A garden-based childminder offers a nature-focused learning environment where children are happy and settled. The outdoor-oriented setting emphasizes exploration, with children learning about wildlife and enjoying sand play. Parents provide extremely positive feedback, noting improved confidence in their children. The childminder promotes healthy eating and provides cooked lunches. Areas for improvement include developing a clearer curriculum for younger children and refining some daily routines to minimize disruption to learning.

Superb setting, creative and fun activities!

5 stars

This is my first experience with a childminder and it has been perfect. Claire and Diane are so good with children and my 2 year old absolutely loves them. I love the dedicated cabins and playground for the kids and Claire's frequent updates and pictures about what our kids are up to. There are also lots of outings and fun activities, forest school approach, emphasis on play, healthy eating, etc. I highly recommend Claire for anyone looking to give their kids the best pre-school experience. Five-star all the way!!!
