As any parent I was very anxious about leaving my daughter when returning to work after spending a whole 10 months without leaving her side. I checked out a few nurseries and a handful of childminders and I had no idea what would be best for us...until I visited Clare. It was very clear from the outset that Clare was more than qualified and had a wealth of experience of looking after early years children. She immediately put my mind at ease. It came across in some of the childcare options I visited that they were qualified to "mind" children, but with Clare it was clear that she was in the job for the love of caring for and helping children progress with knowledge of educational steps and stages. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since being with Clare and I am so confident that my little girl is happy here I am taking steps to increase my working hours to full time. I feel very lucky and that we found such a wonderful childminder and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you
