curiousgeorge11 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I wanted to post a recommendation for Dulwich Childcare and Paula, as she was a big help to me with Childcare when my second child was born early. Not having any family in the UK, I was quite concerned as to what I would do should such a situation arise. I rang Dulwich Childcare and spoke to Paula in early February, and she put together an emergency Childcare plan for my toddler, that covered all possible Childcare needs (weekends, middle of the night etc...). I then had the opportunity to meet my emergency nanny, and have her look after my son. Lo and behold, my second child was born 24 hours before my mum arrived earlier this month, and the Childcare plan worked brilliantly. Our emergency nanny showed up very early in the morning, my son was happy to be left with her, and my husband and I were able to go into hospital without concern for the well being of our toddler. From being very stressed about what I would do should labour start early, to having it happen, Paula was a huge help, and I can't recommend her or her agency highly enough.

minnie Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Another recommendation for Paula and Dulwich Childcare. Our nanny was recently not able to come to work and Paula had an emergency nanny with us in an hour who was absolutely fantastic Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42786-dulwich-childcare-recommendation/#findComment-736327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaska721 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Another recommendation for Dulwich Childcare (Paula Forbes). We used a babysitter through this agency last night and it was the first time we've ever used an agency - usually we rely on my parents. The babysitter was superb and our 2 year old daughter took to her immediately. It was a pleasure to deal with Paula and we'll definitely contact her again for any future childcare needs.

rafinoor Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I just wanted to post a recommendation for the Dulwich Childcare Agency run by Paula Forbes. I am a freelance TV producer and was offered a job at short notice ? I had to get childcare in place very quickly.After 3 years as a stay at home mum I was nervous about returning and really worried about having someone look after my children! I had not really used childcare before.I contacted Paula and immediately was struck by her calm and kind manner. She understood my position and my specific childcare needs. Within a day Paula had 3 potential nannies for me to talk to. Erin was absolutely wonderful- very kind and engaged with the children immediately. The kids loved her and I was able to focus on work without worrying. I would not hesitate to contact Dulwich Childcare again.

jLo Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi everyone, just wanted to echo the recommendations - Paula is a marvel! I got in touch yesterday evening when my babysitter for tonight fell through, she has arranged a carer already! I'm very grateful and amazed at the speed of her service. All the carers we have had through Dulwich Childcare have been wonderful and I'm sure tonight's will be no exception.
