Paula has been looking after our son Archie for over two years now and I just cannot reccomend her enough.
Paula is the kindest and the most selfless person I have ever encountered and she never misses an opportunity to teach her children something new.
Archie is always excited to go to Paula's, he asks about her and misses her and the children when he doesn't see them for a while.
We had an awful experience with a nursery in the past and it made Archie very shy and afraid of larger settings and groups. Under Paula's care, he came out of his shell and turned into a confident, assertive little boy.
We are very lucky to have found her as she truly is a gem.
