Hello, I'm Paula and I'm 45 years old and have been Ofsted registered for 3 years.
I am based in Eltham and with-in a 5 minute walk of Deansfield primary school, also with-in walking distance of Eltham and Falconwood stations offering great commuting into London Bridge and beyond.
I'm married and have two daughters aged 10 and 11 :) we are also a family to two cats and two bunny rabbits

I have a large outside space for play and a dedicated playroom/cabin that is also located in our garden.

I offer a wide range of activities to suit all age groups and outings are a must come rain or shine as understanding the world around us is important and such fun.
All Areas of the EYFS will be covered in the setting.

Typical places we will visit are:

Parks, playgrounds
Local Farms
Playgroups (when permitted)

Home based activities:
Painting, Baking, Dressing Up, free play, feeding of the rabbits (daily) sewing seeds for eventual harvest. We will cover all important dates with-in the calendar year and acknowledge all religious celebrations.

I will offer breakfast (If required) a hot meal at lunchtime and healthy afternoon snacks.
All food will be homemade and a wide variety offered, new foods will be introduced and tasting sessions are a great way to explore.

I know from my own experience how incredibly important it is to find the right setting for each child as I also used a childminder for my own girls from a very young age.
Our setting is a warm, safe and loving home with lots of fun, learning and laughter had by all that come.

Paula has minded my daughter for a while now. I could not recommend her enough. She treated my daughter like her own, stimulating activities and home from home care.
My daughter will be a better person for having Paula in her young life.
Just amazing!

My son (12) and my daughter (10) have been going to Paula for a while now before and after school and I can honestly say we are so grateful that they do! Paula treats them like one of her family and they so look forward to spending time with her and her girls. Paula offers them care, enrichment and love and it’s obvious they’re well cared for and stimulated every time I collect them because of their beaming smiles and conversation. They have celebrated their birthdays with Paula and her family had Christmas crafts and Easter hunts as well as chilled out time. I never ever worry about my children when I know they’re with Paula. She genuinely cares about their well-being and welfare and actively facilitates a nurturing environment that they can feel safe and happy in and learn in too. Paula has a beautiful clean house and a really big garden and her home is always full of fun and laughter. Paula gives us regular updates on what they’re all up to often sending us pictures of the fun they’re all having. My daughter has an allergy to egg and Paula has never left her out of anything because of this, going out of her way to provide her with alternatives which means so much to us and our daughter. Paula provides the children with delicious healthy food (that my children have asked me to make at home - curry is now a firm favourite) and often introduces them to new foods too. My favourite so far has to be the Brussels sprout challenge - the kids have never even considered trying them at home but they’ll do anything for Paula! My children literally beg me to leave them for just a bit longer every time I arrive to collect them. Thank goodness for Paula - I don’t know what we would do without her.
