My little boy has been with Paula since he was 9 months old when I had to return to work. Paula would send me photos so I could see he was happy which really helped a worried mum. He's learnt so much and has made some good friends. Paula has made us feel like part of her family and my son has a really nice bond with her. For anyone wanting a homely, loving setting for their little one, I would recommend Paula in a flash!!

My son has been going to Paula's for the last four years.He has always absolutely loved going and has always talked very warmly of Paula and his experiences of being with Paula. Paula made my son feel very welcome and Im sure him being with Paula helped him settle at school more quickly.Paula has always been on hand to help with emergencies and because her vast charity work she has a fantastic reputation in our community.My son is now reaching the age where he no longer needs to go . Infact last year he continued going one night per week just because he loved going to Paula's so much and feeling so included in the lovely atmosphere she provides. We will always keep in touch with her.she is fab.

Paula was the first person I had to leave my daughter with just before she turned 1 and she made it so comfortable and pleasant for me as I was very nervous about leaving her with other people at first. Lola absolutely loved it there and didn't even look back when I dropped her off at the door, and made so many friends with not only the younger children but the older ones too! Paula really does treat them as if they are her own and I wish we didn't have to leave to go somewhere a little closer to my work. Thank you again Paula xxxx

Ruth (Mum) Paula is more than a childminder, she has also become a fantastic friend! She was warm and welcoming from day one and has a manner that instantly put me at ease leaving my daughter and son with her. Both have had an incredibly positive experience and have blossomed under her care, she really does care for the children she looks after as if they were her own! I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!!! All information from school is passed on instantly and communication is always excellent! I'm gutted and the kids are gutted that they won't be going back in September (due to my maternity leave only!) :-) please don't just take my word for it, below is their own review of their time with Paula...
Alex (age 4) I had a good time at Paula's. She is kind and has lots of toys. I miss Paula upto the moon.
Amber (age 11) Paula is the best childminder ever, she listens to you, she has loads of things to do and you're never bored. If it's a special occasion we get to do special activities such as making cards. Paula is very helpful and kind, she thinks about other people and is always fair. If you're good all week you get sweets on Friday! The other children are friendly and you play with everyone. :-)

Hi, my children have been going to Paula for the last 3 years and I can honestly say that during that time I have had no problems whatsoever. Paula has been fantastic in all aspects of my children's childcare and my kids really love her and enjoy going, so the whole experience has been stress free. Paula is extremely reliable which is so important when you have to leave your children and go to work. She is helpful and flexible and will always try to accommodate your needs, and I just feel that my children are so well cared for and safe. She is lovely natured, with a caring and friendly approach to the children, and if she has had to discipline my children she will always advise me of the reasons why, and has always done this in a sensitive way. She is a really positive person and this really shows through all the praise and compliments she gives to the kids and parents. I have never once known Paula not to be smiling or approachable, she has a wonderful personality, a great sense of humour and you can see that children just want to be around her. She is also very community spirited and does a lot of work for local charities, and has raised thousands of pounds in her spare time. What else can I say, thank you Paula for everything you have done for us over the last few years, you've been a star x
