My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Debbie I live with my husband, I have two grown up children who no longer live at home and we have a 6year old and 3year old grandaughter. I have been a registered childminder for 11years and worked in Early Years settings for over 20 years.
I have a warm and welcoming home, I hope to offer a continuity of care as close to their home environment as possible. I aim to encourage children to develop at their own pace. I have a safe, happy, clean home with a wide range of toys and activities for all ages. We do lots of craft activities and I plan activities around the children’s interests and ages to engage them for learning and development in a fun way.
We attend local playgroups in the morning a few times a week and soft play. We visit parks and farms and have lots of seasonal walks I love my job and have been lucky in having looked after so many children and have made some lovely friends in the parents who I keep in contact with . I find it is rewarding watching children learn, grow and achieve new things.
I am Ofsted inspected and regulated the same way as any Early Years settings.

Below are the latest reviews for Debbie. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
I found Debbie in February 2014 when my son was 19 months after a bad experience with 2 different nurseries... By this point I'd lost all faith in childcare but had to continue working.
As soon as I met Debbie I knew I'd found a diamond and that my son would be happy in her care. Her home is welcoming and she treats the children as if they are her own. My 9 month daughter also joined her October last year.
She does a range of age appropriate activities, has a lovely garden and takes the children on regular outings to playgroups etc.
She always kept me up to date with developments and I could track my children's progress via an app called tapestry.
I always found Debbie to be 1000% reliable, flexible and she goes above and beyond to support parents of the children in her care.
We are all going to miss her!
