My daughter has been going to Debs for almost 2 years and my son will be going soon as well (just having his settling in sessions st the minute). Deb is amazing! She carries on their normal home routines in terms of naps, feeds, potty training etc... She looks after them like they are her own, and they absolutely love going there. They learn lots and have so much fun. We are kept up to date with the days activities via a daily diary.
And today my daughter had the “best day ever” going on the bus to the winter gardens.
The setting is a clean, child friendly area of her house which includes a dedicated play room full of many different stimulating activities.
Could not recommend Debs enough!

I have just handed my notice in with deb because i am moving down south. This was quite hard to do as deb has been amazing! I wish i could take her with me! As a childminder she goes above and beyond. My daughter absolutly loves going there. Shes always tired when she comes back and full of smiles when she goes in the morning! I would recommend deb to anybody. She truly is a one in a million childminder and will be sadly missed by my daughter and me.
