I have had the pleasure of having Paula as a childminder for my toddler for 9 months. She is kind, creative, generous, and engaging, and has created the most warm and lovely environment at her home for the children she looks after. Unfortunately, we have moved away to Bristol, and my son will miss his Paula days! Highly highly recommend her services to anyone in the area.
My daughter has been with Paula for nearly 2 years and has been so happy, she loves going.
I was recommended to use her by another friend & she is very popular so I was lucky to get a space.
Paula has been consistent, reliable and very flexible wherever possible which, for me as a working mum, has been so helpful. She is also able to provide lunches which has been another time saver.
She is always out and about with the children, rain or shine and spends a lot of time teaching the children their letters and phonics to make sure they are best prepared for school.
If you need a childminder, Paula is, in my opinion, the absolute best start and I really can't recommend her highly enough.
