My son started with Claire aged 8 months and settled in immediately. As soon as we get to the front door he beams and can’t wait to get in! I love that Claire send photos and updates during the day so I know what they’ve been up to and where they’ve been and in every photo he’s having fun. He loves their days out and is developing well. Claire was also flexible in accommodating our timings and needs from the outset. I’d happily highly recommend Claire as childminder for anyone looking.

My 20-month-old daughter was with Claire all summer of 2019, and she absolutely adored her. Claire is highly competent, energetic and always has a lot of activities planned. She is very good at communicating, sending regular updates throughout the day. Claire’s house is full of toys, and her playroom is great for children of all ages. I would happily send my daughter to Claire when we are back in Sidcup.

My 1 year old has been with Claire full time for five months now and we couldn’t be happier with the care he receives. Claire’s warmth and total competence made me feel instantly at ease when I went back to work. My son absolutely loves her and gets so much from all his time in the setting. I love that they take regular outings to local parks and play groups, and there’s always an art project on the go. Communication with Claire is great, and I get regular photos of my son doing different activities so I don’t feel I’m missing milestones. I also find the work she puts into tracking and encouraging development in line with EYFS to be really useful. I can’t recommend Claire highly enough.

Claire provides an amazing childcare service in her lovely home. My little boy is very happy there and thoroughly enjoys his days with Claire. She is very reliable and organised as well as being loving and kind. I feel very safe leaving my son in her care and would recommend her services wholeheartedly.

My 10 year old loves going to Kids Ahoy - so much so, she has told me not to collect her early! Clare has certainly made her feel welcome and she spends time with the children in her care, such as playing games with them as well as showing an interest in what they are doing at school.
We cannot express how pleased we are with Claire's childcare service, she is organised, approachable and outstanding in her approach to ensuring my daughter feels safe and secure in her care.
