Our son has been going to Pam since he started Reception, and he is now in Year 6. Over the years, her home has genuinely become like a second home to him, and he always enjoys going there.

Pam is so much more than just a childminder to us, she is our support network. We don’t have much support elsewhere, so knowing that our son is safe, happy and cared for by someone we completely trust means everything to us.

Pam always goes above and beyond for the children. She arranges special days and celebrations, takes them to the park and to feed the ducks, and will often treat them on a Friday after they’ve had a great week. She provides meals and snacks and always makes sure our son is happy and comfortable in her care.

She is caring, compassionate and incredibly attentive. Whatever the circumstances, she always makes sure our boy feels safe and supported, whether that is walking to and from school, helping him with his schoolwork or supporting his general development and confidence.

Pam has also always been extremely flexible. If my husband or I ever need to change or swap a day, she does everything she can to support us, which has made such a difference to our family.

Since being with Pam, our son has been supported throughout his education and development and has come on leaps and bounds. Pam also completes a journal with the children, which is a lovely way for parents to see what they have been doing and the memories they have made during their time with her.

Her prices have always been extremely reasonable and offer amazing value for the level of care and service she provides. Her home is always clean and welcoming, and her Ofsted inspections consistently reflect the care, attention and commitment she gives to the development of every child in her care.

Nothing is ever too much trouble for Pam. She goes above and beyond every single day, and without her support over all these years, we genuinely don’t know where we would be.

We couldn’t recommend Pam highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their child, just as we have been.
