I used Claudia as back up Childcare during the lockdown when my regular childminder was away. Claudia was very flexible and accommodating as I work long shift patterns. I was very apprehensive at first, as it was the first time leaving my daughter with anyone other then her usual childminder, however I was regularly updated on what she was doing with lots of photos and videos. At the end of the day I received feedback of the day, how much my duster ate, any accidents with toilet ting etc, this really put my mind at ease.

Claudia encouraged her to join in and help to prepare healthy snacks as all two year olds have snacks on the brain. All the meals were healthy and well thought out, my little only loved earl times and always cleaned her plate. She also did plenty of activities and crafts, made play dough, edible slime, as well as taught her some lovely new nursery rhymes. My daughter often sings and dances what she has learned.

She loved playing with Claudia’s lovely children, in a home that was clean tidy and full of different fun educational toys. Claudia has a fantastic garden space, much like a small park as it’s dedicated specifically for the children. There is also a shelter so the children can play outside even on a wet day.

At such a difficult time I couldn’t ask for anything more. Such a wonderful childminder!!
