Claire
As joint owner of Farthing Wood Nursery with Emma, I am a qualified early years practitioner with 20+ years experience and a mum of 2. I am also Nursery chef and try hard to incorporate various dietry requirements whilst embracing healthy eating. I also work with the children each day enjoying activities enabling me to provide a holistic feel to nursery life. Providing an exceptional care, fun, educational and safe environment is central to our vision for the Nursery, which we have had from day one.
We pride ourselves being a close family run nursery where children, staff and parents are always made to feel welcome and part of life at Farthing Wood.

My sister Claire and I have been proprietors of Farthing Wood Nursery for over 10 years and previously gaining 8 years experience working as an early years practitioner in various settings. I take on many roles within the Nursery spending most of my time working with the children and supporting their social, emotional and developmental needs in order to give them the best start possible.
I am a mother myself of 2 boys, both of which benefited from the experience of an enhanced caring environment with a real 'home from home' feel in their formative years, which we feel strongly should be provided to all of our families and children alike.
