She is an amazing person and a childminder. As a new mum I face so many challenges with my twins. But she is very understanding and loving to my children. She love them and take care of them like her own child. Though one of my twin is taking town to settle but she is been very patient and calm. She discuss and understand the situation. She also do adjustments and been very flexible to settle the child in. I must say she is outstanding in what she do. She explains and helps in children growth and report us their activity and development. Thankyou Claire for being an amazing and loving Aunty Claire.
I am delighted to provide a glowing review for Claire, the childminder who has been taking care of my children, Faizaan and Noorayn. From the moment we entrusted our precious little ones to her care, Claire has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to their well-being and development.
Claire's dedication to her role as a childminder is truly exceptional. She creates a warm and nurturing environment that immediately put our children at ease. It's evident that she genuinely cares for them and treats them as if they were her own. Claire has a natural ability to connect with children, and both Faizaan and Noorayn have formed a strong bond with her.
One of the aspects that stands out the most about Claire is her commitment to providing a safe and stimulating atmosphere for our kids. She has a wide range of age-appropriate activities and toys that have not only kept them engaged but have also helped with their cognitive and social development. From arts and crafts to educational games, Claire ensures that our children are consistently engaged in productive and enjoyable activities.
Moreover, Claire's attention to their nutritional needs is remarkable. She prepares nutritious meals and snacks, taking into consideration their dietary requirements and preferences. This has put our minds at ease, knowing that our children are well-fed and receive the right nourishment under her care.
Communication is another area where Claire excels. She keeps us updated regularly on our children's daily activities, any concerns or issues, and their progress. This open and transparent communication has fostered a sense of trust and confidence in her abilities as a caregiver.
In addition to her commitment to the children, Claire is incredibly flexible and accommodating when it comes to scheduling. She has gone above and beyond to accommodate our busy and sometimes unpredictable work hours, ensuring that we have peace of mind knowing our children are in good hands.
Claire's professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for what she does make her an outstanding childminder. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found her, and she has become an integral part of our children's lives. Faizaan and Noorayn have not only thrived under her care but have also developed strong social and emotional skills that will benefit them in the long run.
In conclusion, Claire is more than just a childminder; she is a caring and dedicated individual who has become an extended part of our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any parents seeking a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their children. We are grateful for the love and support she has provided to Faizaan and Noorayn and look forward to the continued growth and development of our children under her exceptional care. Thank you, Claire, for being a remarkable childminder and making a positive impact on our family's life.
Claire is an amazing childminder. My daughter has been going to Claires for over a year and she has loved every minute spent there.
Claire has always provided a safe, nurturing and educational environment, all while being creative and fun with the kids through artworks, paintings and messy play. They do quite a lot of activities which is what we loved from the start: playgroups, parks, allotment and many more.
My daughter has been thriving under Claires care, started speaking a lot more and developed her artistic abilities. Claire has always been a huge help with us first time parents too, keeping us updated throughout the day on what they’re up to but also listening to our worries about our daughter’s development and offering advice and support.
We have been recommending Claire to all our friends and neighbours especially as that’s how we met Claire- our neighbours recommended her. I cannot recommend Claire enough and she has been exactly what our daughter needed at this stage in her life.
Claire has been a wonderful caring, loving, and supportive caregiver for our child, Samko. She took care of him for 2 years and she prepared him for a reception very well. She has a warm and inviting home that is perfect for children, and she always keeps them busy with activities that are both educational and fun. Claire takes the children to parks, playgroups, and other local attractions, so they always have something new to experience.
Samko has learned so much from Claire during his time with her. He will definitely miss her when he starts school in the fall. I highly recommend Claire to any parent who is looking for a caring, loving, and experienced childminder.

Thank you so much that is so lovely. It's been a pleasure watching Samko develop. We are all going to miss him so much. X
Claire is absolutely fantastic! We had to change our childminder due to a house move and from the moment my little one met Claire, she absolutely loved her. It was the easiest transition ever when both of them greeted each other with a big smile every morning. Ever since, Claire has been amazing: caring, loving and firm with Mia when needed. She has a great setting and always keeps the little ones busy with activities inside her home or by going to classes, parks, garden plays etc. No wonder Mia loves spending time with her! Claire is also great with us parents, she always offers support and advice. It's extremely useful for us, first time parents, and we find her expertise invaluable. Last but not least, Claire is trustworthy, understanding and flexible. She always gives plenty of notice with leave and accommodates changes. That was extremely helpful not only when we moved but also when I was changing jobs. We feel very lucky to have her as a childminder! Thank you, Claire!
