Paula genuinely enjoys spending time with and looking after children. She is the sort of parent who stays with her child when she takes them to a birthday party, not because she doesn't want to leave them and is over protective, but because she really enjoys these events and seeing the children have fun. She always helps out at birthday parties! Lee and Paula are really down-to-earth and friendly people with a great sense of humour. My daughter has a great time at her house before and after school and never says she doesn't want to go (which she did when she was in an after school club). In fact, she enjoys it so much that she doesn't want to leave when I arrive to pick her up!

Paula has a great house, ideal for childminding as it has a large, flat garden and a playroom. She always cooks the children tasty and nutritious meals. All the children in her care get on with each other and no bad behaviour or nastiness to each other would not be tolerated. She is firm, fair and fun. She creates an atmosphere conducive to building great friendships and enjoying each other's company. The children are rarely watching television or DVDs - they are always happily and creatively playing by choice.

She is real value for money and I would recommend her to anyone. I know that my daughter is in really safe hands with her and is also happy too getting a lot from the social situation.
