"We have been very happy with the care Claira has provided for our nearly three year old son. We chose her setting because it is Steiner-inspired and because, when we met her for an initial chat, we found her approach fitted with our own; we immediately felt very comfortable leaving our son with her. We have not been disappointed! Finn hugely looks forward to his sessions with Claira (which had not been the case when we tried him out at a nursery) and comes home telling us of all the exciting activities he has taken part in. He loves the hands-on aspects of his time there - getting his own water and cutting up fruit at break time, for example. He also loves Claira's garden - finding various bugs under logs and water play have been some favourites. Claira's settling in process was tailored to Finn perfectly, rather than being a one-size-fits-all approach. We began with leaving him with her for very short periods and gradually increasing this; Claira stayed in touch throughout to reassure us that he was doing well or to let us know that he might need to be collected. The result is that he never had to stay longer than was right for him - important for him as he can be quite sensitive to these things. Finn has had a few small behaviour issues and I feel that Claira has supported him and us through these in an exemplary manner. She is very gentle with him, whilst at the same time providing clear and firm boundaries and she always makes time to discuss with us what has happened and if she has any suggestions for how we all might help him. Her suggestions have been most useful. Finn is making really good progress since starting at Sewing Seeds and I feel that Claira is supporting him well in his development. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sewing Seeds to other parents."
