A Lovely Home from Home. Brilliant.
Both of my sons were looked after by Claire from a very young age, 6 months and 9 months. From day one Claire provided a very reliable, loving and warm service. When my boys were with Claire I knew that they were not merely being lookinged after but being cared for in the same way in which she cares for her own children.
I always felt like I could phone or text to check how my boys were, which i did often, especially in the early days of them being there. I always felt like their development needs were being met and my boys really came on as a result of all the lovely activities and the interaction with the other children.
Claire always prepared home cooked food and there was always fruit and other healthy snack on offer. I especially liked the fact that they could play daily in the garden but most days they would spend time in the park or other fun places.
Claire Always wrote a lovely detailed dairy of the things that my little ones got up to in the day, these are not precious things that I will always keep as a record of their early childhood. I always found Claire very flexible and she would try her best to fit in with our work arrangements.
Most importantly my children loved going to Claire's house. They have a fab relationship with Claire (who they adore) and her children who are their best buddies.
I can't recommend Claire highly enough.
