Like most working mums, it’s stressed at first step going back to work whilst leaving your child behind rather than 24*7 care. But I didn’t have much issue until leaving my child with Pam and Paul who’s providing delicate care to my child since day 1.
Now it’s been 9 months since we joined Pam’s “little gang family”. My child loves going to Pam’s wheres full of friendly fun atmosphere, inspiring learning from indoor Montessori play to outdoor woods, park exploring.
Despite of little one’s learning progress, it’s the fact she’s happy being there and misses being there calling Pam Paul’s names at home 😆
We’d like to thank you Pam Paul for your kind, positive, fun care and support to my child and family xx

We are absolutely delighted by the care that Pam and Paul provide our 15month daughter. She started aged 10 months and has thrived. Having no family locally and working full time means I depend heavily on this arrangement. I was so nervous about going back to work but Pam and Paul totally relieved the pressure. They are reliable and sensible. Our daughter loves going and smiles her way though the door. We have regular updates showing all the stimulating activities she enjoys both inside and outside the home. She is learning new skills daily and thanks to her little gang of friends becoming a very sociable young lady who is extremely happy. I could not be more appreciative or speak higher of her childcare.

My two children have gone to pams from a few weeks old, they have a great relationship with her and enjoy going. They have complex medical conditions which Pam manages and monitors really well, it is like home from home and a nice atmosphere. Pam is very calm and positive with the children and always provides regular updates, stimulating activities and days out to entertain the children. They learn about things like plants, how things work and enjoy creative play there. They have supported potty training and use of behaviour charts and embraced learning about emotions at my request. The environment is safe and clean with plenty of outdoor play. I would thoroughly recommend Pam

Pam has been looking after our two children (now 5 and 2) for the past four years and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Together with Paul, they provide an incredibly safe, nurturing, and above all stimulating environment for children to learn and play in. It is always great to hear from our two little ones about the many exciting and varied activities that Pam and Paul arrange for them each day, and they always come home with smiles on their faces. We are also hugely reassured by the regular, detailed and insightful feedback which Pam provides on their development and progress, which is evident of the personal level of care and attention that we can see Pam offers to the children she is looking after. Pam is an excellent communicator, entirely dependable, and above all has a wonderful personality which makes her a joy to deal with.

My son has been with Pam for 12 months now and I can’t rate her highly enough! Pam and Paul are brilliant, they are caring and supportive and send me regular updates throughout the day. My son is always learning something new, he especially loved learning about first aid and loves playing in their garden. They are always doing something new from exploring the woods to going to the farm.
I would 100% recommend Pam, she is a fantastic childminder and my son adores her, he loves his days at Pam’s with all his friends
