Pauline is a childminder with a difference. I took John to her for a trial and the result was outstanding, that was the end of our search.

Pauline is professional and would give me a daily update of John's day. John's activities varied from crafts to going for play groups. During good weather they would go out to the allotment. Other times they would spend time watching and learning the fish swimming in her pond.
Days in are equally activities packed, ranging from playing with diverse toys, to crafts or playing with two big pianos in the house. John really enjoyed this.

Pauline backs up all this with photos and would keep on updating me. This way I've always been a part of John's growth.

Pauline's house is clean and safe for the children to play. There is a dedicated play, sleep and eat areas.
This makes it a home away from home environment.

With regard to life skills , Pauline trained John how to walk and how to talk. He's turned out to be a very confident toddler. Having Christopher and Pamela has played a big part in this . Mainly because they are warm and very friendly. This in effect helped John know how to associate and interact with other children.

I could go on and on but, If you want total peace of mind then look no further. Pauline is the real deal.
