So lucky to have our 2 girls with Claire. We really appreciate the openness and transparency shown whenever we’re discussing our girls development, current situations and future plans.
With Claire’s support and environment our first, who has needed additional support, has really improved her confidence and speech. The second is the juggernaut and adapted very quickly to being in full time care and now can’t wait to play with the others. The exposure they get is unrivalled. Best decision we’ve made.
Couldn’t be happier!
Thank youuuuuuu

We feel so incredibly lucky to have Claire minding our two year old son. She is so kind, patient and caring with him. He struggled at the start leaving us and Claire was so understanding and reassuring. She sends lots of updates during the day and now our little boy walks in happily every morning. We love that she takes him exploring and really feel like he has grown in confidence.
Claire is so hardworking, you can see that this is a passion for her and not just a job. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

Our son loves his 2 days a week with Claire. Claire is very warm and welcoming and treats the children like her own. We feel very confident leaving our 15 month old son in her care. She sends photo updates each day of what the children get up to. One thing we love most is the children are always outside in nature, rain or shine. Claire has also taken the children out on day trips, they are experiencing so much and we much prefer this type of setting over a nursery plus the children always get home cooked meals. We would recommend Little Hedgehogs to any local parents and are very happy with our choice 😄

Our 4 year old son has been at Claire’s setting for the last year as wraparound care whilst attending nursery at a local school. He has really enjoyed his time there and loves Claire and her whole family. The children all clearly interact well and he’s never short of a story about what fun games they have been playing that day. It is a pleasure to know he is being looked after by someone who obviously takes such care in nurturing and developing his character and, most importantly, he is very happy there.

Thank you so much for your lovely words. I hope he has a lovely start to his new class ⭐️
I will be forever grateful to have found Claire. Our son has ASD and through no fault of his own we found ourselves having to move him from a nursery without an alternative provision lined up. A couple of weeks later we were at our settling session and didn't look back. Claire was extremely understanding, patient and relaxed (in a good way) about his needs. She allowed him to be himself, explore and develop in confidence. Nothing made me happier than the days he spent running around forests and parks, eating picnics (and new foods!) clearly loving life. Having watched how unhappy my son had been in his final month at nursery and how distressing the environment has been, Claire's home was a sanctuary and he never looked happier.
I have no hesitation in recommending Claire, she was exactly what my son and I both needed ☺️.

Hannah, thank you so much for your lovely review. Good luck to your beautiful son in his wonderful new setting 🥰
Claire has looked after our little 1 year old for the last five months, and we honestly couldn’t have hoped to find anyone better!
Claire is warm, caring and full of energy, giving our girl the best and safest days in her nursery. Claire is so creative and full of ideas, teaching our girl to love nature and the outdoors and helping her learn so much. Our little one has grown SO much in confidence over the last few months, both socially and with her language, and we are so grateful to have found such a loving and kind childminder to take care of her. As well as trips to local parks, national trust places etc, she also gets taken out for her faves, babyccinos and sausage rolls, what’s not to love?!
Claire’s setting really does feel like a home away from home, our girl absolutely loves it and comes home so happy. We genuinely couldn’t recommend Claire more.

So pleased to have found Claire and her family for our 2 year old daughter.
We had a very comfortable few days settling in and lead up for our official first days. Since starting, our daughter has grown massively in confidence and courage, coming home bubbly and enthusiastic, it’s a pleasure to see.
Kids are meant to be having fun, enjoying games and life in a safe, loving environment - that’s exactly what we crave, need and get at Claire’s.

Claire is amazing. The best childminder we could even imagine. Our son was 20 months old when we left with her full time every day of the week and he just loved her and her family! Very caring, kind and friendly, they were a second family for him! We are very grateful and highly recommend Claire and the little hedgehogs!

Claire is a lovely and caring childminder. She has been a reliable source of support in caring for our daughter before and after school. Our daughter is always busy having on fun nature trips to different parks as well as indoor activities. Couldn’t ask for better person to care for our daughter. Highly recommend!!
