Claire has been looking after my son for 6 months now and he absolutely loves his days with her and the other children she looks after. I was very nervous initially about leaving him in somebody else’s care, as he had never been away from me for any length of time, but to my amazement he settled in pretty much immediately and has genuinely seemed happy and excited to go there every day since. Claire has the rare mix of being extremely organised and efficient, but also flexible, relaxed and fun! She is very supportive and accommodating and really works with parents to make things as consistent as possible for the children. Most importantly she is very caring and sensitive to the needs of all the children in her care (as well as the parents too!).

Claire’s house is great, with a huge play room and wonderful garden. The chickens and the hamster are very popular with my son! He is always doing lots of crafts, cooking etc when he is at Claire’s and also always going on lots of exciting trips – I am very jealous some days when I pick him up and hear all about the fun they have had! When I drop him off I have no worries as I really feel as though he is off to have a wonderful day with his extended family.

I count myself very lucky to have found Claire, she is absolutely top class!
