Testimonials ALL

Having a baby during lockdown without a lot of access to friends, family, baby classes and health visitors has been challenging. Bespoke family have been so helpful in answering my fears and questions about what is best for me and my baby. This has been without judgment. Sometimes you need someone to tell you that you are doing a good job and everything that is happening is completely normal! Thank you Bespoke family.

I can't speak highly enough about Claire. We had an entire year of broken sleep and had tried so many different techniques. From the moment we had our initial conversation with Claire she instantly put our mind at ease and came up with a bespoke solution that we were all happy to try. Day after day she was at our beck and call and was so calm and reassuring, even when things weren't going to plan. The minor tweaks that she kept making were so personal to our child and made us realise how thorough she was. Over time, positive results started taking place and I can safely say that we now are actually sleeping again. A year of broken sleep can send anyone crazy and to have someone like Claire to hold our hand for a month was the best thing I have ever done. I can't recommend her enough. I would like to have her on speed dial for everything!!!

The sleep webinar was just what I needed to help with my 6 week old who was having a few issues during the night. Claire’s advice was fantastic and she answered a question which I had emailed beforehand. The webinar covered a range of topics which were also useful for my 2 year old. Would definitely recommend this webinar and I will be looking in to the others that Bespoke family do to make parenting that bit easier!!

We are based in Dublin and recently worked with Claire on our 4 year olds bed time routine (or complete lack thereof!). Having struggled for nearly a year, through Claire’s thoughtful and supportive advice, we have managed to completely change bed time, which has made a huge difference to us and most importantly to our daughter who now embraces bedtime and sleeps through the night. We are very grateful and would happily recommend Claire to anyone who might be struggling like we were.

We are so happy and relieved that our 8 month old is sleeping 12 hours at night! He is also now following a predictable daytime food and nap routine all thanks to sticking to Claire’s care plan approach. We didn’t think it possible at 4 months of not napping in his cot for more than 30 minutes and up every 2 hours at night! The first week was tough but with persistence and encouragement from Claire he soon understood when he needed to sleep and I was amazed the first time I was able to leave his room at nap time with his sleep associations, with no return! He is now very happy and contended. Thank you Claire. We just wish we stuck by this with our now 3 year old! 😊

My husband & I cannot recommend your company Bespoke Family enough. We have attended two of your webinars, ‘Your Guide to Sleep’ & your recent free webinar ‘Your Guide to Lockdown- Your Child & You’. We have found all of the content in your webinars extremely informative, engaging & useful; & have applied your advice & techniques into our every day life with great success. Your expertise & professionalism is second to none! You answered all of our questions & addressed our concerns & your friendly & empathetic approach have provided us with great reassurance. It is obvious to see that you are passionate about what you do & it really felt like you took us in under your wing! We will most certainly be booking onto your other webinars to learn more & to help us on our parenting journey. We only we wish we knew about you when we had our first born!

We have nothing but high praise for Bespoke Family & have recommended you to all of our friends. Thank you for providing a great service!

One week in to a new routine and the difference has been amazing. Getting advice and switching a couple of things round has made a massive difference. Poppy is happier, everyone is getting undisturbed sleep and I'm able to use less makeup to hide the bags under my eyes. Thank you so much!

I have used bespoke family for 2 separate CPD courses. Both of them were incredibly insightful and I feel like I have come away with so much more knowledge. Claire and her team are absolutely fantastic and I would recommend any parent, grandparent or any childcare professional to check out the website for courses. I feel the courses are very good value for money.

I completed both of Claire’s webinars (caring for your newborn and welcoming your newborn). They were so informative and super useful. I am a nanny and was looking to refresh my knowledge ready for when my new charge arrived. Claire provided all of this and more, she has a really good way of teaching and explaining everything in her Webinar so clearly. I would recommend her webinars to anyone and I am looking forward to watching some more in the future. The fact sheets are really great too, as something I am able to look back at quickly if needs be. Thank you so much for sharing all your great experience and knowledge that I can carry with me in my day to day practice.

Until 3 weeks ago, our toddler had no problems sleeping, then everything changed! Along with the sleep problem, we had head banging and were at a loss how to deal with it. We contacted Bespoke Family and opted for a consultation with Claire. Communication with Bespoke Family was excellent and we were very lucky to get an appointment within a few days. Claire provided a very welcome insight into how our little one sees the world, identified the problem and gave us an action plan. Within a couple of days of implementing Claire’s recommended routine our toddler was sleeping normally again and the head banging had stopped. Claire is a genius – best money we have spent!

Incredibly informative, and well delivered video on toileting - very knowledgeable and helpful instruction for all parents who are either just starting out or who have had some problems along the way. Really looking forward to seeing more.

I am a fan, no doubt about it. I am in the business as a Norland Nanny myself and always had to do CPD courses. Clare and Rebekah were our tutors. They are so knowledgeable, had so much hands on experience, therefore practical in their thinking and very much teaching to parents on the same level. Lots of researched explanations of the 'why's and therefore's. Their video series on specific subjects are so amazing, down to earth and practically explained and 'real', as I well know! Brilliant watching for parents. As a family in need of help and advice on issues definitely turn to them for help. Lovely ladies. As one in the business I totally recommend them.

“As a first time Mum, I've had many questions arise about parenting decisions and, although friends and family are supportive, I wanted professional impartial advice to give me the confidence to navigate those early years.

Claire is absolutely wonderful at providing this - she is incredibly professional, practical and down to earth. It is so reassuring to have such thoughtful guidance, the benefit of all her experience and knowing advice is a phone call away when there is anything I need a steer on. I cannot recommend Claire and Bespoke Family highly enough.”

"The help of Bespoke Family consultancy service, and in particular Claire, has been invaluable in helping Taplins to continue to improve our service delivery. During Claire’s regular visits she provides advice and guidance, and then following the visits further assessment for future development. Claire is approachable and has a very caring yet professional approach. Bespoke Family has also run workshops for the nursery staff on evenings and weekends to provide them with direct support in how they can improve their practice, and this has had a huge positive impact on the quality of practice."

“Claire has helped me since the day I found out I was pregnant, recommending equipment, from next to me cots to the best type of bottles. She’s been a real help with my baby, helping with sleep, feeding issues & routine. Every single one of her tips really do work! Claire is literally at the end of the phone no matter what & I wouldn’t be without her. My little boy absolutely loves her & will continue to as he grows up.”

“Our family has worked with Claire since the birth of our first son in 2015 and she now works with both of our children. Claire has supported us with every aspect of our sons’ lives including helping us to recruit and manage a nanny team; setting up our nurseries including researching and purchasing all of the equipment we needed; making sure that the children’s development is on track and being stimulated, and supporting and advising us, as parents, on a 1:1 basis.

Claire is an extremely pragmatic person who is always flexible to meet our needs. She approaches her role with sensitivity, is adaptable and cooperative and works extremely well with my staff team. We truly wouldn’t be without Claire and the children adore her. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering a bespoke consultancy service for their family.”
