Paula is absolutely wonderful and both my children love her! They are always so excited to see her and are so happy in her home. They are always busy learning, exploring, crafting and visiting places such as playgroups, legoland, sealife and parks for Autumn walks! My children have learned so much with Paula. I am amazed at how far they have come on in her care! She is so caring and patient with the children, always supporting them while encouraging their independence when they are ready.

Paula is so accommodating and has been so flexible with childcare arrangements, helping me out on so many occassions. The whole family are so lovely and my daughter regularly talks of how much fun she has with them. They are such a kind, caring family and it really is such a happy home. Knowing my children are in such a happy home surrounded by a loving and happy family has made returning to work so easy! It really is a home from home and I can't recommend Paula highly enough! I couldn't have asked for a better family to look after my children.

Paula has looked after my little girl for a few months now and I can’t believe how much she has come on with her speaking, eating, fine and gross motor skills! She absolutely loves it there. Paula is great with communicating on how your child is getting on throughout the day! She updates you with pictures which is so nice to see. She is always taking her to fun places like Lego land, sea life and play centres. Very professional and friendly would really recommend her!
