If I could, I would stay at home full time to look after my 18 month old son. Unfortunately I can't, so have needed to find someone I trust to look after the most important person in my world on the days that I have to work. I spent time visiting almost all of the local nurseries and didn't find anywhere that I felt happy with. I've known Pauline for a long time, but she isn't very local to me, but I knew she would be someone that I could trust and decided to give it a go. I drive for an hour to get my son to Pauline before work and over an hour again to collect him afterwards, but it is worth it. I know my son loves being with Pauline, her home is warm and welcoming, she is kind and caring, the care is second to none. My son is very attached to Pauline and I know that he is safe with her. Pauline is very experienced in child care and it shows in her interactions and the level of care provided. It feels like a home away from home for my son, as safe place where he can play and learn when I need to work. Communication with Pauline is easy, she is very accommodating, she is honest and reliable. I fully recommend Pauline to anyone needing child care support.

Finding the right person to care for your child is never easy, but with Aunty Pauline, we struck gold. From the very first day, she welcomed our child, with open arms and a heart full of love. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine affection make her feel less like a childminder and more like family—she truly is like a second mother to my Lovely Daughter (LD).
Aunty Pauline creates a home-from-home environment that is both nurturing and incredibly safe. I always leave my LD in her care knowing she is loved, well-looked after, and completely secure. Her home is filled with laughter, learning, and the kind of gentle guidance that helps children flourish emotionally and socially.
What sets Aunty Pauline apart is her flexibility and understanding. As any parent knows, life doesn’t always run on schedule, and her willingness to accommodate changes with grace and compassion has made our lives so much easier.
My LD absolutely adores her, and it's easy to see why. Every day spent with Aunty Pauline is full of joy, discovery, and care. We feel so blessed to have her in our lives and would recommend her to any parent looking for a loving, safe, and truly exceptional childminder.

Pauline is a lifesaver. I am definitely an attachment parent and struggled with the mum guilt when leaving my 8-month-old daughter and then 2 years later my 8-month-old son with a childminder to go back to my career. Very quickly, both children settled well on both instances and with Pauline's calm, patient, loving demeanour coupled with a direct approach that is firm but fair, I know my kids are in an environment where they feel loved and safe but also know the boundaries and know to respect and treat the other children nicely.
My now 2-year-old son now calls her 'Nanny' as she really has become part of the family over the years. Both of my children have thrived in her care, all the children she takes care of are clearly happy, fulfilled and play so nicely together. I cannot recommend Pauline enough; she is truly someone who has taken all the stress out of returning to work. Also, I know the children have a great routine there. They attend playgroup most mornings with Pauline where they play with a variety of toys and meet a wider group of children, then retreat back to her home for lunch and some more play and down time. It gives a great blend of one-on-one time as well as teaching them to socialize with slightly larger groups, preparing them for nursery then school. My kids are both so happy and enjoy going to her.
As a parent, she has been nothing but flexible and understanding. We can always talk to her when timings have to change or if I need additional hours. She flexes and tries her very best to accommodate within reason and we have a good open relationship where I know I can trust her fully. Absolutely love working with Pauline - my biggest fear about us moving area is not having Pauline move with us!
