About Me
Graded Outstanding by Ofsted
Qualified mentor for DFE
I am qualified to deliver current government funded places for 2, 3 & 4 year olds.
I have 3 children of my own aged 11, 18 & 23 years. I am very hands-on, fun-loving, and treat all children in my care as I do my own.
I offer outstanding care for all children aged from birth, and I am a member of a Middlesbrough Child minding support network.
I am a fully qualified mentor for the Department of Education.
I have a team of fully qualified assistants who work alongside me, and as you will read in my reviews, we make a fabulous team!
I work in partnership with my local nursery to ensure children's transitions between my setting and nursery/school settings run smoothly.
I am very reliable and provide a positive, safe environment for children to play and learn, I have a large 5 bedroom house with a purpose built playroom. I have a safe outdoor play area equipped with a full-size playhouse along with lots of outdoor toys and equipment.
I am qualified to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) from birth to five years.
I plan outdoor activities on a daily basis. These activities vary from trips to the local parks, playgroups, baby/toddler groups, farms, libraries, etc. I also attend children's sign language classes.
My Experience
As a parent I have 23 years experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a Childminder for the last 10 years.
I actively work towards the learning and development of each child and work in partnership with parents, professionals and other settings to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage and work towards children's Early Learning Goals.
I carry out observations on each individual child in my setting under EYFS and make assessments on their individual needs and learning. These are recorded on a secure online daily diary which are shared with parents on a daily basis, as well as as an ongoing learning journey record which is kept in the setting.

Our daughter has been with Tracey and her team since April and we truly could not be happier. The effort put in to provision, activities and quality time by all staff is shown in Olivia’s development. Daily messages are sent to give updates on sleep, food offered, activities and photographs, which always brighten up our day.
I knew instantly that Tracey was the childminder for us and I would recommend her to anyone looking for childcare xxx

Thank you so much for your kind words. We absolutely love what we do & take pride in every step of your child's development xxx
I am absolutely over the moon with the care my little boy receives whilst he is in Tracey’s setting. He had a settling in period which took a couple of weeks and from then he takes himself into Tracey’s house without even looking back at me as he is so excited to start his day! I always feel that he is safe with Tracey and I can relax and get on with work. My second baby will be starting with Tracey when I go back to work the second time and I have no worries about him settling in just fine as well.
Tracey and her team are very professional I receive daily updates about my little boys day, he has 3 meals whilst he is there and snacks, these are varied and similar to what he would have at home he loves being part of the little community he has at childminders. Tracey is flexible where possible and I find this useful around my work. It’s a personal service and for someone who was considering nursery I find Tracey’s setting to have exceeded my expectations across the board.
The children go on days out and groups and are always busy on the mornings then have quieter afternoons accommodating nap time which fits in well with our usual routines. Can’t recommend enough - outstanding for a reason! 😊

Thank you so much for the lovely review 🤗
Tracey has taken care of all 4 of our children each time I’ve returned to work after maternity leave and we’ve never considered anyone else to do the job from the first time we met. She has always taken care of the boys with love and compassion but also the firm and guiding hand that any parent would want someone to provide in their absence. She (and Teah) are truly amazing and we can’t Thank them enough for allowing us to go to work each day safe in the knowledge that boys were/are taken care of so abundantly in every way. If you’re lucky enough to get your child a place you won’t be disappointed - Tracey was born to be around children and the boys (and us) couldn’t be happier we found her x x x

Tracey and her team are fantastic childminders. Tracey is very welcoming, friendly and accommodating my son has been going since he was a few months old, he is 3 now and staying until he attends school. Another of my sons went to Tracey from being 9 months to 4 years old, he is 7 now and he still walks in and gives her a hug like he’s part of the family! You receive updates about what they get up to and what they have eaten etc and they are always on hand if you have any questions. The setting is also absolutely brilliant!

My son has attended Tracey's Little Treasurers since he was 9 months old, he is currently age 6. Tracey and her staff are wonderful and extremely professional. The setting is amazing, with lots of activities on offer with a substantial breakfast available before school. My son is taken to school along with other children and dropped off safely, he really enjoys his time there and has made good relationships along the way. I would highly recommend Tracey's Little Treasurers *****
