My Summary
Tiny Tots Childcare
About Me
My name is Deborah and I am 34 years old. I live with my husband called Steven who is 35 years old and he is a builder; together we have three children Lillie, Jacob, Henry. We also have a cat called Guss that we have had since 2014 and a dog called Miley who was born in January 2023.
I was previously a childminder from 2016 to 2020 and from 2018 I was childminding alongside working at Lidl in Clifton.
In 2020 I completely stopped childminding as I loved my job at Lidl and wanted to carry on up the ladder towards being a store manager.
However after having Henry, I decided to go back to childminding. I did return to Lidl for a year while also childminding but left Lidl completely at the beginning of 2024.
In September 2022 I opened up a play group called Crazy Tots Playgroup which is held in the Dovecote Primary School Sports Hall, this is a separate building to the actual school.
I have recently taken on my mum as my assistant so we are now a mother daughter team.

You always want to find the right childminder for you, to look after you children and know they are in a safe and happy environment. I have 2 boys aged 6 and 3 (nearly 4). They have been going to Tiny Tots childcare since July 2023 in the school holiday. From the first time we met Deborah at her home visit she made us feel so welcome providing all the necessary safe guarding paper work, qualifications and policy's she has in place.
Its like a home from home for the boys they absolutely love it. They go out everyday weather that's to the park, for a walk or to the allotments, days out to the farm. I get updates with photos which is always lovely to see and Deborah always keeps you informed with activities they will be doing ect so you can always make sure you childs got things they need like wellies if needed or waterproofs ect.
I'm so glad I found Tiny Tots Childcare, Deborah you are amazing thank you for looking after my boys they love spending time with you.
