Both Louise and Claire have cared for our daughter from 9 months until 3 and a half. It was emotional to say goodbye after the brilliant care they both provided over the years. At first it was very difficult leaving my baby in the hands of someone we didn’t know, but very soon there was a strong bond, my daughter’s confidence and trust in them was evident – she couldn’t wait to see them in the morning! They are both very organised and arrange a wide variety of activities into their routine, no two days are the same. My daughter took part in playgroups, walks in the park, excursions and some form of art or baking. My daughter’s development has clearly benefited from time spent with Louise and Claire. This is evident in her growing vocabulary, sociability and greater independence. We immensely appreciate how Claire was so flexible and went out of her way to accommodate us, especially when I was at home with a newborn :) We felt informed with a diary detailing our daughter’s day, alongside occasional photos. We are confident we had made the right choice and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone else looking for wonderful childminders!
