Paula has cared for my son Eddie 4 days a week from the age of 9 months until starting school. Throughout that time I could not have wanted any more from a childminder. Eddie has developed a fantastic relationship with Paula and she has provided a safe, fun and stimulating environment throughout his early years. She regularly takes Eddie and the other children in her care to toddler groups, picnics in the woods, soft play and days trips including Butterfly World, local splashparks etc. Playing and learning outdoors is something that I felt was important for Eddie and certainly something Paula does regularly which they love. She will be very much missed by Eddie. Thanks Paula.
