Paula has looked after our daughter on a 1 or 2 day-a-week basis for the last two years. Throughout this time she has been nothing short of fantastic. Everything she says on her profile is accurate. Our daughter loves her days with Paula; none of which are ever the same. She goes on little outings on foot to the woods, or further afield by car to parks and other interesting places (pet shops, garden centres etc). Other times she stays at Paula's very well equipped house playing in or outside. Paula has really encouraged her creativity and she comes home with some lovely pieces as well as goodies they have cooked together. Paula has a wealth of experience and still keeps herself fully up to date with new ideas. She was particularly helpful in supporting us when our daughter needed a little help with improving pronunciation and speech. Paula liaises with us very closely and keeps a lovely written and photographic record of all the activities. The atmosphere in her setting is always very calm and friendly and she successfully encourages kind and thoughtful behaviour between the children.

We have been extremely lucky to have had Paula as our daughter's child-minder for so long. I would unreservedly recommend her.
