Paul & Caroline have been looking after my little boy Sebastian since he was 6 months old. He warmed to them straight away and took very little time to settle in. Paul & Caroline provide 6hrs worth of settling in time and I would say by 3hrs worth Sebi was very much happy and secure with them both. Ever since then he has been very happy to see them every morning when I drop him off, when they open the door to him he greets them with lots of smiles and more often than not flapping arms and legs which shows his excitment!

They provide all the food, snacks and drinks for Sebi, and he has a daily diary which tells me how much he has eaten, his nap times and nappy changes. It also tells me how Sebi has spent his day and includes photos, which is lovely to see as I feel I have been a part of his day even when i'm at work!

Paul and Caroline have a range or activties and toys avaliable to the children to suit their age and ability. When I did a visit what really struck me was the positive and engaging learning enviroment that was being provided for the children. All the children were engaged in stimulating activties and were all sociable with one another. Sebi settled in with the other children straight away and loves all the toys that are provided for him. He came home the other week with his first piece of art work for Father's day which was lovely to see!

Paul & Caroline take the children out to different venues during the week, including Ugly Bugs, Keynsham Park and local farms, all of which provide Sebi with new and exciting experiances. They also stick to your child's rountine to the letter that you have set out, which was very important to me so as to keep consist stability for Sebi.

Caroline follows the EYFS and does regular observations of Sebi which enable her to plan his next steps for learning and development, so I know Sebi is being engaged in activites which will suit his needs and allow for his continuing development.

I would highly recommend Paul & Caroline to anyone looking for quality childcare. I have been extremely happy with the care, love and nuturing that they have provided for Sebi that I feel exceptionally happy and secure in my mind that Sebi is safe, happy and content while I am at work. I work in a school myself and serveral parents also used Paul and Caroline as childminders for their children when they were younger and could not sing their praises enough. They are truly fantastic childminders.
