Little Seeds's Reviews

Exceptional Childminder

Our son has been with Paula for over 16 months and we are all sad to leave due to a relocation. Paula has gone above and beyond what we would have ever expected, hence our son talks about her daily!
Our son has grown in her home care setting, benefitted from regular day trips and enjoyed socialising with other children through Paula's network of other childminders. Paula has also offered advice when asked and we have been very lucky she has given our son such a good start. Big shoes to fill as we move on.

Touch of Class

Paula's approach is truly unique, evident from our initial discussions about our baby. The questions and attention to detail she provides are unlike anything I've encountered elsewhere. What distinguishes her is the way she involves both my partner and me in our baby's journey of activities and development. As you can imagine, our baby genuinely enjoyed every moment spent with her.

Without a doubt, I would trust Paula to care for your baby.

Hello Femi,

Thankyou kindly for your feedback.

It was a pleasure to have your child in my care. Your little one had lots of fun, and it was wonderful to see how much he was learning through his play supported by the mini outings to different social settings that he was able to go on, and friendships that developed over the weeks.
Working in partnership with yourself and partner aided in supporting your little one on his journey of discovery.

All the best to you all for the coming new year.

Fantastic, enthusiasic & warm childminder

Paula came to our rescue when we unexpectedly needed childcare over summer for our 3yo daughter. She settled in immediately and really loved going to Paula's. Paula is very warm, calm and easy to deal with. While our daughter was there they were always out and about going for walks and to playgroups. We particularly liked that Paula gets the children involved in everyday activities like picking up bits from the shop and going to the post office. Paula always seemed full of energy even after a long day with the children and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Hi Hannah,

Thanks for this review, it was a pleasure having your little one over the summer holidays. We had lots of exciting days out and many adventures visiting new places.

Hopefully I will see you soon when we are out and about.
All the best.

Lovely, caring Childminder

My 18 month old daughter has been going to Little Seeds for about 2 months now after a grest recommendation from a friend. We couldn't be happier, she loves it and happily goes in everyday. Paula really cares for your children like they are her own and puts lots of energy into creating lovely experiences for them every day. They go out to parks, farms and other nice places regularly. She communicates throughout the day and sends nice pictures everyday reassuring you that your child is having a great time. I couldn't recommend Paula and Little Seeds anymore!

It is my pleasure to welcome your litlle one in, when she arrives in the morning, ready for another day of fun!

Wonderful

Our son loves his days at Little Seeds. He's learning new things, and loving socialising with slightly older kids. He's so fond of Paula and we're really happy we found Little Seeds, as it feels like a really warm and welcoming place for his first experience of childcare outside of home. Paula communicates with us very clearly and regularly and organises fun and educational activities. Paula's experience really shines through - a setting we can trust and know our son is safe and happy in.

Hello,

it is wonderful to have your liittle one with us. He enjoys his days with us and is constantly finding ways to keep himself busy, with all what is going on thorughout the day. .

Lovely childminder

We booked emergency care with Paula during half term week and she was very accommodating. My little girl settled instantly and loved every minute she spent with her. She was taken out for walks and even visited a dentist. Paula is very caring and you can tell she's got years of experience in the field. I will not hesitate to book her services again in the future. My girl keeps asking to go to Paula's school. 😍

Hi
Thanks for such lovely feedback.

Happy I was able to help you out.
So glad to hear your little one enjoyed her days here and great to hear she’s asking about going to Paula’s house.

Enthusiastic, caring and kind childminder

Our son has been looked after by Paula since he was 11 months old. Paula offered us two settling in mornings and it was apparent our son was very comfortable in her care . Paula has a warm and friendly approach, whilst being focused on age appropriate development. We appreciate our son being with a range of different aged children. We also believe he benefits from the days out to meet other childminders, libraries and trips to the local park.
We feel very lucky to have found Paula at Little Seeds.

Hi Macarena,
It is a pleasure to care for your little boy. Its also wonderful to see how much he has developed in the last year.
He makes the most of every opportunity he gets to learn, and this is great to see.

Great, reliable, flexible and very professional

Paula is very professional and reliable, always gives support and advise when needed and is very loving and caring towards the children.
She does fun activities and plenty of outings, actively monitors the children’s development and stimulates them whenever needed.
My son loves going there now, even though he is not the easiest getting used to new places and being without mum or dad.
Really recommended.

Hi Laura,
It great to see how your little one has settled and enjoy their days.

Lovely homely Childcare

Paula looks after my son Luca once a week. She provides such a high standard of care and appears to put her heart into her job.
Luca often comes back with paintings and I always get a lovely handover from her and pictures sent to my phone. Luca always appears really happy to be looked after by Paula.
Paula is friendly and caring and I always feel reassured my son is being looked after well.
Paula is professional in the care she provides. She communicates well and is very accommodating in her care.
She has a lovely little unique Childcare Service. Her house is beautiful and clean and I would highly recommend her to others.
