About Me

I am a registered childminder who is married with 2 daughters. I have been awarded Outstanding by Ofsted (December 2014 and January 2020). I have 1 dog that lives with us. I provide home from home care for your child/ren and my aim is for the children to learn whilst having fun. I have a dedicated playroom and a good sized, flat, safe and secure garden. We spend a lot of time at the park come rain or shine and attend playgroups, the library, National Trust properties and museum. I am now into my 17th year of childminding and love every minute of it, the only downside is saying goodbye to the children as they move on. You can send me a private message on FB under Debra McGregor. I am a member of PACEY(was NCMA)

My Experience

I am in my 17th year of being a registered chilminder. I have 2 daughters of my own and have aways had a love of children. When I used to take my own children to toddler group I used to be the mum surrounded by other peoples' children, playing or reading to them. I chose childminding as a career so I could be around children and be there for my own. I have had and still have very satisfied clients who are pleased with the flexible service and family care I provide for their children.

My Qualifications

I have had all the training that is required by Ofsted regulations.

I hold The Early Years Foundation Degree and have gained a level 3 Diploma in Home-based Childcare and was graded A on all my assignments. I am always updating my knowledge through the internet. I hold upto date paediatric first aid and safe guarding children training.

Good
16 September 2025
A nurturing environment and well-prepared curriculum form the foundation of this childcare setting. Children benefit from a focus on mathematics and creativity, with activities tailored to build on existing knowledge. The childminder creates strong bonds with children and families, supporting learning and growth. While the overall effectiveness is good, there is room for improvement in behaviour management, particularly regarding toy sharing. Parents report positive experiences and good progress in their children's development.

My son has being going to debbie for nearly two years now and he adores her. She has a relaxing yet stimulating setting that is perfect for little ones. She is highly reliable and has not been sick in the two years Jack has been attending. I would highly recommend debbie. Her house is exceptionally well suited and she provides multilp sifferent opportunities for jack and a great knowledge of the curriculum. She provides healthy snacks and communicates everything that my son has done that day and areas he is developing in.
