Claire looked after our daughter for two years from when she was just over a year old and I was returning to work after maternity leave.
We picked Claire due to the home from home environment, her commitment to early years education, and calm, caring, and nurturing nature towards the children in her care.
Our daughter didn't take long to settle in with Claire and during her time at the setting enjoyed fun days out, interesting activities and made some wonderful friends.
When I compare Claire to other childminders I have met/interacted with, what I most appreciate is how seriously Claire takes her role in the childrens development, her extensive experience. and the effort she goes to with activities such as celebrating Christmas/Diwali/Mother's Day etc. My daughter came home with some truly lovely crafts!
Claire is also absolutely brilliant at providing updates from the childrens days, which was especially a godsend for me as an anxious first time Mum returning to work after spending a lot of my maternity leave in Covid 19 lockdown!
Thank you for everything, Claire!
