As a single parent going back to work,deciding on which childcare provider was difficult. I decided to go with Paola as she was local to me, and recommended by another parent. My daughter has been going there for 7 years and she loves it. Paola is absolutely amazing, and very understanding to the needs of the children and families. She is very inclusive and ensures all children are treated to there individual needs. My daughter is on the spectrum and Paola has been brilliant with her. Not only is she great with the children she takes time to talk to you too. You are never rushed out the door, at pick up, which can make your day seem brighter if you've had a bad day. Working in a Children's Centre and being in the Early years for 20 years I know the importance of a good early years experience and Paola is by far the best. I always recommend my families to her as I feel confident she ticks all the boxes. Paola takes the children out at all opportunities, which helped develop my daughter's physical development. She plans lots of lovely activities for the children which my daughter has enjoyed. She celebrates many occasions for example she does Mother's Day crafts which gave my daughter the opportunity to do something for me.
Paola gets involved with the children's play and doesn't leave them too it. She comforts them when needed and helps to build resilience. She is very loving towards the children and it's a home from home experience. Paola takes lots of photos, which she sends to us, so we can see what the children are doing. Her set up is very welcoming and child friendly. She proudly displays the children's work in her living room which is nice to see when you go in. She cooks lovely healthy meals, daily, which my daughter loves.
My experience with Paola has been really positive. She has truly been there for us over the past 7 years. My daughter see's Paola more as an Aunty and her experience there has been great.
