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.

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.

Debbie has been so kind and caring in all that she does. My daughter felt so at home there immediately and we were always welcomed in with open arms! My daughter and I have loved our experiences with Debbie and she was the only lady who could get my daughter to day time nap!! Her husband is also a wonderful man who went above and beyond to make my son smile when we picked up his sister. We have had a truly remarkable time with Debbie

Our little girl (almost 3yrs) loves Debbie and has a wonderful time in her care. She’s excited to go every day and we get a detailed rundown of the fun they’ve had so we can see why! They go for picnics, visits to museums, farms, parks and playgrounds and in Debbies house enjoy crafts and lots of toys and books. Debbie is a warm, trustworthy and helpful person and we’re very happy to thoroughly recommend her to other parents.

We are so pleased we found wonderful Debbie - from the moment we met her we just knew she would provide the perfect care for our little girl. It's so special to see the relationship that she has fostered with our daughter from day one; Pearl always arrives with her arms stretched out for cuddles and we have to tear her away at the end of the day too! It has made it so much easier to be at work knowing that she is being cared for so well. They always have busy days and we love seeing the photos of Pearl at toddler groups, parks and playing with other children. Debbie makes lots of time for indoor fun and craft too which we always get to take home. The daily journal is great and always really detailed information about Pearl's day. We couldn't ask for more and thoroughly recommend Debbie!

Debbie has looked after both my daughters between 2014-2016 and 2016-2018 and I can honestly say she has become part of our family over the years. From the very beginning Debbie has cared for and nurtured them both, providing fun filled days, plenty of activities-the girls have brought some beautiful items home for us to keep, and this also shows how Debbie’s caring nature has developed them into kind, respectful, loving individuals. They always looked forward to going each day and settled in instantly too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, she has been simply amazing and the girls miss their Debbie terribly.

Debbie has been looking after my little boy for over 4months now. He was 8months old when he started to go to her house twice a week. I was very nervous leaving him and returning to work, but Debbie was so kind and considerate it made the whole thing a lot less stressful.
I originally looked at nurseries early on, but now having been with Debbie, I can't imagine how much worse I would have felt leaving him in a room with 5…6…10 other little ones! I know that at Debbie's he has all the attention he needs, and while I'm at work, I know that he is safe, happy, and loved.
I love how it has turned out for us. He is by himself for one day , so he gets aaaallll the attention and meets lots of new friends (Debbie sometimes meets up with other childminder friends and their little ones). The other day he is with her she also has two little girls in her care, who he adores watching play and run around. He will be chasing them soon enough!
I chose to go to Debbie because of the fantastic reviews i read on this website and I'm so glad we did.
I would definitely recommend Debbie and i plan to send baby number 2 in her direction when needed!

My little girl has been with Debbie for nearly a year and a half and Arabelle just loves going to see her Debbie, she gets so excited when ringing the doorbell. Debbie is a kind and loving childminder and I am always at ease knowing that my little girl is being well looked after and having a wonderful time. Arabelle has learnt so much with Debbie for example taking her shoes and coat off at the door and being more independent at feeding herself at meal times. I get updates and photos throughout the week which always puts a smile on my face at work. We get a diary everyday so we are kept up to date with all of Arabelle’s activities. We are are very lucky we found this wonderful lady.

It is so lovely to see my daughter so happy when she goes to Debbie three days a week. My husband and I wanted someone who would love and give our one year old the attention she needs to grow and thrive and we feel so wonderful that we have found that person in Debbie. We get updates and a journal of her progress day by day and get to keep projects that she has done in the day. I was a little worried about going back to work but me and my husband agree that we feel at ease knowing that Debbie is taking good care of our little one. We are so very happy.

My son started going to Debbie's when he was a year old, and we have been delighted with her care. From photo updates during the day for peace of mind to daily reviews of eating, drinking, sleeping and activities, we couldn't want for a better person to look after him. He regularly comes home with art projects they've done during the day and is happy to see her at drop off and tired but happy at pick up. He is 14 months now and goes for two 8 hour days each week so that I have time with his younger brother and to catch up on sleep and housework. I am also very impressed with the full developmental assessment that Debbie keeps a record of and updates, I know that having time with her helps both him and me. Very happy mummy and all in walking distance!
