Our son has been with Claire for 10 months now. He is so happy there, always arriving with a big smile on his face in the morning! It's clear that Claire and her team provide a really caring and happy environment, tending to the children's individual needs. From the daily updates and photos we can see that Robin and the other children have a lot of fun, with a variety of activities in the home and also on trips out to local parks, soft play, Ashton Court etc. There is a lovely garden divided into separate play areas for different activities, and Robin is always happy to see the rabbit!
As well as all the fun, Robin has developed so much since starting there. He is always coming home with new words and phrases, and has grown in confidence massively.
Claire maintains good communication with parents via WhatsApp for admin updates etc and an app for daily updates. She is always quick to respond to queries and her and the team are always happy to chat about any questions at the end of the day, as well as being flexible with timings if needed.
We're very happy we chose Beautiful Beginnings and are very grateful for the wonderful service they provide!

My son has been with Claire for 6 months now and we have been so pleased with the care he receives. He’s grown in confidence so much and it’s so heartwarming to see him reaching out for them in the morning at drop off. Even with the larger numbers than the average childminder setting, it still feels very intimate and personal and I love that my son gets to interact with more children.

Since being looked after by claire by daughter has gone from being quiet and anxious to very confident and outgoing . She absolutely loves going to claire and tells me how much fun it is and about all her friends there. She especially loves the trips to the softplay etc. Claire also provides daily updates on what they have done throughout the day which is excellent.

We couldn’t have been happier with the care our then two year old daughter received from Claire. She really enjoyed her days with Claire and the range of activities they did was fantastic. She’s a lovely lady, and I would definitely highly recommend her.

We used Claire for over a year with our then 2year old. He was so happy at Claire where he tried new food, experience making things and growing flowers and veg.
We completely put out trust in Claire and she really delivered.
We also found Claire to be really flexible when we needed extra hours or changes in schedule.
Would reccomend 110%

My daughter attended the setting for nearly 2 years. Claire provided a very happy environment with a variation of play indoor and out. Growing veg and feeding the rabbits was a personal favourite of our daughters. Claire provided amazing balanced meals and updates that provided insight into our daughter’s progression and growth. I would highly recommend Claire and her setting to those who are looking for childcare, our daughter was incredibly happy there and formed a fantastic relationship with Claire herself and the other children.

My son has had 7 happy months in Claire’s childminding setting. He has been nurtured and encouraged to explore creativity through play. He has been closely supported in his potty training and encouraged to try new foods and learn to play well with others.
As a former teacher, Claire diligently follows the early years educational curriculum and has actively helped her charges reach important milestones and learn lots of new skills
