About Me
Hello, my name is Debee and I’m a mum to two grown up children and nanny to 3 grandchildren aged 6, 8 & 12. I live with my partner near Hollybush shops/QE2 hospital. We have no pets - but we do have fish!
I offer a lovely home-from-home environment which is a happy fun place to be. Activities are child led mostly but the day always has an educational element to it too. I’m caring, nurturing, fun and energetic and love to get out exploring the environment. We go to playgroups, rhyme time, parks and Willows Farm. My aim is to care for your child and work in partnership with parents to help get them ready for school. My garden is safe and a great space for children to play.
I am available for school wraparound care.
Please do get in touch with any questions you may have and your childcare requirements.
Kind regards
Debee

My daughter has been going to Debee's since she was 11 months old. Debee made myself and my husband feel instantly at ease, ensuring we receive daily communication and pictures of how the day is. Our daughter is always excited about going to Debee’s and even asks on weekends if she is going there. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting.
Debee is professional, friendly, reliable, nurturing and caring and has often gone out of her way to help us when we need it. We feel very lucky to have Debee looking after our daughter and would most certainly recommend Debee to anyone searching for childcare.

My Son goes to Debee and He is always happy and excited to be spending the day with her and loves seeing all his friends there. Debee has provided a very caring, supportive and fun home-from-home environment in which our son has thrived. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for top quality, reliable, caring childminding.

We are incredibly lucky to have found such a fantastic childminder! Debee is warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. My child absolutely adores her and is always excited to spend time in her care. It’s so reassuring to know that they are in such a nurturing and safe environment. I couldn't recommend Debee more highly!

I can't recommend Debee enough!! I was initially worried about childcare because of my childs allergies and I don't have any family locally to help out but Debee eased my worries from day one. My son's loves Debee so much that I think he would move in with her and replace me if he could. It's like having a third grandmother. It was such an easy transition into childcare and I had the trust and confidence that my son would be taken care of. Debee goes above and beyond in every way.!! She listens to my requests and keeps me updated throughout the day with texts and photos. If your after someone amazing who will change your life for the better look no further than Debee.!! X

Debee has really taken good care of my son while am at work all day, she gives me feedback of what is going on with my son, updates me if anything changes. My son has settled so much with this lovely Lady and he husband. They both treat my son with kindness. My child is very happy with he care and don’t even want to go home with me sometimes. Lol 😆. I recommend this lovely lady for your child’s care.
Am not forgetting that she takes my son the the park and kids club
Sign up with her and thank me later

Our 2 children, 15 months and 5 years are looked after by this lovely lady. I was off work for a year and dreading going back to work leaving them with someone new.
The children have a great time with her and I know they are well looked after. Makes my day easy knowing they are fine.
Real home from home environment and Debee is great with the children. Home cooked meals and very accommodating. Highly recommended and thank you Debee for looking after them so well!
