My Summary
About Me
My husband travels a lot on business and I have 3 children, two are married and one still lives at home. I live in a semi-detached home with a very pleasant south-facing garden in a quiet and fairly upmarket street (Gledhow/Oakwood/ Roundhay).
I have a good sense of humour and am very easy going. I have been told that my patience is endless.
The children I care for love coming here and I have never had any real problems with any of them.
My Experience
I have been a registered childminder for 34 years and keep in touch with a lot of the children I have cared for, even some who have since left the UK. Many families have entrusted all of the children in the family to me and I have been able develop close relationships with the parents as well as their children. I have no plans to give up childminding.

I would highly recommend Pauline, she was simply the best for my little one.
Pauline looked after my little one till she was nearly 2 and my little one thoroughly loved her. She is very very caring, has a lovely garden and plans so much activities for the kids. From crafts, to soft play, bubbles/ paddle pool and lots of park/trip excursions.
I would 100% recommend her and am actually very sad to see my little one leave from her care. Pauline also gave a constant update about all the activities done everyday via wats app, so you would just feel at ease, seeing your little one being happy.
If you are looking for a homely home environment, a clean place, a loving, caring childminder then I would certainly recommend her.

If you want a home from home type setting for your little one, with a patient, fun and easy going caregiver, then I would highly reccommend Pauline. She has looked after both my children until the age of 3,when I felt they were ready for nursery. They both loved Pauline and her family, as did we. Pauline would often send updates on their progress when I was at work. They would always get fresh air either at the park or in her lovely back garden. There is nothing she hasn't seen or experienced which made us feel comforted and confident when they were with her.

Pauline has looked after both my children for the past year. They have enjoyed coming to her. She always has a range of interesting activities prepared: arts and crafts, outdoors activities and excursions to the park and play groups. She is caring and wants the best for the children in her care, structuring activities around their interests.
