A home from home
Debbie looked after my son for three and then four days per week from 2y 4m until he started school at 4y 9m. He absolutely adored going to Debbie's house and was so well looked after. They went on outings almost every day, walking into town to go to playgroups, Bounce & Rhyme at the library, visit the Castle, and run errands, as well as trips further afield to the beach, zoo or Broads. Closer to home, in good weather they'd often spend much of the day in the park. When at the house, they did a mixture of free play in the house and garden, organised games, crafts and a bit of TV to chill out. I always felt well informed about what he'd been up to each day, and he was supported to learn age appropriate skills and topics throughout. With over 30 years of childminding experience, Debbie was also full of wisdom to share about thorny topics like potty training. The children all had fun together and were like a little family. We still see lots of them for playdates now.
Debbie continues to babysit for us, and we still feel part of the extended Little Pixies family. I have no hesitation in recommending her to other parents.
