My two girls have been going to Debbie & Paul since we moved to Reading 3 years ago and had to replace our childminder in our old town. My girls were 4 and 1 at the time & we were looking for a home from home setting for them. My oldest daughter started school a few weeks after they started and loves the wrap around childcare Debbie & Paul provide. She loves the interaction with other children that she wouldn’t get at home & the crafts and activities they do after school.
My youngest is not currently at school and is with Debbie & Paul all day, 3 days a week. She settled well initially but had a wobble which Debbie & Paul dealt with really well & now she talks about them all the time when she’s not with them. Her manners are excellent when she comes home, and she is well behaved walking to and from school, something she has learnt since doing school runs with her childminders! Communication is excellent, if I ask for anything I get an immediate reply. My girls are confident and happy children and I’m certain that some of that is down to the care they receive whilst I can’t be around for them. As a working mum, this is extremely important to me as knowing I’m leaving them and that they’re happy makes it easier for me to go to work.
