Our son has attended Pam’s Daycare since April 2021. We had trouble settling him at nursery and with the first childminder we tried - with Pam it was a completely different experience. Pam went above and beyond to make sure to get to know our son and our family and help him to be comfortable with her and the setting so the settling in was as easy as possible. She is a natural with children with a warm, affectionate and enthusiastic approach. Our son also adores Tonio (Pam’s assistant and husband) and Shico (the most laid back and gentle spaniel I have met!).

The setting is brilliant and we particularly like that the children spend so much time outdoors, whether in the covered area of the garden or through the daily trips to the nearby park. Pam puts a lot of thought into the activities and themes which she plans for the children on a daily basis. Our son frequently comes home with new words or skills learned at Pam’s and has even picked up a few words of Portuguese!

Pam is great at keeping in contact and provides daily updates with photos/ videos which lets us see how our son is getting on and how much he is enjoying his day!

We use the pick-up/ drop-off service which is a great time-saver. Our son loves being picked up and going in the car with Tonio and the other children. Tonio always takes the time at the end of the day to give us an update on how our son’s day has been, how he has slept, what he has eaten etc.

We are so happy we found Pam and her family and cannot recommend her highly enough.
