Molly’s guide to...
...enterprising mums
CLAIRE

I first realised there was a huge gap in
professional childcare provision when,
the parents I worked with asked me why I
couldn’t go home with them and continue
supporting them in their own homes.
When my own children were small, I was
very lucky that I had the help of my mum,
but many families move away, especially in
the Lincolnshire area where there are lots
of forces families.
With over 35 years of childcare experience,
working in many different and diverse
settings, I decided to look at childcare
from a different angle and find out what
parents really want.
I now provide nannies that care, can
be called upon at short notice and for
whatever time the family needs them for.
I am also a breast feeding counsellor with
a wealth of experience and offer a breast
feeding package which I can deliver in the
family home to an expectant mother and
her supporters.
In October
2011 my sister
and I set up
Trewly Bella
Baby Boutique. I
found out immediately I was pregnant
after nearly four years of trying. I was
ecstatic, but wondered how I would
manage a new baby, my two other
children and a new business. The
business had to take a back seat until
that is…September 2012!
I had started to have doubts about
returning to my other job as a HR
Manager. Luckily for me I was made
redundant in February 2012 so the
decision was made for me and I could
really focus on the business and be at
home with my daughter.
I have lots of plans for Trewly Bella
Baby Boutique; selling online,
exhibiting at events as well as
continuing to host parties.
Organising charity events is another
real love of mine and to date I have
organised 13 ranging from Charity Balls
to Fun days.
