Claudia

The BEST childminder

I cannot recommend Claudia highly enough. She has looked after both of our children for a year, and we are extremely sad to be leaving her because we are moving out of London.
Claudia is warm, caring, creative and fun, and our children just adore her and her whole family. Her own gorgeous children are an absolute credit to her and play beautifully with my little ones and they love being with them!
Claudia’s home is a total delight for children as it’s full of brilliant toys and learning resources, and she has a lovely outdoor area which was especially important to us. She plans lovely craft and exploration activities including plenty of messy play, and we get regular updates and lots of photos so we can see all the fun the children have for up to.
I myself am a teacher, so I really appreciate the thoughtful updates on the children’s progress, and how Claudia plans activities based on the children’s interests and motivations.
She treats each child as an individual and is extremely responsive to their needs and personality - I was a bit worried about how my children would settle as they had spent a year with me at home in the pandemic, but they both settled really quickly and were very happy to be with her from day one - in fact they both ask to go to Claudia’s house in the holidays, and talk about everyone there all the time.
Claudia is reliable, practical and an extremely reassuring person to know is looking after the children - both my husband and I have felt incredibly lucky to have someone we trust and love so much to take care of our little ones. Whoever gets her next is incredibly lucky too!!!

A wonderful accommodating Childminder

I used Claudia as back up Childcare during the lockdown when my regular childminder was away. Claudia was very flexible and accommodating as I work long shift patterns. I was very apprehensive at first, as it was the first time leaving my daughter with anyone other then her usual childminder, however I was regularly updated on what she was doing with lots of photos and videos. At the end of the day I received feedback of the day, how much my duster ate, any accidents with toilet ting etc, this really put my mind at ease.

Claudia encouraged her to join in and help to prepare healthy snacks as all two year olds have snacks on the brain. All the meals were healthy and well thought out, my little only loved earl times and always cleaned her plate. She also did plenty of activities and crafts, made play dough, edible slime, as well as taught her some lovely new nursery rhymes. My daughter often sings and dances what she has learned.

She loved playing with Claudia’s lovely children, in a home that was clean tidy and full of different fun educational toys. Claudia has a fantastic garden space, much like a small park as it’s dedicated specifically for the children. There is also a shelter so the children can play outside even on a wet day.

At such a difficult time I couldn’t ask for anything more. Such a wonderful childminder!!
