I simply cannot recommend Paula and Molly highly enough. They have looked after my youngest child this summer, and I have been amazed by how much his confidence has grown, alongside his language development and ability to navigate new situations.

As a parent of three, I’ve experienced several different childcare settings, and I struggle to imagine anywhere improving on their approach. They have got the balance between nurturing, gentleness, development opportunities and genuine interest absolutely spot on. My child absolutely loved every day he spent with them.

He can be quite shy and takes time to warm up to new people and situations, but Paula and Molly took the time to get to know him, recognise his individual interests and adapt their care to meet his needs. That made such a difference, and was hugely appreciated by both of us.

They were also incredibly kind and flexible with me, which is so valuable when juggling multiple children alongside work.

We feel very lucky to have found them, and I’m genuinely sad that our time with them has come to an end. They have given him such a lovely summer, and I know he’ll carry the confidence and independence he’s developed with him for a long time. They are a brilliant team, and I suspect they won’t be available for long, anyone who gets a place with them will be very lucky indeed!
