My very shy little boy, now nearly three, has been with Claire and Dale since he was 16 months old. He had struggled to settle with a previous childminder and I was really nervous about trying again. After the first trial session at Moonbeams I knew he would be fine there, he was playing happily when I called to check on him 10 minutes in.

Claire and Dale offer a safe and comfortable setting. The children in their care are made to feel like family. They are always on hand with cuddles and reassurance when it is needed but also encourage the children to think for themselves, and develop their own personalilties.

My little boy is always coming home with something lovely that he has made and lots of stories of things that he has done during the day and his diary keeps me up to date with everything he is doing.

I would definitely recommend Moonbeams, My little boy is much more confident than before, it has made going back to work so much easier to know that he is happy and being well looked after.
