About Me
As a former Forest School Practitioner, I have a great love of the outdoors. I am very lucky to have a purpose built cabin in my large, enclosed back garden, so the children in my care have lots of access to outdoor play. I also have an artificial grass area with a climbing frame, swings slide and sand pit for those that like to be outside exploring. I encourage the children to learn is a relaxed, friendly environment through mainly free play with some structured activities to enhance the learning of the pre-school children.
I am blessed to have 11 year old twins of my own, a fabulous husband and a small, very friendly labradoodle puppy who loves the children. I like to get out and about with children in my care and head to soft play, farms,railway museum, aquarium, forest school, Hartbeeps, children's Spanish classes, to name but a few!
I am Ofsted registered, DBS checked, have completed my Paediatric First Aid Training Course and offer 9 month to 3 year funded places. The children in my care will be well cared for, engaged and most importantly, very happy!!

Below are the latest reviews for Pamela. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Long story short I didn't reply to a message asking for details after I'd paid the deposit to secure my little ones space due to being laid up sick and they kicked him off the list - so if you go with these make sure you're glued to your phone.

Unfortunately, you were asked for important information on a number of occasions which was never received. Open channels of communication between parents and their child's childcare provider is imperative. Unfortunately I felt this was not happening and would not be in anyone's best interest to continue .
