Claire is a fantastic childminder, she cares for my boys in a way I could have only hoped for. They love going to her house and have great fun. She is honest and always open to finding ways to work with me and my children when we encounter any difficulties, be they emotional, at school or especially in the past year of Covid-19 uncertainty - keeping the happiness and security of the children at the forefront of her mind.

My 6yo has some big emotions and she took a lot of time to really get to know him and what makes him tick when he joined her at Reception. I see her as his ally and I think that this is an invaluable relationship for him....In 3 words he describes her as "kind, loving and generous - because she's generous to me about lots of things and listens to me".

She worked especially closely with me, going above and beyond my expectations when my BF 12month old transitioned into her setting after my maternity leave came to an end. She researched gentle ways and made suggestions to help us prepare for this big change, it made it so much easier for us and he's flourishing with her now at 20 months old.

I couldn't recommend her enough :0)
