About Me

Hello and welcome to my Childminding Service.
I have worked as a Childminder since 1992 and throughout this time I have welcomed many families into my home. During this time I have looked after children as young as 3 weeks to 12 years of age.
I am committed to offering quality childcare to all children in my setting. It is the upmost importance to me to be working in partnership with you and to provide all children a safe, secure, clean and happy home-from-home environment. To do this I provide every child a loving environment incorporating daily activities children would normally take part in such as attending toddler groups or school, trips and visits to the park, library, shops and other places of interest to children, and age appropriate learning resources and crafts.
Each child will be encouraged to progress, learn and develop a sense of self with the aid of play activities and equipment made available to them.
In planning the EYFS we will work towards incorporating positive opportunities for all children reflecting diversity and addressing issues of race, culture, gender and disability offering each child equal access to support, development and learning. We are committed to providing a high quality childcare service for you and your child in anti-discriminatory surroundings in the following ways.

Good
22 September 2021
A recent inspection has rated this childminder as Good across all areas. Children enjoy participating in carefully planned activities that build knowledge and skills. Relationships with families are strong, and healthy lifestyles are encouraged through physical activities and health discussions. The childminder monitors children's progress well, but could improve by giving more balanced attention to those with varying confidence levels during questioning.

My daughter has been with Debbie since she was 9 months and we considered her good and calm behaviour down to the little pixies crew, although she starting to get some sass.

We have been welcomed into the family with open arms and they even came and celebrated my birthday and we have celebrated theirs.

Watching the dynamic of the kids is amazing. The older kids seem to adore helping with the little kids with my daughter (20 months old atm) considers herself a "big kid."

We are sent daily updates via WhatsApp and bombarded with images of the kids, which is nice to send onto family. Little Pixies often go out and with the kids and I think this has been advantageous to her development and happiness to go out with.

The other children's parents have become good friends and I have enjoyed playing with the other kids when I go to collect my daughter.

Overall we are extremely pleased to have little pixies in our lives and will continue to have in our lives until my daughter goes to school.

**WARNING** My daughter learnt the word Debbie before mama, which didn't go down too well with my partner 😅.

We couldn't have asked for anything more of Debbie and her team at Little Pixies in the care they provided for our daughter, who has just done her first day at primary school, and who couldn't have been better prepared thanks to the fantastic job done by Debbie and co. Debbie provides not only care, but a wonderful, loving home-from-home experience with diverse learning opportunities, from trips on the bus to go to the beach, to soft play, cinema, songtime at the library, visits to the museum, crafting, cooking, and visits to local toddler groups. Debbie provides a daily digest at the end of each day, so you always know what they have been up to, and can see that the children love being with Debbie and thoroughly enjoy everything they do with her and the team.
I can highly recommend Debbie and her team.

My little daughter is more than happy to go to Debbie’s every time and leaves her house with a smile in her face. It is a very active setting with a lovely teem of childminders who make her feel safe and cared for. I am very pleased with and grateful for Debbie’s services.
