My Summary
Experienced Childminder
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder located in the Cheam area. I have experience of looking after children as nanny as well as having 2 children of my own, son 13 and daughter 10.
The child's happiness and development is my number one goal.
My home is set up as a mini nursery where children are taken out most days to experience the natural environment and connect to all aspects of nature,observing squirrels,identifying plants,flowers and trees and ensuring they have a fun time. Within the home they have access to rich learning resources to support each child's age and development. I provide homecooked meals daily with lots of fruit, vegetables and cater for vegetarians and vegan diets. I have an enclosed garden for outdoor play with slides, wendy house, messy play area and toy cars.
I am a Bristol University Theology Graduate who has worked as an Area Bank Manager in London. I therefore have good organisational skills which I can utilise to help with planning learning journals which is an a great reminder of the happy times they have spent with us.
My Experience
I have experience of looking after children from 6 months until they go to school. I have cared for identical and non identical twins.
I love the outdoors,enjoy camping,walking and cycling.
I am an active helper at my local church and children's school.
I have an assistant who has many years experience as a childminder and nanny.

Debs is such a great childminder and we could not have wished for anyone better. We knew she was right from the moment we met her. She looked after our daughter for close to two years. She is so kind and caring. She has a lovely home, and a beautiful setting to look after the children, with an abundance of toys and learning materials. My daughter loved going to Debs and really bonded well with her. If you are looking for a childminder then Debs will be perfect. She will look after your child with love and care just as you would do yourself. I highly recommend her.

My child has been under the care of Debs and Barbara for over a year, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care provided.
The level of care and attention given to my child is outstanding. Debs and Barbara go above and beyond to ensure my child's needs are met, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for his growth and development from day 1. They ensured me even from the first day that my little one was in good hands. I recommend them to any parent seeking reliable childcare. As a first-time mum and someone who did not have any experience with British childcare, I am grateful for the amazing experience and the positive impact they've had on my child's life and feel fortunate to have found such wonderful childminders.

Debs & Barbara looked after our son for a year and we were extremely happy while he was in their care. Debs was excellent at providing updates and photos, as well as a learning journal which has been a lovely keepsake to look back on. Our little one did lots of fun activities and outings to the park, aswell as playing in the garden. Barbara provides nutritious home made meals, and I always felt he was very well cared for. I would highly recommend :-)

Debs has looked after my daughter since she was 1 and she is now 3 yrs old and she still picks her up after nursery one day a week. She also has my son (6 year old) after school. Both kids have always loved going to Debs' house. They do lots of fun activities and get outdoors every day (weather permitting!)
The setting is very much a warm family home, with plenty of toys and a nice garden to play in.
Debs is very good at communicating and keeping us updated on how the kids are doing and what they've been up to. She is caring, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend her as a childminder.

Debbie and Barbara looked after our son from 10 months to 3 years old, throughout the pandemic and lockdowns. We later sent our 6 month old daughter until she was 1.
Debbie was so flexible and considerate to our needs. She always kept us informed and so supportive to our children and us as parents, especially if our children were unsettled at drop off, she always would let us know they were okay shortly after!
Our children thrived here and absolutely loved going to Debbie's home. She kept brilliant records with artwork and pictures of them doing activities.
I have recommended Debbie to numerous friends as we as a family have had such a great experience with her, can't recommend her enough!
Thanks so much Debbie and Barbara :)
