Thank you Justice
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
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!

Claris is a great childminder. She offers good childcare services with options for home cooked meals. She has spacious back garden for outdoor activities. She shares updates, messages and photos via WhatsApp everyday. Thank you Claris for your great care of my kid!

Thank you Vimala
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.

Thank you so much. It was really a blessing having G in my setting. His is a very clever and loving boy.
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!

Thank you, Marta
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
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!

Thank you Dee. It was a pleasure having J in my setting for a short period of time. We all miss his big smile already.
So far Claris has been great with my daughter, I trust her wholeheartedly and I know my daughter is having a brilliant time exploring and learning. I would recommend Claris to everyone as she is energetic and enthusiastic about children. You can tell it’s her passion!

Thank you Linda. It's really a pleasure to work with your beautiful family in making sure that D reaches her highest level in her learning and development whilst in my setting.
Claris was exceptionally helpful and very welcoming . My kids were so comfortable with her that they surprisingly refused to go home with me for the very first time. She is very professional at what she does, in a clean and beautiful environment . I appreciated all the information and guidance she willingly gave to me as someone trying to find her feet in a new city. I am definitely recommending her any day any time.

Many thanks Yvonne for choosing me to take care of the boys. Definitely I don't mind having them again.
Claris is an excellent carer and her setting provides for loads of learning and play options for the children.
My daughter has been with her about a month now and she loves her! She’s taken to the setting so well. She’s been apprehensive with other minders and care settings but with Claris she actually runs to her door and chases me away! :) I have absolute peace of mind leaving my daughter with Claris and my daughter has made tremendous progress just in the short time with her.
I can’t recommend her enough- she’s been a godsend to my little family.

Many thanks Amy. I wouldn't mind to offer my service to S whenever needed, when she start school.
As a newly relocated family to the Uk, meeting Claris assisted us greatly with childcare. She contributed immensely to our daughter's development and she taught us several things we needed to know & adjust to in the Uk. She is caring, friendly and impactful.
We totally recommend her for anyone looking for excellent carer for their children.

Thank you Lami. It's really a pleasure to have you as one of the families I work with. Your contributions through Tapestry learning journal has made it easy for me to track I's learning and development in all EYFS areas. You are wonderful and caring parents.
I have never used childminder before as I prefer nursery but once I met Claris I was convinced it was the right choice and I am not disappointed at all. A home from home for my child who has benefitted enormously in terms of his development. He really enjoyed playing with others kids. Claris is an extremely committed professional, always giving children her full attention. Really impressive childminder. Thanks to be in Dartford

Having just returned back to work full time , after visit multiple people - when we first met Claris we knew she was perfect for looking after our son.
She is so friendly bubbly, brilliant with our son and you can clearly see she has a passion for what she is doing.
Our 11month old has now been with her for 2 weeks and has settled in so well. They have so much fun throughout the day which makes me happy that he is happy.
It was always a big deal to find the right person but I truly believe we have :)

Thank you so much Alix. It's a pleasure to have Luay with me. He is such happy child and you are a good family. We will continue to work together to see him excel in all areas of EYFS learning and development
I went to visit with my son to see the environment and the provision provided for the children. Claris was very nice and welcoming, she was excellent with my son, she provides great resources for children to play, learn and grow. I was very happy with what I saw, what I heard from Claris and I am sure that my son will be very happy with her. I am definitely going to be taking my son there and will highly recommend it for other parents.
