Clara has been my daughter's childminder for the last 6 months. My daughter started with Clara when she was 6 months old and I was naturally anxious about leaving her for the first time. Clara put my mind at ease, she sends me regular updates and photos, and it's a joy to see how well my daughter has settled in with Clara. Her development has come on in leaps and bounds and she is always smiling when we pick her up. Clara offers lots of different activities and experiences for the children and there are always a variety of themes to match the seasons. It's also nice that the children are learning a new language. Clara also offers amazing home-cooked food and fresh fruit and snacks. Clara is very flexible and accommodating and I am really pleased with the home-from-home environment that my daughter gets. We couldn't have got a better childminder for our circumstances.
