Fantastic and accomodating

Debra continues to be a fantastic childminder. She looked after my son for two full days, and he came out both days happy and proud of his paintings produced each day. He was also kept busy with other activities all day. Debra very helpfully wrote out what he had done and eaten all day. I wouldn't hesitate about using again.

After school pick up and care

Both my children were with this childminder, albeit a brief time, but I couldn't rate her highly enough! She had both my children, aged 4 and 10 for two whole days, and they loved their time there. My daughter, who is very shy was made to feel very welcome, safe and comfortable. This childminder responded to both their needs, and did activities based on their own individual, personal likes. This childminder also collected my younger child from school Mon to Thurs for four weeks, and he really made great progress. I could always rely on her to be there too. The only reason, we are not still using her is because my child changed schools, but I wouldn't hesitate in using her again, and indeed hope that we can. Would definitely highly recommend, and as a teacher myself felt that she provided a safe, child centered environment.

Happy Child = Happy Parents

My daughter is now 5 years old and has been with Deb since she was 8 months old.
She is now in school however attends Debs during the school holidays and some weekends.
As our daughters parents we always want what is best for our daughter and I can definitely say that attending Debs is the best decision we have ever made & our girl wouldn't want to go anywhere else.
She is always cared for, Happy, healthy and most of all included within the group and feels loved. She often talks about Deb to all her friends, family and even school teachers. Deb always goes above and beyond to provide and excellent service.
I would gladly recommend Deb to anyone & have done previously too.

Very basic

Our daughter was with Deborah for year.Although her approach is flexible we found her service lacking behind other childcare providers we had before.It appears the phrase:you get what you paid for. is unfortunately true. I would not recommend her based on our personal experience.

I have a quality setting offering a very caring loving day ,attending playgroups and achieving through play in a fun way ,my minded children have returned to my setting whilst leaving to go to school and comming back to my setting as there cared for and loved and have busy fun filled planned play ,out of looking after 60 plus children over all the years I have childminder one parent has made negative remarks ,but this child was a very happy child in my care and sang all day , so the phase the patent made you only get what you pay for is like the phase there's nothing funnier than folk

Perfect Childcare

My child was with Debra for a year before school. My little girl adored her. Due to school we had to leave this year and both myself and my little girl were so upset. We still keep in touch. I cannot recommend her enough. My child attended playgroups, followed the eyfs, was always happy to stay and flourished in Debra's care. We miss her and would always be happy to provide reference of the positive, happy, healthy experience we had with Deb. You're child will be happy and well looked after here. xx

Excellent Childminder!

We would definatley recommend Debra as a childminder. Our daughter loves her to bits! She is great, really caring with so much attention to detail. Deb records everything to ensure we know what our daughter has eaten, drank, nappies changes, sleeps & activities. Debra is friendly, welcoming & trustworthy and we completely trust her to care for our daughter. Our daughter settled on her first day there and loves going, Deb does lots of activities with the children and she keeps to the routine that our daughter is in. We are so happy we have found Debra as our daughter loves her and is so settled. :)
