About Me

Hi, I'm Debbie and I am in a Childminding partnership with my husband, Douglas. We have two children, Robyn who is 12, and Benjamin 10. We have over 15 years of experience in child care in various positions.

We can drop off and collect from Bellsquarry P.S. and Nursery. We have full, clean driving license, which makes it nice and easy to go on trips to lots of different parks and outings!

We live in a detached house with lots of space for children to play, we have playhouses, a small climbing frame with slide, a mini see-saw, and sand & water trays. We believe strongly in child led planning and outdoor play. We take a holistic approach to childcare and education. We consistently receive high grades from the Care Inspectorate when assessed.

If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

My Experience

I have been a registered childminder for over 12 years and Douglas for 2 years. Prior to this, we were both foster carers with the City of Edinburgh Council. Douglas also has experience working as a support worker in residential and special schools.
