Clare has looked after my 3 year old son for the last 18 months and I cannot stress enough how pleased I have been with the care and support he has received from Clare. When my son first went to Clare he struggled with his communication and his social skills. Clare very quickly got to know my son and all his quirks and has gone above and beyond to help him develop and feel at ease. His communication, social skills and eating habits have all greatly improved and it's been a joy to see him develop such a close bond with Clare. As a parent I was very nervous about leaving my son in someone else's care when I went back to work from maternity leave, however the personalised, professional and genuinely caring environment Clare has created made the process very easy. I have no hesitation recommending Clare and First Steps.
