My Summary
About Me
I'm a qualified and registered childminder living in the St Stephens area of St Albans, close to both the M1 and M25. I have an 11 year old daughter at secondary school, and an 8 year old son who goes to Prae Wood School.
After having my daughter in 2012 I decided that I wouldn't be able to return to my old office based job. I had always wanted to work with children, and loved every minute of watching my little girl grow and develop. After a lot of thought I decided to take the plunge and retrained as a childminder. I haven't looked back since-I absolutely love what I now do!!
I have been working as a registered childminder ever since. My overall aim is to provide the loving, fun care for other children that I want my children to receive.
I strongly believe that children develop and thrive in loving, secure environments where their carer takes the time to get to know them fully as an individual. I also believe that variety is important, and therefore take children out every day. We walk a lot, and I have both ZSL zoo and willows farm memberships. I also go on regular trips to the library, park and attend a number of play groups.
I was rated as "good" during my last ofsted inspection.
I have a pet dog

Probably the nicest lady you’ll ever meet! Our 3yr old had been going to Debbie’s since 2019 and she loves it there. All of the children are fab and they go out lots to Willows and Whipsnade + the park etc. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Debbie to anyone!
