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.
