claire's and she is very sad to be leaving but Claire really has helped in getting her school ready. Thanks to Claire's help I know she will do amazing when starting Reception.

Simply perfect

My daughter Lexi attended Claire's setting since she was 8 months old and she has just started reception!
Claire is absolutely amazing! Lexi had the best time at Claire's! She always went in with a smile and came out with a smile!
Claire offered a whole range of different fun and educational activities which I loved hearing about and seeing the photos on tapestry.
Claire takes the children out into the community too with visits to the park, library, zigzags, Christmas trips etc.
Lexi also has health conditions and Claire ensured she wouldn't miss out!
Claire always offers good homemade nutritional food and lex would always finish her plate !
Claire has a wealth of knowledge on child development and at one point I thought Lexi would never speak and me and Claire together came up a range of activities to help lexi and now she doesn't shut up!!!
Also Claire offered Lexi reward charts and prizes and certificates when she did well in any area of development!
Unfortunately due to covid and lexi being vulnerable we had to shield her and not only was Claire there for Lexi, she was also there for us as a family too and her constant communication with us made the world of difference to know we had her support! Nothing is too much for Claire and if there were any issues Claire dealt with them appropriately and timely!
If I had my way, Lexi would always stay with Claire because she was always so happy there and Lexi would moan when I picked her up because she didn't want to come away!!
Claire is such a caring, compassionate, friendly, helpful and amazing childminder.
In my humble and somewhat biased opinion Claire is the best child minder in world and to quote Mary Poppins 'simply perfect in every way!'

Amazing - Highly recommended

Claire has looked after my little boy since he was 6 months old all the way through to reception - him starting school. I can not recommend her enough. Claire has been amazing since day one, always has the time to listen ensuring she fully understands your child needs, likes/dislikes . She's caring and kind but also applies appropriate boundaries to help growth and development. She's always keeping them busy with many activities whether these be indoor or outdoor! Her home is perfectly set up and is a child's heaven! Claire actively updates tapestry with photos which allows you to see your child's development. Claire treats the children with love and kindness and has the patients of a saint! She supplies well balanced meals and snacks throughout the day encouraging routine and structure.
Thank you for everything you have done for my little man! Teaching him and guiding him through his early years allowing him to be confident now he's starting school!
