My Summary
About Me
My name is Pam and I live with my 2 daughters, aged 11 and 10, in the Bat and Ball area of Sevenoaks.
We live in a large, bright, ground floor flat with a garden which is partly undercover so children can access it in all weathers. There is a park/playground just 2 minutes down the road.
We like to get out and about as much as possible and have adventures. We attend local toddler groups and local library activities etc.
I work with two registered assistants, so we can accommodate more children each day. This means the children have more friends to play with, whilst also still receiving lots of one to one attention.
We accept 1 - 4 year olds only, and we can't accommodate nursery/preschool drop offs or pick ups. (This would involve taking other children to and from these settings, and I don't feel this benefits them).

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Pam. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Pamela has been caring for our 2 children for 8 months and is a truly wonderful childminder. She is incredibly caring and the children adore her. Their days are full of activities and Pamela has tailored these to match the children's likes and preferred learning styles. The children run in happily on drop off, which is always a relief, and are often much harder to convince to leave at the end of the day.
Pamela keeps us nicely updated with the children's progress and has been very flexible when we've needed additional hours. We would (and have) highly recommend her.
