FIVE STAR - highly recommend

Reviewed

I highly recommend Paula and Shannon.

My son started at Paula’s setting when he had just turned two. I was nervous sending him, especially due to him being very shy around new people. However, seeing how happy the other children were during the first drop off/collection put me at ease straight away.

The setting itself is beautiful, offering the children an open indoors and outdoors space and a range of toys to play with aiding their learning and development. I could not believe how quickly my son progressed being at Paula’s. He went from not speaking much, to putting sentences together, singing ABC and counting . He became more confident and developed beautiful relationships with the other children.

Paula and Shannon both have a very caring and attentive manner. They make the children feel at ease and a part of the family from day one. Although they are busy, they always had time to give a detailed hand-over at collection. Paula also provides updates throughout the day, keeping you informed how the children are and providing pictures of them participating in activities. Me and my son loved looking back at the photos at the end of the day, while he would be telling me about all the fun activities he had participated in.

My son attended Paula’s for a year and a half. Unfortunately, we had to leave due to moving area. My son often still reminds me of the fun he had at Paula’s and talks about the friendships he formed there. We will both miss Paula and Shannon dearly. I cannot recommend them enough .
