My Summary
About Me
****Currently full****
Hello, my name is Paula. I have been an Ofsted Registered Childminder since 2014. I live in Easthampstead, Bracknell. I am married with four grown up children.
At my setting, Little Darling's Childminding, I offer a safe, happy and loving home-from-home environment that allows children to learn, grow and develop.
I provide a wide variety of indoor and outdoor toys and a range of activities including arts and crafts, sensory play, musical instruments, story time, baking and much more. I also go on regular outings with the children including trips to farms, parks, and soft play. I also meet up with other local childminders each week, allowing the children to play and socialise with others.
Children at Little Darling’s grow in confidence and self-esteem and build strong relationships with the other children here in my setting. Throughout the day, I share photos and updates with parents of the activities we have been doing.
We have a little Westie dog named Archie. He does not moult and is a hypoallergenic breed. Archie has his own space away from the children in the house and in the garden, and he is never left unsupervised with the children.
I am fully insured, first aid trained, DBS checked and a member of PACEY.
Please feel free to message me to discuss your childcare requirements.

Paula is professional, caring and a truly wonderful childminder. She has been so flexible and helpful caring for our son. He joined Paula in June 2020 and leaving for school September 2023. Throughout that time, our son has been very happy and loved attending Paula's setting. She has a lovely spacious play area full of great variety of toys. Her garden also lovely, full of great toys and often takes the kids to the park and on trips to soft plays and other outings. We fully recommend Paula to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing and fun setting! Paula is one of a kind and we very much appreciate finding her!
Paula was the first childminder my son had ever been to. He settled so quickly, he would be so excited in the car when he knew we had pulled up outside. Paula is such a lovely person and so good with the children. Lovely toys to play with inside and outside. I always got regular updates with lovely photos. I would recommend Paula to anyone, can’t thank her enough for looking after my little one the way she did!
Paula has taken care of both my children on and off for years.
She is so lovely, calm, patient, accommodating and friendly and my kids adore her.
Her childcare environment looks like an amazing nursery full of all kinds of toys and equipment for the kiddies and she also has a section in her garden that is a kitted out playground from them too.
During my kid's time with her i really enjoyed the photo updates of my little ones, they also look professional as well haha. I have hung some of the photos around my house.
Would recommend her to anyone looking.
Paula has been childminder to our now 6 and 3 year old since April 2015.
During this time she has proved to be extremely helpful, kind, caring and flexible.
Paula provides a home from home environment and our children have settled since day one.
The communication is frequent and Paula clearly enjoys watching and assisting with their development.
Overall we could not ask for a better childminder and would highly recommend her services.
