Deborah has looked after our daughter, Niamh Roche, full time from November 2014 until May 2016.

Niamh was 9 months old when she started with Deborah. From the beginning, Niamh has always been very happy to be left in her care. As a result, my return to work from maternity leave was a much easier transition than I had anticipated.

Deborah had planned activities for Niamh every week. They included visiting stay and play toddler groups each morning, outings to the park, the farm and even London transport museum and games/ structured play in her home.

Niamh has developed beyond her peers with her numbers, colours and general vocabulary. I believe this is because Deborah has made it a priority to ensure Niamh was given one to one structured learning and games to encourage her educational development.

Deborah provided a daily diary and sent photos of Niamh to me during the day. This was great because, as working parents, we felt a lot more involved in Niamh’s day to day care. It is something we wouldn’t have received if Niamh had been at a nursery.

We will definitely stay in touch with Deborah as she has become such an important person for Niamh. I know Niamh we will miss her very much.

Deborah’s care of Niamh has only come to an end as we are relocating from London to Cambridgeshire

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Deborah as a child minder full or part time.
