I have used Clarey Poppins as my childminder for a number of years, straight from when I returned back to work after maternity leave to holiday care now my children are at school, always professional, and I know my children are well looked after in her care.

Daughter was waking hourly overnight, and only napping 10 mins twice a day. Also would only sleep on me and couldn’t self settle. Spoke with Clare she was lovely to speak to no judgments really friendly. She gave amazing advice which I took onboard and now she sleeps on her own, in her own cot, and self settles. She did this within 5 days! I would highly recommend speaking to Clare. Really gentle techniques no crying out! Amazing!! Thank you Clare!

Clare has saved us!!! Our daughter is older (5 years) and we weren’t sure if sleep support/training would be too late for her! But it wasn’t! we now have a clear routine and we have a sleeping household again!! I can’t recommend Clare enough she is kind patient and doesn’t judge!!! Thank you thank you!!

Hi Clare, a big thank you for your help. We saw a change after one nights sleep and he has consistently been settling and sleeping through the night in his own cot this past week. Also, he’s a different personality during the day, especially the mornings. Amazing. Thank you so much

We have a very determined and stubborn 10 month old who was used to co sleeping due to multiple illnesses over several months. Clare helped us with a sleep routine after a great home visit. After two weeks of persistence and support our baby girl sleeps through with minor arguments and self settles so we are sleeping properly for the first time since she was born. Thank you from us all xx

Clare was fantastic. She took the time to really understand our situation and objectives, then gave useful and practical advice. And most importantly, it worked! Sleep, for us is arguably the biggest thing about parenting so we're glad we sought advice.

My 7 month old was waking every 45 mins through the night and the only way she would go back to sleep was to be fed. I was exhausted, she was exhausted and I felt like we had tried everything. We contacted Clare and had a one hour zoom call with her. That was 6 days ago and last night my baby only woke 3x- something that a week ago I would have thought was impossible. Clare really listened to what we were and weren’t willing to do (eg I was not willing to let my daughter cry for any time without comfort) and tailored her advice for our situation. I am so incredibly grateful!

My little boy couldn’t sleep through the night and would wake 3 to 4 times a night to feed, at almost 13months old I decided that it’s time to wean him of the night feeds and help him sleep better , Clare helped me tweak my night routine and on day 4 of our new routine he slept through the night. I don’t believe in sleep training or letting your baby cry out and I feel Clare really helped me wean without compromising my believes.

Clare has been absolutely incredible.. I am confident mum to 3 boys but my 3rd had push us to our limits and none of my old tricks where working, Clare took the time to talk, listen to our entire family story and suggested a technique to get our 2 year to self settle and sleep all night. We cracked this in just over a week... it has been the best £ I have and will ever spend. I can't thank her enough, if your reading this and wondering if it's the right decision I guarantee you won't regret. Thank you Clare , we are truly forever grateful.

Where to start… Clare helped us with our 19 Month old who had been going down in her cot after we rocked her to sleep but waking after a couple of hours and then we would get her into bed with us and she went straight back to sleep which then was a habit each night. We have a newborn so we needed our daughter to start settling herself I spoke to Clare and she put a plan in place and we haven’t looked back since honestly at times it’s been tough but Clare has been there every step of the way and I cannot thank her enough! A truly wonderful women if you’re thinking about booking in honestly DO IT you will not regret it .. thank you so much Clare.

I cannot rate her enough!! Clare helped us so much with our little one when we were first trying to sleep train. I love that she gave us options and didn’t force methods on us we didn’t want to use. Her advice was practical and worked as well. She is brilliant!

Clare was recommended to me when I told a friend that my little one (16 months) was causing everyone to sleep anywhere except their own bed! So I booked a zoom call and thought it would be worth a try. Clare was so easy to talk to, listened to what works (and doesn't work) for my family and explained how the sleep training could fit in to our routine. I am on night 4 and my little girl is in her own cot and getting herself to sleep (with a little reassurance every now and then). It has gone so much better than I thought it would and I'm so glad that I spoke to Clare and went for it! We still have a little way to go (and to keep it up) but it has already made a difference.

Really friendly and approachable. Felt listened to, which sometimes is half the issue! The support was really successful. Clare also checked up on me and our progress after a few days, even though I only paid for the one phone call. I would definitely use her again in the future for any futures issues.

Clare has been a wonderful sleep consultant for us. We were recommended by a friend who used Clare’s overnight sleep training service which is what made us choose her over other consultants but Clare has empowered us and given us the confidence to sleep train our one year old ourselves. She is always on hand to offer advice by text promptly and we’ve had an extra catch up call to try and troubleshoot early morning wakes. We couldn’t be more grateful for her help as we have gone from having a cosleeping, breastfed baby, to one who puts himself to sleep in his cot, in his own room. We started seeing success after just 3-5 days thanks to Clare’s simple method.

She has been an excellent sleep trainer for our 14 month old. Very experienced, very professional and she put a lot of effort into building a rapport with him before we started. This really paid off as did the consistency, which she taught us to maintain and it has all made a profound difference to our little one who now sleeps much better. We would definitely recommend 👍🏽

Clare has helped us so much with our 2 year olds sleep recently. It got to the stage where she was up 4hrs+ every night, despite us being in the room with her. We were exhausted. We wanted to try a really gentle approach which Clare advised us on. We had some success with this but after a week we were still having mixed nights. Clare checked in regularly and with no hesitation Clare arranged another zoom call after we’d tried for a week. Myself and my husband decided we felt comfortable with a more structured approach which Clare advised us on. We’ve had great success and we all feel so much better having had consistent sleep. Thank you SO much Clare xx

I recently reached out to Clare for my 14 month old boy. He has never slept well always up every few hours. Having returned to work and having to wake so much at night I was on the brink of breakdown. We bit the bullet and had a call with Clare. She gave a few suggestions which we tried. There was some improvement but still rough going with nightly wakes. We decided enough was enough and booked Clare in for two night. Night one was rough as both I and my little boy had to learn the new methods of settling etc. BUT night two…. HE SLEPT 7-7. First time in 14 months i slept!! He now goes to bed 7pm no problem yes wakes sometimes but easy to settle. No more bottles at night, eating and napping better during the day. You’ve literally given me my life back. I can spend time with my husband, watch tv and not have to go up to bed at 7pm! I’m even going out with a friend for dinner on Friday! My husband even suggested he might think of having another baby! On the basis we bring Clare in early on to help with sleep! Haha! Thank you so much your amazing x x

I would recommend Clare to every parent I know. She was respectful of the way I wanted to raise my daughter sleep-wise, helpful from the word go, encouraging of flexibility with how my daughter slept, and provided me with good first steps and then progressively other things I could be doing for day sleep etc. She was extremely supportive of how I was doing and how to troubleshoot different things that came up. Using Clare’s help, I now have a baby who puts herself to sleep both at night and for naps during the day at 4 months old, and I think we have gotten through most of the sleep regression relatively unscathed. I’m so thankful for her help and how she gave me to confidence to put things in place so that my mental state now with 2 children is pretty good!

Short version: If your baby isn't let you sleep, phone Clare she WILL help! Long version: Clare has helped me twice first when the baby was 8 months I was being woken at least every 2 hours and was bringing the baby into bed with me halfway through the night and then not sleeping properly at all. Her kind and sensible suggestions helped improve things very quickly, unfortunately I allowed some bad habits to creep back in and then when my son became very poorly with chicken pox sleep took a nose dive again. She has once again set me in the right path and already the baby is settling himself, sleeping longer stretches and last night slept right through, something I thought wouldn't happen for a long time. The advice Clare gave me was simple and effective it does take a bit of work and grit to keep going when you're so tired but it's worth it. Also she doesn't cost the earth like some consultants that I looked into, which was a big deal for me. Basically don't hesitate if you want to start sleeping again!

Sleep isn’t something to mess around with. My husband and I were going crackers with a 1 year old waking at 4.30am and a 3 year old needing my presence constantly. One straight talking but knowledgeable and empathetic chat with Clare later and we’re at 6.30am wake ups and a much happier system for our older child. Clarey is like having a mega mum on call who knows it all and has 4 kids herself so you know she’s been through it all. She’s amazing and I can’t recommend her enough.
