We visited many childminders in the Swadlincote area before meeting Claire who shone way above the rest. We haven't looked back after 2 years and my son still goes to Claire now despite the fact that I am no longer working as he enjoys it so much and has become good friends with both of Claire's sons.
Claire has always been accommodating with my changing work pattern and more recently I was very grateful to her for picking my son up from school and providing last minute care during a difficult and unpredictable pregnancy, she was more than happy to help every time.
It's clear to see that all of the children adore Claire who remains professional, attentive, caring and friendly whether it's first thing in the morning or last thing in the afternoon.
Claire also has a lovely home and garden and the children are always kept busy with different activities.
The monthly newsletters that Claire sends out are a great way of keeping up to date with the children and Claire always has time to talk about their day and what they have been up to.
I can not recommend highly enough.

Thank you for the lovely review. Since the review has been left i'm sorry to say my beloved dog Maggie has past away. She will be missed greatly not only by us, but the children who attended my setting.
