Paula has been in our lives for 4 years, looking after both of my sons 3 full days a week, the youngest from just 9 months old. There are no words to describe how lucky we feel to have her in our children’s lives - a trusted adult who really loves them like family. Her home is clean, with a big garden and a wonderful playroom/cabin - and is filled with love and laughter. She’s full of fun - and endlessly patient!

They have lovely trips out every day, and really special outings in the school holidays. The parental guilt you feel for working full time disappears when you know they are at Paula’s - as you know they are safe, cared for and having wonderful adventures - not stuck in a nursery classroom, but out exploring the world.

They also get to interact with children of different ages - like a big extended family - and I’m sure that’s part of the reason both of my son’s have developed such lovely caring habits towards each other and towards other children.

I really cannot recommend her highly enough!
