Paloma has been a nanny and then a childminder for our son for more than 2 years now. Paloma is like a home away from home for our son. We can rest assured our son is in good hands when he’s with her. Paloma will plan various activities / play groups for our kid so he gets the breadth and depth of different experience such as singing, dancing, playing with different toys, crafts, museums. Paloma is like family to us. Paloma is punctual and almost never sick. She is extremely fair in all her transactions with us. Her communication and feedback for our son is always on point and clear. Thanks to Paloma, our son is fluent in Spanish. Our son looks forward to Mondays so he can spend time with Paloma and Lis. Thank you Paloma for everything you do for us.

We hired Paloma to look after our second child Ava when she was 18 months old and she was with us until Ava went to school. We absolutely adored Paloma and her daughter Lis who is still one of Ava’s best friends. Paloma looked after Ava and Lis together. Paloma is incredibly hard working (was literally never ill… as far as I can remember) and so caring and diligent with the children. She always had fun days and activities planned and was far better at crafting than me! I’d hire her in a flash again. Tory

My daughter has been with Paloma for almost one year and it has been one of the best decisions we have made for her. Paloma cares for each child as if they were her own and due to the small nature of her setting, is able to provide so much focused care and attention. They go out every morning and do some lovely educational and age appropriate activities in the afternoon. We get regular updates and Paloma is always available to chat through anything on our minds. She makes nutritious meals every day. Our daughter is happy at drop off and pick up, we feel as though she is with family!
