I booked my first son Jacob a place at Debbies day care when I was still pregnant. We visited her and found her to be genuine, warm and enthusiastic. That was it , we were sold and booked a place for our unborn son.
Unfortunately our son became very poorly after birth and we later discovered he had a rare bowel condition called Hirschsprung's disease- a condition which left him with only a tiny bit of large bowel and therefore having additional care needs. I was worried when I explained things to Debbie she wouldn't want to look after him any more but we couldn't have been more wrong.

Debbie and her husband Glenn are fabulous. Debbie has taken Jacobs condition on board, and has simply run wih it listening to all the advise and requests we give her which include a special diet, administering medication , dealing with the unpleasant side of a bowel condition , and just providing much needed comfort when in pain. He is an intelligent, polite , loving little boy and we honestly feel Debbie has contributed hugely to these qualities .

The activities she does with the children are second to none; painting, crafting, sensory play, digging , splashing in puddles , woodland walks, trips to Martin mere and the local soft play - I could go on , and every single one is thoroughly enjoyed by the children who go.

My second son Max aged 1 now goes there with his big brother and also absolutely loves it!

Glenn her husband is also fantastic and is such a valuable asset. My boys love him as much as they do Debbie and I can tell - I just know they genuinely think the World of our children , and they genuinely care - that for us was incredibly important when choosing someone to care for our boys whilst we were at work!

A fantastic , passionate, caring childminder who genuinely loves her job and the children in her care.
