Debbies 's Reviews

Highly recommended

We have utilised Debbie’s childminding services for our daughter since the end of maternity leave up until the age of 14 months. Our daughter had never been left without one of her parents before and so we were understandably nervous. We were very impressed with how homely Debbie’s setting was and her calm and kind confidence with the children, our daughter included.
Our daughter, as expected, took some time to settle but Debbie kept us updated and worked with us to enable her to settle well, which we were very pleased with. We really enjoy hearing about what activities have been done during the day and the photos that Debbie sends every day are a particular highlight.
Overall, we have felt that our daughter is safe and happy with Debbie and would recommend her to anyone needing care for their little one.
We are having to move childminders due to work changes, and if these hadn’t happened then we would definitely be staying, or if anything changes again, we will be back without hesitation.
Thank you Debbie for taking such care. Keep in touch.

Highly recommend

Our two daughters love being looked after by Debbie. From the first visit to her setting, our eldest daughter immediately warmed to Debbie’s kind and caring approach, and we knew that she felt safe and confident with her at once. Debbie has created a setting that is homely and warm, our girls feel confident and secure with her, and we are always greeted at the door with happy children. They’ve also developed a good bond with her husband.
Debbie was reassuring and supportive during their settling in period, and particularly attentive of the needs of our ten-month old who needed more time to adjust. Debbie is accommodating of both of their routines. She has adapted these routines to work within her setting and has ensured that the care they receive has been consistent. She has provided our family with flexibility and support when we’ve needed it. Debbie has good communication with us as parents, and she provides us with a thorough summary of the day they’ve spent together, with plenty of photos. She provides them with a variety of activities, including arts and crafts, trips out, and games and songs, which the girls love.
We would highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a caring, adaptable, and generous childminder.

Little sister loves Debbie too.

We were so pleased that Debbie could look after baby no.2 once her big sister went to Preschool. Our eldest had such a brilliant time in Debbie's care and now her little sister has the same! It's been lovely getting to know Debbie and her husband over the past 2/3 years and they really have become like part of the family.
We were worried about how our youngest would adjust to childcare being a lockdown baby but after just a couple of weeks she was absolutely fine and built a fantastic relationship with Debbie really quickly. We feel so lucky to have Debbie in our lives and would thoroughly recommend her.
