Hello October 🍂🍁

The prettiest, most colourful month of the year… but this October feels extra special because we’re celebrating 15 years of Claire’s 🤎

Fifteen years of caring for children, watching them grow, learn, change, find their confidence and eventually spread their wings. Some of the children I cared for right back at the beginning are now way beyond high school, which honestly makes me wonder where on earth the time has gone! To have played even a small part in so many childhoods over the years is something I’ll never take for granted.

To every past parent, every current parent, and every family already booked to join us in the future — thank you. Thank you for trusting me with the most precious people in your lives. That trust means more to me than I could ever properly put into words.

Claire’s has changed so much over those 15 years. It all started with just our lounge, a tiny kitchen and one bathroom upstairs. Since then we’ve grown and adapted year after year — creating our purposefully renovated garage playroom, extending the kitchen to give the children even more space, adding a downstairs bathroom, and completely transforming the garden so it can be enjoyed whatever the weather.

And now Claire’s has grown in another way too, with Kenny joining the team. Having him alongside me has allowed us to expand while still keeping that warm, home-from-home feeling that has always been at the heart of Claire’s.

Somehow, every year just seems to get better and better. More memories, more adventures, more little personalities coming through the door and more reasons to love what we do.

Here’s to 15 years of Claire’s — and to all the children and families who have made it what it is today. 🤎🍂✨

Ohhh we love a good ALE-HOP haul for Claire’s 🤍🖤🐮🐄🩷🥕🌽🥦

Of course our little adventure to Spain had to include finding some new goodies for Claire’s 😂🇪🇸🤍 And how gorgeous is our new little veggie family?! 🩷🥹 They’ve already been very well loved! Nothing beats bringing a little piece of our travels home for the playroom and lots of lovely imaginative play 🤍🖤🐮🐄🩷

🍂 Our mini adventurers 🍂

Yesterday our mini adventurers made the most of the autumn sunshine, exploring the garden, crunching through leaves, climbing in and out of boxes and turning the simplest things into the biggest adventures. 🤎🍁

Lots of giggles, imagination, exploring, sharing and playing together — exactly how childhood should be.

Sometimes all you need is a pile of leaves, a cardboard box and a little imagination. 🍂📦

It’s not always about the EYFS children, you know 🥰

Our school-age children are just as much a part of Claire’s as our little ones.

From school runs and after-school catch ups, to crafts, friendships, helping the younger children and simply having a safe, happy place to come back to at the end of the school day… wraparound care is a huge part of what we do too. 💕

We love watching these friendships grow across different ages — there’s something really special about the little community we’ve created here at Claire’s. 🌳✨

🌈 A little Claire’s adventure to Eureka! 🔬🦷🛒💦

Today’s learning took us out and about for a brilliant field trip to Eureka! — and safe to say, there was SO much to explore! 🥰

From splashing and experimenting with water, to playing doctors, dentists and carers, filling our shopping trolleys, exploring our bodies and discovering how things work… the children were completely absorbed. 💙

So much learning, laughter, imagination and curiosity packed into one day. ✨

And judging by those little faces, I’d say today was a huge success! 😂❤️

Big adventures, little learners and memories made together — just another day at Claire’s. 🌳💕

Today we celebrated a very special first birthday 🎂🤍

She’s only been part of Claire’s since the beginning of this month, but just look how settled, content and completely at home she already looks 🥹

It’s been so lovely getting to know her and watching her become part of our little Claire’s family.

We hope you’ve had the happiest first birthday, beautiful girl. Lots of love from all of us at Claire’s xx

🍂 Autumn garden play at Claire’s 🍁

Today we brought the indoors outdoors and turned our garden into the cosiest little autumn play space. 🧸📚

With stories under the tree, cuddly toys, baskets, wooden treasures and a garden absolutely COVERED in crunchy leaves, the children had so much to explore. We collected leaves, compared the different colours and sizes, balanced and stacked, transported our treasures around the garden and, of course, found some wonderfully big sticks! 😂🍃

There’s something so lovely about taking familiar indoor resources outside — suddenly they’re used in completely different ways and the children’s imaginations take over. 🤎

No fancy activity needed… just autumn, fresh air, freedom to explore and lots of little imaginations.

🍁 Autumn days at Claire’s are officially here!🍁
