My 6yo daughter and 4yo son have been with Clare since they were less than a year old and I couldn’t recommend Clare highly enough. Returning to work after having my first was extremely tough but having Clare take care of her was very reassuring. Clare would send me pictures and updates of what they’d been up to which was great. I loved that Clare had a dog as it has made my two confident around animals.

Over their time with Clare they have become a lot more confident and social which made the transition into school a lot smoother. Although at school and nursery, both still attend Clare’s and enjoy their time at the allotment with the chickens and all the many activities and places that they experience. They are extremely fond of Clare’s two older children and Rocco the dog.

Having just had my third child recently I already know where I will be sending him when I return to work. Thank you so much Clare for everything you have done and continue to do not just for my children but myself also. You are not only my childminder but a good friend x
