PamelaW's Reviews

Childminding hero

Pamela at Our Play Days was our last-minute hero as we had a nursery place for our daughter starting after our return to work date – so we needed a local childminder to bridge the gap.

In those eight weeks our one-year-old absorbed way more than we could have imagined. Pamela switched on her imagination and helped develop her speaking, eating and communication skills. She also encouraged self-feeding, baking, drawing, singing, dancing, and all sorts of other creative skills we hadn’t attempted with her yet! She was always excited to arrive every morning and often didn’t want to leave at the end of the day!

Our daughter had the absolute time of her life in Pamela’s care and if we lived closer we would have loved to keep using her. The daily debrief at pick-up time and the photos help also reassure us as parents that our child was happy.

We are keeping in touch with Pamela to share our daughters development with her and maybe there is a time in the future where may need her again.

We can’t applaud her more loudly.

Amazing childminder

Pamela has been looking after my son as a childminder for the past couple of months and we could not be happier with her. She is providing such a supporting and nourishing environment for him on a daily basis. As soon as we met with Pamela we knew that she would provide something out of the ordinary. With great attention to detail, from the organic food, to the playful educational activities and well planned outings, Pamela and her team are providing outstanding care for our boy.
Pamela is well spoken and we feel that she truly cares for the best of our son which is such a comfort when it comes to your first child starting childcare. We also get daily reports on how the day has been, what he has eaten, how he has slept etc and pictures capturing this.

Creative, thoughtful and professional

Pamela and her team are wonderful and my little one is absolutely thriving there. Pamela is kind and thoughful and very respectful of my child and the other children.

Pamela is also very focused on the children's development, which is very important to me, and she has helped significantly with my LO's walking and comprehension; she is able to confidently adapt activities to the different development levels. They have lots of fun and Pamela thinks creatively to come up with ideas we can join in such as taking seeds home to grow.

Pamela is very organised and responsive to my needs as a parent which must be tricky with lots of parents' and children's requirements to balance.

Pamela consistantly goes above and beyond, for example she recently invited all the children and parents over at Easter for a egg hunt and party food. She had gone to so much effort to decorate the house etc, it was so thoughtful.

Every morning my child giggles when they see Pamela's front door, they light up when they see Pamela, and never wants to leave in the evening!

Thanks to Pamela I had a smooth return to work and didn't have to worry about my child. I knew they were safe and happy...and the lovely pictures I received of my LO everyday really helped.

Thank you Pamela and lovely team!

Pamela is new to the area and has been babysitting for us recently, she's great, lovely with the kids, they took to her straight away. We are hoping to work with Pamela over the longer term with some child minding initially on an ad hoc basis, but maybe more. We recommend her and wish her well growing her business.
