If Pauline has space, take it!!

I could not recommend Pauline more. She has looked after both of my boys and never in the last year and a half have they been anything other than blissfully happy with her. She has different and interesting activities for them to do each day, adhering to their developmental stage. It has been a joy to watch my boys thrive under her care and leaving her is one of the hardest things we've had to do!

There is a strong family feel in her home, it's warm, clean and full of the most wonderful toys! Each child has their own cot, in their own room so they are properly rested and refreshed. Mealtimes are around the kitchen table which only encourages great table manners and a healthy relationship with food.

Pauline always goes the extra mile to keep the children in her care occupied and learning. They go to all sorts of playgroups, museums, Vauxhall City Farm, they once visited the fire station, parks, playgrounds and libraries. (all pre Covid, but even now they are doing as much as they can within the current government guidelines). She grows fruit, veg and sunflowers which she encourages the children to help with by watering them, observing them grow, harvesting, and of course eating them!

On a rainy day they are kept amused with craft, building blocks, messy play, reading and singing. My son is constantly singing nursery rhymes and songs, all thanks to Pauline.

I could go on all day about how brilliant she is! She is heaven sent and our whole family will miss her when we move out of London.
