About Me

My name is Debbie Tetley and I am a registered childminder; I live in Ely with my 2 daughters (Jodie 22 years old, and Lucy who is 20 years old). I have worked part-time in a special needs school close to where I live for 9 years.

----------------

My name is Lucy Crick and I am a registered childminder. I have done 2 years of childcare at school (GCSE Level) and also 2 years at Ely Sixth Form for which I have achieved a Health and Social Care A-Level in. I also work in a pre-school after-school club at the local primary school as a play practitioner and have worked there for just over 2 years and also work in my local gym’s crèche.

We have decided to become registered childminders because we will offer the children that we care for a happy environment and we like to see children grow and develop. We like to make parents feel happy that their child is in safe hands. Another reason why we have decided to become registered childminders is because we love experiencing the uniqueness of each child. We will also be working in our own home, choosing the hours we want to work and the services that we provide.

We will be offering snacks and drinks including water, milk, sugar free squash and also pure fruit juice throughout the day and require you to provide a healthy packed lunch for your child. However, if your child requires a formula milk, baby food etc then we will ask that you provide this also.

We do drop offs/pickups from the following schools:
- The Lantern Community Primary School
- St Marys school (Ely)
- Spring Meadows
- Isle of Ely
