Meet the team

Dee’s Childcare was founded in 2001 by Decima Isles-Broughton. Originally established as a small home-based childminding business, it grew rapidly through word-of-mouth recommendations from parents who valued our high-quality services.

Over the years, the business has expanded significantly. Today, Dee’s Childcare operates from a newly refurbished setting, providing a bright, clean, safe, and homely environment for children aged 6 months to 12 years.

Our team of friendly, qualified practitioners and assistants is dedicated to going above and beyond. We offer stimulating learning experiences, promote a healthy lifestyle, and provide a secure space where children can learn, grow, and play.re is some content for this service

Decima

Hi, I'm Decima, also known as "Aunty Decima". I started childminding because I was so dissatisfied with the childcare I received when my daughter was a toddler. I was inspired to provide the service to families that I wanted for my own children. 

It was only meant to be for a short time, until my children started school, but I love my work so much that more than 20 years later, we're still welcoming new families and achieving many new milestones with new children. I continue to be passionate about what I do, with so many individual little people to engage with, no two days are the same. 

We have our prescribed duties and obligations to our children, but having fun while providing the children with lots of challenges and opportunities that expose them to new and exciting experiences is priceless. The rewards of being a part of their growth and development and helping them to reach their full potential are plentiful.

Marilyn

I'm Marilyn also known as "Miss Marilyn".  I officially joined the team in 2017 as a childcare assistant. Dee's Childcare is an amazing place to work and an exemplary early years setting for young children.

Although I have now moved to the Business Administrative side of the business, utilising my background in HR, my greatest joy is still being able to connect and build relationships with the children and contribute, and watch them grow, overcome and blossom.

Tolu

Hi, my name is Tolu.  I am an experienced Level 3 Early Years Educator and Marketing Comms graduate.  I initially joined Dee's Childcare in 2023 as a Lead Practitioner and marketing officer. 

Working at Dee's has provided me with opportunities to practice  and extend the knowledge  and skills needed to help the children as they learn, play and grow.  Supporting our family-focused community at Dee's, I have since become the Nursery Manager and SENCo Lead.

Niah

Hi, my name is Niah. I am Dee's daughter and the reason she became a childminder.  I am proud to have grown up watching Dee's evolve over the years and wanted to become a member of staff myself. 

Working at Dee's has been rewarding, as I get to see the youngest of our generation learn new things every day and, in turn, teach me new things. 

Katie

Hi, my name is Katie.  I came to Dee's Childcare for work experience to complete my Level 3 qualification in 2021.  

Once I qualified, I joined the permanent team as a Childcare  Assistant and have since been recognised as a Practitioner and am now the room leader for

Caterpillar's room.  My greatest joy is being part of a service that is committed to and cares about the children who are in our care.

Samantha

Hi, I'm Samantha.  Many years ago, both of my children attended Dee's Childcare.  I was so impressed with the care and support given to them that when a position became available, I knew I wanted to work there. 

I have since been fully supported to complete my Level 3 qualification and am very motivated by being a part of children's development and growth, which I find very rewarding.

Linda

I am Linda aka Ms Korkor. I joined Dee’s Childcare as a Childcare Assistant in 2025. I have greatly enjoyed being part of a team that nurtures children’s growth through play and learning. Contributing to their development has been both rewarding and fulfilling, and I look forward to continuing this journey with Dee’s Childcare.

Spendi

My name is Spendilove Oppong, and I am a Childcare Practitioner at Dee's Childcare. I have been here for almost two years now. I truly see the nursery as a second home where we help raise children with love, care, and respect. I am passionate about creating a warm, safe environment where children feel happy, secure, and confident to learn through play and everyday experiences.

Priscilla

Hi, I'm Priscilla Asare and I'm a caring and enthusiastic child care practitioner who loves helping children learn through play, routine, and meaningful interaction. I focus on creating a warm and welcoming space where children feel secure and happy. Through patience, creativity, and positive guidance, I support each child’s individual development while building strong, trusting relationships with them.

Ramlat

Hello! I’m Miss O (though the children often call me O. or Oooooh! ). I am currently an Early Years Childcare Apprentice here at Dee’s Childcare. My favourite part of the day is getting stuck into arts and crafts with the children. I truly value the bonds I build with all the children, and there is nothing more rewarding than helping them play, learn, and grow every single day.

EVELYN

My name is Evelyn aka KuuKua. I make the yummy and healthy food the children eat everyday, ensuring that is is freshly made, whether it is from Dee's Childcare vegetable patch, produce gotten from a forest childcare trip or the stores. I love when the children ask me for moreeeee, that puts a smile on my face.

Shadrack Osei

I enjoy doing maintenance works at the setting. Knowing that the children are in a safe, risk assessed environment. My favorite days are when i get to assist with taking the children on trips, talking to them, learning and making them laugh. These experiences make me be a better father.

Now I have new skills and a lot of confidence when using power tools.
