Paula has cared for our nearly 2 year old boy on several occasions over the past few months if our regular childminder is unavailable (after also being recommended by our childminder). Paula has always been super accommodating as we're usually calling her at short notice.

From day one our boy settled with her really well. He's only ever had one childminder of whom he sees four whole days a week, so we were a bit worried the first time round in leaving him with someone new, but you can tell he really loves it at Paula's place, and that is testament to her kind and uplifting personality.

The space is great and always looks clean and tidy. Plenty of toys and activities to keep them busy and motivated throughout the day. Freshly home cooked wholesome meals of which we get a breakdown of each morning. Our son also doesn’t eat meat and again Paula is very accommodating and gives him interesting food choices. When we pick up our boy he's always so chatty, telling us about everything he's done during the day. You can tell he's happy and that means a lot!

Always a pleasure communicating with Paula too.

All in all, she's great and we'd highly recommend her.
