Claris K

Forever grateful

Claris is absolutely wonderful. From the initial hello, I knew it would be hard to say goodbye. We needed a childminder as an interim before our daughter went to nursery, and I absolutely wish I found Claris before I paid the nursery registration fees etc. Claris really caters to both the academic and personal development of children with genuine care. Safe hands, kind heart and the warmest smile, made it easy for our daughter to settle, which put me at ease when returning to work full time. A true professional and we will be forever grateful.

Thank you, Fifi. It was a pleasure getting to know Olivia and your family over the past few weeks, and we were sad to see her go. We wish her all the best in her new setting, and please know that we’re always here if you ever need anything.

Thank you :)

Dear Claris,

Thank you so much for caring for my son on short notice.

You were welcoming and reassuring and my son enjoyed his time with you.

I pray for you and your family. I hope that your services will continue to grow.

All the best for your future.

Kind regards

Thank you Justice

A loving childminder

We had the absolute privilege of having Mrs Claris care for our son for three transformative months, and the difference she has made is nothing short of miraculous.
When I first contacted Mrs Claris, we were struggling with two major challenges: our son could only sleep while being carried on my back, and he had a tough time transitioning to solids. In just a few weeks, my baby now eats every type of food and feeds himself. Thanks to her, our son now naps peacefully with just a little patting—something I never thought I’d say!

We are forever be grateful to Mrs Claris for not only meeting but exceeding every expectation I had. She has truly set the foundation for our son’s growth and happiness, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly to any family lucky enough to have her.

Wow thank you so much Maureen. You are a brilliant family to work with

Warm and jovial Childminder

Initially, I was really nervous about leaving my shy little 19 month old boy with anyone as he was a bit scared of new people and didn’t like interacting with anyone other than our little family. After just one month of being at Claris’ setting, Caleb has really come out of his shell and it melts my heart to see how much he enjoys Claris’ approach to learning and being at the setting. He plants and harvests things in her garden, plays with a vast array of toys and educational activities and I can see his social skills are far more advanced, all in just a short window of time. Thanks to Claris our boy is not so scared of new people and now he smiles and waves when we drop him off. He is a much happier boy and I can’t thank Claris enough for putting my mind at ease with all the photos of him throughout the day, especially when he first started, and all the helpful advice she’s imparted to us since he joined. Best decision we ever made!

Thank you Vimala

Lovely, Firm & very Supportive

From the first day we met Claris, we were convinced we made the right choice. She was very friendly, warm and had a vast knowledge of early years curriculum.
She made us relax, and it was like we had known her forever. Our son quickly got used to her and he enjoyed his time with her. She was very patient with him, encouraged him to interact more with the other kids, helped him with various foods & textures, activities, climbing up & down the stairs.
She's an amazing person and would recommend her anytime anyday. She's a very easy childminder to work with.

Lovely and caring childminder

Claris is an amazing childminder! From the first time I met her with my son I could tell she was lovely and also passionate about child caring. She is very attentive to the baby's needs and she puts a lot of care in what she does. My son is always very relaxed after spending time with her and he loves his time at hers!

Amazing Childminder

Claris is an amazing mother, grandmother and childminder. She goes to great lengths to make sure all children in her care are well taken care of and takes their individual differences into consideration. I started using her services when she just opened up not knowing what to except as one of my children has additional needs so I was quite anxious, but luckily, my child settled in well, was exposed to new foods which made him open minded to try different things, his overall co-ordination and different aspects of his development improved. My daughter has been more sociable and able to express herself and needs well. All thanks to Claris. Keep up the good work! 🙌🏾

Many thanks Latty for trusting me with the children before I had any reviews on Childcare.co.uk. You are a brilliant family to work with

Great for your child’s development!

Claris did an amazing job at looking after our son. She had him for 3 months (started at 10 months old) and although a short space of time, his development while being in her care was remarkable! Claris guided me as a first time mum and for that I am grateful. She is very organised in all she does and keeps you up to date about your little one daily, helping you to feel at ease whilst not being with them. We are truly appreciative to have started our childcare journey with Claris and she has definitely set a standard in what we look for in a childminder going forward. Claris, thank you again for the past few months. You have been great!
