Fantastic care of my premature baby
I have a 14 month old son who was ten months old when he went to Debbie's. He was ten weeks premature and had some health problems as a result. He was also extremely dependent on me, would scream if put down at all, would not sit in a high chair, take milk from a bottle etc.
Debbie and Allan have been absolutely amazing! They allowed me to shadow them for a month or so before I left him with them. I was so anxious about him not coping but since I have been leaving with them he hasn't even cried on parting with me. His development has come on immensely, he is happy, confident and loves the other babies and kids. They take him out to lovely places every day, and send pictures of the fun they are having, their communication is great and they are extremely child centered. I feel so lucky to have found Debbie and Allan to look after my son, I fully trust them to make sensible decisions in his best interests when he is with them.

We have learnt so much from you. The settling in sessions and the mirroring us on outings really helped us understand the meaning of looking after a premature baby. What an experience for us, thank you for choosing us as your childminder. We have had some real challenges and new experiences which has been great. I'm so glad we connect well together to ensure our little person has all the support that is needed. To come from a baby who just wanted to be in a carrier for comfort and security, to being a confident child, who is secure, feels a sense of trust and love is simply a reward that seemed so far from achieving so soon. We are so very pleased.
