My wife and I relocated to Leighton Buzzard in September 2014 and at the top of our list was finding a suitable childminder for our 1 year old daughter. From the start Clare showed what a caring, and thoughtful childminder she was, by turning up at our new home with a birthday present for our little girl, who she hadn't even started minding yet!

Well that set the tone for what has been an amazing partnership with Clare, and she really has become a friend. Our daughter has grown, developed, and progressed beyond our expectations while being with Clare. The insightful day trips, combined with constant fun and excitement have contributed to our daughter becoming a delightful toddler.

Clare is always willing to go the extra mile, and has helped us out on many occasions. Her flexibility and understanding makes our relationship with her less like business, and more like pleasure. Her own family is testament to her abilities as a mother and home maker, with each of them being as delightful and friendly as her.

We cannot wait (if space permits) to send our baby son to join our daughter in childcare with Clare. Having the both of them with her will certainly leave us feeling confident in their growth, development, and social interaction. A great, professional, and extremely experienced childminder, and now also, friend.
