Paulabk

We love Paula & Keeley!

My little one started 3 months ago with Paula & Keeley after we had a really bad experience with a previous childcare setting! I was so apprehensive after this but Paula and Keeley have been AMAZING. My 2 year old settled in straight away. Communication is excellent, Paula and Keeley send updates of pictures and summary of the day every day as well as a chat at the door on pickup. Feel they genuinely care about my child, he has thrived since going and can never wait to go back again 😁 Paula is also really flexible, as I am a nurse she will do an early start for me of 6.30am which I appreciate so much. Can't recommend enough!

Thank you

5-Star childminder

Our son has been with Paula for almost 3 years now and I can honestly say we couldn’t have wished for a better childminder for him. There’s not a day that goes by when he doesn’t happily walk in when being dropped off and we truly think Paula’s setting has benefited his development hugely. We love her ‘common sense’ approach and the fact they do lots of activities (including outdoors) to suit all of the children. From the moment we met Paula, we knew we could trust her and we couldn’t recommend her enough. A special mention to Keeley, Paula’s assistant who is as trustworthy and caring as Paula. Our son will start pre-school in September and we will genuinely be sad to leave them.

An absolute superstar, cannot praise Paula enough

Our little girl has been going to Paulas for just over 18 months, pretty much full time, and her school-age sister joins her in the holidays. Paula provides loving, creative care and the kids love going to see her. My little one benefits from a huge range of experiences and regularly gets out and about, and now she has a little gang of her friends from Paulas.
Paula has been super flexible (I work shifts and she has been very accommodating of this), and always has a smile for the kids in the morning. She is integral to our whole family life working, and has been such a great find!

Home from home

Our son spent 3 days a week with Paula from 18 months to 3 years. He quickly grew in confidence and enjoyed spending time with a range of ages, like a big family. Paula’s energy and creative play suits his busy character down to the ground. Whether it was messy play or a picnic on the common he always came home with a smile on his face. They made a really special bond which was lovely to see - and he still asks to see her so it’s handy that she offers babysitting too!
Thank you Paula!!

PAULA IS OUR ANGEL

I've been with Paula for nearly 3 years now. Both My children attend her setting. She is amazing. The children learn so much with her. They are always doing activities inside and out the house. She's caring and understanding and both my children adore her. Will absolutely recommend Paula to anyone. She is a fantastic minder and a really wonderful person. I am thankful that I found her.

Absolute Star!!

Paula is just the best! Our son has been with her for 4 months and we couldn’t be happier - she makes leaving him during the week bearable. They seem to spend an equal amount of time in and out of the house - we either hear of a trip to a local park/farm or are presented with a piece of art ... or baked goods!! Maxwell’s social skills and talking has come on and even his football skills from playing in the garden with her children. We get digital updates on how Maxwell is doing with pictures. Paula’s house is warm, friendly and full of noise, and Maxwell looks right at home when we pick him up!

Paula's our STAR!

Our son was looked after by Paula until he was 4 and a half years old . He started with her when he was only 10 months. When we met Paula we immediately felt a warm and caring environment would be given to our son and he was always happy being in her care. We wanted someone who was on the same page as us where routine was concerned and Paula was the perfect fit.

She always made his days exciting by taking him out on fun excursions, from the park, farm, play dates and play centres.

Paula is an exceptional childminder who provides not only a safe environment for kids but also a fun, exciting playing space for the kids to enjoy. I would highly recommend Paula to anyone who is searching for a warm and carefree environment for their tiny tots. She always went the extra mile to make our son feel part of her family.

If it wasn't for my son attending a different school to her kids I would most certainly have continued childcare with her. We will still use Paula's babysitting services in future as we'd like to continue our son knowing her as well maintaining friendships he's built with her younger kids.

No doubt, Paula is a superstar!!!

Fantastic childminder

Paula has been our childminder since our daughter was 9 months old. One of our main requirements when searching for childcare was that we wanted our daughter to be looked after in a home which has the same values as us. Our daughter is now 2.5yrs old and enjoys every day she spends with Paula. As we have another baby on the way, we will be regrettably leaving Paula in September 2015. We couldn't have asked for a better environment for our daughter and feel so lucky that we have had the chance to get to know Paula and her family.
