I feel I shouldn't refer to Debbie as a childminder as she really is more like a friend.
I left it to the last minute to locate a childminder and was pleased I chose Debbie.
My daughter settled within 2 weeks and I have had no issues since.
She has been going since the age of 1 and will be completing 2 years in September.
She is always happy to come everyday and always talks about Debbie. Which I find is a good thing as I know she is happy and this is an important aspect for us mums!.
Being at Debbie's is like being at nursery. My daughter has learnt so much and I am sure she will learn even more. And all the days out are really an added bonus as the children get so much fresh air and see so many exciting things.
My second daughter also loves going to in the holidays.
You will not be disappointed with Debbie at all. Full of advice and experience and really it is home away from home for the children.
Thanks Debbie x

Debbie was recommended to me by a friend after her son went there and still did at times
for after school club.
Debbie looked after my son from around 7 months of age. He's now nearly 4. We only moved Ted due to us leaving the area and moving back to Leicestershire.
I cried for days on the build up to Teds last day.
Debbie is like family to us, treated Ted like family and also was a great friend / family figure with us as our family were so far away.
Ted loved going to her house, and cried when he left her house, rather than at drop off! Debbie is an all round amazing childminder and to the next child who will be attending, what a great start in life you're getting!
To the parents/ guardians who need Debbie, your child/children are in the best place you could wish for!

Words can not describe how fantastic Debbie is. She is such a reliable, caring, loving, creative and welcoming childminder. My son loves going to Debbie's, they always have fun filled days out. I've lost count how many times he's been to Legoland. It's wonderful to see so many photos throughout the week to keep me updated on what they have done, keeps me going at work. My son often wants to stay longer and play.
She also has a beautiful homely home and lovely family. Finley has learnt so much and constantly developing. I would highly recommend Debbie.
Please feel free to contact me for a further recommendation.

She took care of my daughter and I am very happy. Very nice and caring person. Large house, large room just for children - small home-nursery. Trips to the park, other places including Legoland (Windsor) - very frequent. Very positive person. I am very happy and my child also - strongly recommended. Paulina
