Deborah's Reviews

Brilliant Consistent Childminder

Debbie has been our childcare provider for the last 4 years. We have been over the moon with the service and value for money that she provides. My wife and I couldn't recommend her enough: she is caring, thorough, flexible and a true professional.

Thank you so much Andrew and Helen. It certainly helps when the parents and children are lovely too! xx

100% Recommended

Debbie was recommended to us by the school and she is fantastic.

She does the morning and afternoon school run for our son (age 3) and he loves going to hers. He runs in, in the morning without a backward glance... and when I pick him up he tells me all about what he's done and how much he enjoys his meals there!

I was a little apprehensive about leaving him and going to work, but I got on with Debbie straight away and he took to her from day one. She's very open and honest and always puts the kids first. Our son can be a handful, but Debbie was great with him and he listens to her. Her own children are lovely and our little one really enjoys their company too.

Debbie gives you a daily report diary (I don't think other childminders do this), which I find it really useful, especially if you want to keep track of bowl movements and diet.

We are definitely going to use Debbie for our next child and highly recommend her to everyone who needs a childminder.

simply the best.

Debbie is the first childminder that we have entrusted our child with
and we couldn't leave our child with anyone better.
Daniel is so happy and content whilst in the care of Debbie, so much so
when he is dropped off he just walks into her house without a care in the world.
Debbie keep journals of his daily activities and what Daniels has done so over a
period of time you can see how much he has come on.
if we had another child we wouldn't hesitate to ask Debbie to look them as well.

Excellent childcare provider!

Debbie came highly recommended to us by my sister in law as she currently looks after my nephews. We were delighted that Debbie was able to cater for our son (Saul) along side his cousins. Debbie is a very open and honest person who will always put the children's needs above her own. When I returned to work we quickly realised we'd made the right decision and feel completely happy leaving our 7 month old son in Debbie's care.
Debbie has a brilliant imagination with the kids and endless number of activities to keep them occupied even on a cold wet day. I love picking Saul up and hearing all about his adventures. Debbie has a log book for each child and makes notes of the day's activities, these notes also include important information about my son's eating habits, nappies and general mood.
I made it clear to Debbie that I wanted my son to have a good diet, Debbie goes out of her way to make sure Saul (and all the other children in her care) have a varied diet with plenty of fruit and veg.
I certainly believe Debbie has chosen the right profession in childcare, she has a lovely manner with the kids and the patients of a saint. We feel completely confident leaving our son in her care and would therefore highly recommend her to others seeking a childminder.

Excellent childminder

Debbie has been a childminder for my two sons (1yr and 2yrs) for the last year.
In this time, Debbie has kept regular journals and a daily diary, which comes home every night to review the childrens progress and food intake.
she is very good with paperwork and is very organised so that i dont have to be!
The children are extremley happy in the evironment she has created and look forward to going there everyday.
Since being at this childminders my eldest child has developed in his speech and creativity.
