My 2 year old son is looked after by Debbie twice a week, I moved him from a nursery to her after hearing wonderful things about her from a friend of mine. My little boy has food allergies and Debbie has made every effort to ensure his safety around his needs and he has never had any issues in her care. I’m the few months of my son being with Debbie he has came on so much, learning more and really benefiting from being in a smaller group of children. He gets excited to see Debbie and the other children including Debbie’s own, he has learned all their names and tries to talk about them constantly as is so happy to be with them whilst I work. She has a lovely tidy extension on her own home dedicated to the children she cares for, suitable for all age groups, takes the children out on lovely outings and has a nice big garden for them to play in too. Debbie is an exceptional child minder, caring and very knowledgable, and if there’s anything she doesn’t know she does what she can to find out so she knows she is doing everything right for your child. I have always been apprehensive about using a private child minder but I’m so glad I made the change from nursery as it really has been the best thing for my son. I also get photographs and updates sent to my phone that I love to see, he gets a little home work pack and check lists so I know what he has been doing, learning and where he should be for his age. Since being with Debbie his speech and confidence has grown and he starting to count and learn colours as she always stimulates him. I couldn’t ask for a better child minder.
