Our daughter joined Paola’s “Sweet Home” setting just as she turned one. We have two older children who had been looked after by a nanny in our home, so moving to a childminder was new and somewhat daunting, and I studied the reviews and consulted other client/parents - all of whom were glowing in their praise - before selecting Sweet Home. I am delighted to be adding my own, glowing review one year later, as my daughter starts her second year there.

Paola is a deeply caring and committed childminder who built a strong bond with our child very quickly, and put me at ease immediately with timely updates as well as a photo record. My daughter is extremely happy in her setting, and has made huge strides in terms of development and confidence in a short space of time. Paola’s background at Montessori is evident in the structure and skill she brings to the setting, which nevertheless feels warm and homely.

We feel extremely lucky to have found Paola; she is an asset to the Wimbledon childcare provision and I have no hesitation in recommending her.
