My children (x2) were the first ones that Claire looked after and oh my did I give her a challenge! But how she made it look so easy.
I looked at a few other minders but I was looking for a larger space and easy outdoor access as my two could not be inside all day especially in those winter months. Claires cabin is spacious, clean and friendly! The space is set up differently each week so new activities to help stimulate inside and out.
She also took them out daily so they weren’t in the same space and got them to interact with other children, what with mine being siblings I wanted them to not just play with each other. In time we also found out that F was autistic and Claire really helped us on the right path to help get him a speedy diagnosis. She was brilliant as every morning was a struggle saying goodbye and she always found a way to help be calm and distract and make it seem close to our routine so F didn’t feel so anxious.
My children still know where her house is and I think that shows how much of a wonderful time they had whilst there.
They didn’t want to leave a lot of the time!! I had to persuade them home 😄.
Claire would also send photo updates without being too intrusive to your day but enough to make you feel confident of the days going on.

Claire is kind, caring and really goes above and beyond to make you as a parent feel confident. She cares for your children as you would expect them to be in your own home.
I cannot think of a better setting to send your children. I would highly recommend Claire for both full-time and wrap around care. I always saw happy children no matter what age.
