I have known Pamela since my son started with her when he was only 10 months old. After having bad experiences with previous childminder, Pamela was able to give me the reassurance I needed so that I had peace of mind when it came to leaving my little one whilst I went to work. Not only did I know he was well looked after – I knew that Pamela provided a fun and exciting environment in her home, as well as fun activities outside too!

We have now used her services for 2 months and are really happy with the arrangement. My son is always clean and content when I arrive and is having so much fun that he is reluctant to leave. I am really pleased as Pamela provides a variety of activities to encourage well rounded development. She seems so attuned to the children's needs. My little one really benefits from this flexibility yet there is sufficient structure to provide stability and comfort. Pamela's nurturing patient manner seems to bring out the best in the children. I have found her really flexible, adapting to the specific needs of my little one.

While fun and engaging with the children, Pamela is very professional and reliable. I really like the updates she gives on what my child has done each day and photos send on regular basis. She is a great childminder, and it feels more like I leaving the baby with family. I cannot recommend her enough!
