My two children (3 and 6) have been going to Claire's for 2 years now, I can highly recommend Claire, her family, and home as a safe, secure and happy environment for children to be in.

Claire keeps a daily diary of activities or outings undertaken, food eaten and general goings on of the day, the children have always, always done something and often come home with pictures, crafts, cakes or muddy clothes to vouch for this. Before my youngest started pre school they were always at toddler groups and Claire encourages them to interact and play with other children and as a working mum this has been a huge weight off my shoulders to know this was being done when I couldn't always do it myself.

Claire has been great in accommodating my shift work, flexible and at times having them last minute with there being no problem. My children always come home from there smiling and happy and love taking their new toys round to show and play with Claire's own 2 children. There are 2 other young boys that go to Claire's who have been going longer than my 2 so I feel this only proves how happy we are to continue using Claire as a childminder.

After going through 2 other childminders before finding Claire feel I have been blessed to find someone that has a genuine interest in children and their development.
