I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care and support Deglys has provided for my son from 1 year old to starting school this September. She's not only helped him develop outstanding educational skills, such as writing his name, recognising sounds, and numbers ahead of his age, but also instilled essential life skills like independence and self-care. What truly sets her apart is the emotional intelligence and kindness she's nurtured in him, teaching him to treat others with respect and stand up for himself. Although I'm sad he's moving on to school, I know he's well-prepared thanks to Deglys. I wish he could stay with her forever! 5 stars isn't enough – she's truly made a lasting impact on my child's life.

Tia Deglys, as my son lovingly calls her, is an amazing childminder. My son has been at her setting for over two years and he was very well looked after. The one to one attention he has received made a big difference to his confidence, reading, writing and learning abilities. My son would always speak very well of Tia Deglys' delicious hot meals. Her setting has always been very flexible to accomodate my work schedule and I'm so grateful to her for preparing my son so well for school. He is now well settled at school and has learnt all his basics very well at her setting. I couldn't be more grateful for all her support which has helped us raised such a wonderful and respectful little boy.

Deglys started looking after my son Alex since he was 1 year old, until he reached age of Reception. Very quickly Deglys gained my trust by her openness and enthusiasm, and most importantly, the way she was looking after my son. Since day one, Alex very quickly acclimatized himself to the new environment, new children and Deglys's family (including the most gentle dog - Cookie). The place soon became Alex's 'second home' :) Alex reached all the developmental milestones and any concerns or worries were quickly communicated with me. Deglys provided daily updates of activities by sending photos and videos, creating a lifetime of memories! Daily routine, fresh cooked food, selection of age appropriate toys and very safe, beautiful garden made Alex wanting to go to Deglys every day.
Deglys delivers in every aspect of the childcare, providing safe, kind, loving, caring and fun environment for the child to grow and flourish. I cannot recommend her enough and I am so grateful Deglys is in our lives not only as a great childminder but most wonderful friend.

Our son was with Deglys from the age of 6 months to 17 months and we can’t speak highly enough of just how excellent Deglys and her team were with his care and development. She cared for him just like her own and he met so many of his milestones while there. Her daily fresh meals were absolutely delicious! (We used to sneak bites every now and then) and the structure of learning was second to none. One of our favourite things about Deglys was how organised she was and how she carefully planned every learning activity with themes and resources. We have no doubt that one of the reasons our son developed so well in those months is because of Deglys and the team and we can’t thank them enough. If we hadn’t relocated so far, he would definitely still be with them and we miss them everyday!

There are 2 circle of of interest we considered were very important for our baby's best carer.
1- Baby's circle of influence - Loving, reliability, professionalism, good set up facilities, efficient teaching skills, passion at looking after kids' development, healthy feeding habits, and happiness.
2 - Parents' Circle of influence: Flexibility in line with our jobs, great communication skills, guidance in our child's best habits, feeding techniques, Spanish speaking and friendliness.
Deglys has taken care of Lucia for about 2 years (1 till 3 years old). Lucia has demonstrated every day at home all the learnings at the minder, in a very good disciplined manners; ie. removing her shows at the entrance, listening when talking to her, eating property and using the cutlery accordingly, kindness, following instruction and great manners when doing crafting or colouring activities.
Lucia is growing in 3 Languages and Deglys is supporting us with English and Spanish very much.
Lucia is always excited to go to Deglys' minder, she feels like at home -if not happier-, and we consider Deglys as an aunty for Lucia and a relative to us :).
We can not thank you enough for all help and guidance you have given us in raising Lucia so well an happy to the child she is now.
Deglys cooks fresh food every day for lunch and dinners for kids and kids love it. Great variety of healthy food.
Thank you for sending all the pictures and videos of Lucia every day, we now have a whole book printed with all those pics :)
I will always recommend Deglys' childminder to any parent that wishes her/his kid to be happy and an a great dynamic environment that plot a great scenario for kids to develop their best possible skills at this early age.
With best regards,
Thx

We could not of asked for better when it comes to Faicka and Deglys! They have become part of our family and treat our boys like their own! The care they provide is the best i have ever come across, with diverse learning activities and the love and care they give all the kids is just amazing!!

My daughter was cared for by Deglys from the age of 8 months until she was 4 years old. For the entire duration of my daughter's care, Deglys ensured my child was safe, felt loved, learned and eat healthy meals, including snacks.
If you are looking for a childminder that is reliable and above all, will look after your child to an incredibly high standard, then Deglys is the childminder for you and your family.

Deglys has had my daughter since she was around 6 months old she is 3 now!
She is more like an Aunty to her than a childminder my daughter truly adores her and they have a great bond.
Deglys provides a range of activities and toys to keep her occupied whilst stimulating her growing mind.
The children often go on trips and the play area is always immaculate.
Great setting for a home from home feel and peace of mind.
Highly recommended.

My daughter, has been with Deglys since she was 2 years old for over a year. In my opinion she is an excellent childminder. This is both in terms of how happy my child was and how well she has developed and also in comparison with other childminders I am aware of.
She was always kind, caring and loving towards my daughter.She looked after her very well.
Every day I was receiving a pictures of my daughter's activities and this helped me to feel involved with her care.
I was very pleased with Deglys and I can highly recommend her as a childminder for your child.
