Paula

Wonderful childminder duo

Paula and Lee have been looking after my 2 year old for 6 months now, for 2 full days a week, and she has completely loved it! This has been my first experience with childcare and as a social worker by profession, feel I have pretty high standards, but this great couple have filled them all! The children get to spend alot of time out in their amazing garden, which is equipped with mud kitchens, weddy houses, water play stations, chalk boards and much more. It is a kids heaven, my daughter honestly never what's to leave. They also take the children to a variety of community groups such as messy play, which allows for multiple educational learning opportunities. I personally really like the fact that there is a variety of ages for my daughter to mix with as I believe it helps stimulate her learning in a way I can't do at home. Paula and Lee are both very caring, considerate, patient and just chilled out, (for example my daughter is vegetarian and they took it in their stride).
I would highly recommend them as childcare providers.

Great childminder - Highly recommend

I would highly recommend Paula and Lee after they looked after our little one since he was one.

They have a lovely family environment for children to play and learn in and set up great activities to keep them busy. They were very attentive and caring and communicated well with me after each visit.

My little one loved going every time and enjoyed playing with all the toys and outside in their very big garden.

I would recommend them without any hesitation and wish we could continue our time with them.

Thank you Yael.
We totally loved looking after Ben and will really miss him. He's a lovely little boy and is so inquisitive and eager to learn. Anyone would be very lucky to look after Ben. We will definitely stay in touch, we would love to see him grow!!

Friendly, fun and caring

I have known Paula and Lee for over 6 years and for the last 3 years she has been collecting my youngest Daughter up from school on a regular basis and I trust her implicitly with her care.
One of my main concerns for finding suitable childcare is that my Daughter is happy and comfortable in her surroundings and is content to be there. Paula has been very approachable from day one and if my child is happy, then so am I. Paula takes the time to listen and organises activities that to keep the children busy.
I fully recommend Paula as a Childminder.

Thank you Jackie we love having your daughter here. She is lovely and always very polite and caring and brings so much to our setting....it would certainly be quiet here without her. ?

Fantastic childminder

Paula genuinely enjoys spending time with and looking after children. She is the sort of parent who stays with her child when she takes them to a birthday party, not because she doesn't want to leave them and is over protective, but because she really enjoys these events and seeing the children have fun. She always helps out at birthday parties! Lee and Paula are really down-to-earth and friendly people with a great sense of humour. My daughter has a great time at her house before and after school and never says she doesn't want to go (which she did when she was in an after school club). In fact, she enjoys it so much that she doesn't want to leave when I arrive to pick her up!

Paula has a great house, ideal for childminding as it has a large, flat garden and a playroom. She always cooks the children tasty and nutritious meals. All the children in her care get on with each other and no bad behaviour or nastiness to each other would not be tolerated. She is firm, fair and fun. She creates an atmosphere conducive to building great friendships and enjoying each other's company. The children are rarely watching television or DVDs - they are always happily and creatively playing by choice.

She is real value for money and I would recommend her to anyone. I know that my daughter is in really safe hands with her and is also happy too getting a lot from the social situation.

Awww thank you Eve. We love having your daughter here she brings such a vibrant presence. She is a a beautiful soul inside and out. ?

Brilliant Childminder-We Love Paula

My 2 children have been going to Paula since last summer. They both really like her and Lee as well as her two girls. For us it really works well that Lee is often on hand.The house is ideal for Childminding with a big garden which they enjoyed during the summer. Paula is very flexible and has always been an excellent communicator which is important to myself and my wife.
We hope to continue using Paula for many years to come!
