My son has been in Debbie’s care for 2 years. When he started she welcomed him with very open, and friendly arms, which made me feel more at ease attending my day to day life, knowing he was in a safe, happy and warm environment! Throughout the course of the period, I have watched Hugo grow more and more as a single individual through spending time with Debbie and the children.

When Hugo was one, he was struggling with his speech and development. He had his feet turning in when he walked; which Debbie went out of her way and bought these lovely shoes, which helped straighten out his feet! She sings songs, reads books, attends groups, all kinds of things to help the young children develop! From attending the groups and stuff with Debbie, Hugo has grown massively! Not only with himself, but with his speech and the person he is around other children. He has been taught to share, eating more food (as he didn’t eat much at home), playing with the older children.

Her home is beautiful. It’s tidy, homely, warm; there is nothing more you could ask for! She had an extension build to allow her house to have more room for the children, in which she built a hideaway type corner for the children - where they have their own place to play!

I absolutely love Debbie as a person, she is so friendly and a beautiful person, both inside and out. I could never fault her with her job and could not recommend anyone more!!
