Claire is our morning drop off childminder continuously since the September '23. She is very well organised, always has interesting activities and educating fun toys to play with. My children are very keen to go to Claire's even though it is early in the morning. Her service is above and beyond. Apart from what is included in the service she is organising extra parties and activities free of charge on special occasions like Christmas or Halloween as she caries about her little customers very much. I wish she wasn't fully booked for the afternoon care as I know she take children to many different places like parks, soft plays, parties. They rarely spend time indoors! She has competitive prices as well.

Aw thank you so much. I wish I had after school spaces for you too. As soon as spaces open, they are yours x
Claire has been amazing with my son who has additional support needs. Claire has went the extra mile to gain the qualifications to help support my child in her group and has ensured that he has any equipment needed to help in any after school activities. In the holidays my child is out every day with Claire to different places that he would not normally get to visit. When my child is not out and about Claire ensures that he is busy with different arts and crafts and my son always brings his projects home to show them off to us. The joy on my son’s face when he comes home from Claire’s confirms that he is in a safe and enjoyable environment. 5 stars all the way.

Thank you Dawnmari for your lovely review. Your son is a delight in my setting and it has been my absolute pleasure to see him grow and develop his skills. I look forward to being part of many more adventures to come
I have been using Claire's service for nearly 2 years.
She goes above and beyond, and as well as her normal services, provides extra treat days, pictures, pantomimes lots of other activities, never missed a child's birthday without a treat day, going out for lunch, and of course a birthday cake.
She provides lots of variations with days out, snow tubing, play parks,, kelburn castle, too many too name. She is a passionate and caring and I can not express how she supports myself and grandson and how grateful to have found her and her amazing service xx

Thank you Erin, I'm glad your children had so much fun here at Bright Sparks when they were with us. Good luck to you all in your next adventures
Been using bright sparks childcare for my son for years now every week. Couldn’t ask for a better childminder. He’s always having great fun and looks forward to going every week. As I work full time he goes full days during the holidays and they are always away out at events like the cinema, pantomimes and he even tried golfing for the first time recently with bright sparks which he loved. Always lots of options for him to eat and different activities to do. Really accommodating for my work schedule, very professional always and my son feels safe and happy.

Thank you Olivia. It's great having him in the group and he's a fab friend to my own son too. And I think I'll make a professional golfer out of him yet
Claire provides a secure, fun and lovely environment for the kids she cares for from very small to bigger kids. She organises crafts and other imeginative play for the kids. My little one developed her social, verbal as well as gross and fine motor skills with her so much. Claire takes the little kids to have fun activities all the time such as soft play, farms, nature walks. Her house is always clean. She offers pick up/dropp offs if she can, is always on time, never let us down. She is kind and does everything to help the parents wherever and whenever she can. She has good communication with the parents and asks for feedback from them on a regular basis. She is an absolute treasure. I highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for these lovely words. I love having your little one with me. She is a joy and it's been so special to be such a big part of her development and seeing her coming out of her shell. She is truly a Bright Spark girlie
Claire is a fabulous and extremely kind childminder whom has always went above and beyond to accommodate our childcare needs. An excellent and clear communicator, meticulous with her planning skills when it comes to activities, trips and children’s health and wellbeing, I entrust her with the care of both my children. Couldn’t recommend anyone else better for the job.
My 6 year old comes home happy and tells me every day that’s “She’s just the best mummy”. I think words from her mouth speaks for itself 😊

Thank you Chanida, I've loved having your 6 year old over the holidays with us and can't wait to spend more time with them and see the wee one grow ❤️
My son and I met up with claire last year when I became a first time mum. Claire was so understanding to our needs and very accommodating allowing us to have many settling in sessions.
My son had now been with Brightsparks for 4 Months and has absolutely thrived since starting. Claire has put my mind at ease and I was able to return to work knowing my son was in safe hands. Amazing service , goes above and beyond for the kids and it's clear to see how much she means to them all 😊.

Thank you, I love having your wee guy in my service
My daughter has now been with Claire for a year in an afterschool care setting and also during school holidays. She has come on leaps and bounds with her confidence and socialising since starting with Claire. She is kind, caring and always providing the kids with the same love and attention She does for her own. She goes above and beyond with the activities and adventures she provides for the children. You really couldn't find a better childminder! Wish I'd found her sooner.
