Our daughter started at Claudine’s in August 2022, it can be quite daunting handing your child over but Claudine made the whole experience run smoothly by helping her settle in, offering additional support, and being communicative.
Our daughter loves going to Claudine’s and is always in a happy mood when we collect her, which is a testament to the work her and her team do! They always seem to have a blast celebrating birthdays, holidays, going out, and doing crafts.
We are so happy that we found such a great setting for our daughter.

Our son started at Claudine's when he was ten months old and stayed for nearly two years. He had an amazing time with Claudine and her lovely staff. His face lit up to see them all every morning at drop off, and Claudine got the kids out and about seeing the local area at least twice a week, which I was so impressed by. She puts a huge effort into birthdays and cultural celebrations and some of the art work he came home with is still on our walls at home today. Thank you Claudine for every you did -- we really appreciate it.

Our daughter started when she was 10 months old and she settled in well, bonded with the childminders and other children and enjoyed her time at Claudine's. She was excited to be dropped off every morning. We loved that it's set up as a small nursery, children enjoy various activities and events, celebrating birthdays and being taken outside for various outings like rhyme time at the library, park and soft play.
Claudine provides flexibility and offered additional days at short notice which was much appreciated and allowed for me to juggle work commitments more easily.

Our little boy has been going to Claudine for the last two years and since he was one. As a first time mum, finding the right place for our boy was stressful. Being someone always in favour of a nursery, my plans went up in the air once I was told that there was no place in our nursery of choice. And that was the best thing that happened to us as we found Claudine! What she and her staff offer at her setting is nothing short of excellent - from the loving support given to each child to develop social and motor skills, to activities and celebrations she organizes and delivers over and over again, to the lovely birthday parties every child gets to enjoy, Claudine goes above and beyond to make sure that the children get a well rounded experience and are prepared for the next stages of their development.
We could not recommend her enough!

We are so happy we found Claudine's Childcare Services.
Our daughter started when she was 18months and is now 3.
Claudine provides a warm environment, presented and run like a small nursery. The children have clear routines, take part in a range of activities and build lovely relationships with eachother and staff.
Our daughter's confidence has improved significantly since she started, she loves going and happily tells us about her day.
Claudine goes above and beyond; she makes the children feel special on their birthdays, puts on events on, takes them on trips.
We are moving away and are so sad to leave Claudine, we feel she has set up our daughter so well for moving to a nursery, and can only hope we can find a childminders like her for our new baby.

We are tremendously grateful to Claudine and her team. She is so professional and able to understand each kid's needs. We felt her setting is like a small nursery. We believe that her setting is an excellent transition to big nurseries and schools. Actually, we were impressed by how fast our son adapted because she was constantly preparing him for that.
She uses pedagogical methodologies to improve the motor and soft skills of the kids, preparing them for the next stages of learning. Additionally, the genuine love that Claudine and her team showed for our son helped him to build confidence and independence. Our son still asks for her.
Thank you so much, Claudine, you are the best!!

I can’t begin to explain how wonderful Claudine’s childcare services really is. Our daughter attended for a year and a half and we only left because we moved away. She loved it, and still talks about Claudine and her staff today. It really is home away from home for them.
The staff, the setting and the food is incredible. Our little one learnt so much and developed so well during her time there, whilst always having so much fun. She clearly had the space to express herself and was encouraged to learn new things, grow confidence and build lovely relationships with the other children and the staff.
She started at 11 months old and being a ‘Covid’ baby was not used to anyone other than me and her dad, but with the love and compassion shown and Claudine’s she quickly grew to love the place and the smile on her face as we dropped her off showed us this. And we as parents always knew she was well cared for and loved whilst at the setting which we will forever be grateful for. Amazing place, we just wish we were still close enough for her and her sister to attend. Thank you

Ivy our first born spent 18 months with Claudine until we moved out of the area.
We loved Claudines childcare services and really miss it now we have moved.
The place is a home away from home, and we know that Ivy is being looked after.
The setting is very clean and well organised. Staff are lovely and Ivy always look forward to spending day and Claudines, and always has a smile on her face when she comes home.
One of our worries using a child minder instead of nursery was that she would have limited interaction with other children, however there are a number of children who attend Claudines, so that was never an issue. Ivy during her time there has built up some good relationships with other children there who she misses now.
Ivy has developed well during her time at Claudines, gaining lots of confidence with staff and other children. Claudine always kept us uptodate on how Ivy was getting on during the day.
We also miss the good food that her staff use to cook :-) - compared to what Ivy gets now at her new nursery.
Claudlines place is the best, and I would recommend her 100%.
I only wish we still lived closer

Claudine’s setting has been a wonderful place for our son for the last couple of years. He loves it there and comes home chatting about his friends and the staff. The rooms and facilities are so stimulating and most days they seem to be doing some amazing activity, making, cooking, messy play, visiting the park, even a visit to the fire station! We love getting update photos during the day and are always taken by surprise when our son makes leaps forward in his learning. Claudine and her team are also supportive and proactive at dealing with behaviour. We are so glad we found her!

Claudine took care of our son for almost 2 years and we cannot say thank you enough for all that she and her team helped us thru all this time. As new parents we were asking us and wondering how to find the right person to leave our son with and we had no doubt, since the beginning, that Claudine will be the most adequate person to do this for us. Our son just settled peacefully and almost immediately, even being very little, he found another home and did friends with them. In a multi cultural environment, full of new ideas, play areas, games, good food, respect and most importantly, clean environment we were assured that he was well cared while he attended, always welcoming with a smile and saying goodbye with another to finish your day. Now our son will be attending nursery and even after this, she helped us with any questions that we might have or giving us advice. We are really grateful with her and her team, hoping that they will surely grow more and more in a nearly future!
