Tricia cared for my son from 15 months old right up until he went to primary school. Tricia is one of the most warm and caring people I have met, she instantly put me at ease the day I met her, and I knew that she was someone I could trust. Tricia remains professional whilst continuing to be warm and caring. It’s evident that Tricia has a genuine passion and interest in child development.

Tricia’s home is warm and welcoming; her family are too just as warm as she is. Tricia’s home is more than well equipped; she has toys that suit all ages. Her outdoor environment is just as engaging as indoors. Tricia regularly rotates toys, and she sets up weekly themes and ties these in with child development needs. Her set ups are amazing and so varied. She also celebrates cultural days such as VE day, Chinese New Year etc my son always enjoyed these days which would include various activities.

Tricia access’s the local community a lot with various days out, visits to local community groups and activities. My son particularly enjoyed attending music group and would look forward to that particular day. It also encouraged him to develop friendships with other children. Tricia works closely with other childminders and the efforts they went to to arrange days out/sports days and other activities were fantastic.

Tricia closely follow’s all guidelines and was very efficient in ensuring that all aspects of my child’s needs were met. My son was ahead of others his age group in all aspects, identifying colours, shapes, learning to count, draw etc all of this was down to the hard work and persistent efforts of Tricia. All of these efforts made during play. Tricia provided daily updates and photographs which were lovely to see.

Tricia supported me through potty training and also as my son grew older was always willing to accommodate changes, I wished to make to his routine, reducing nap times etc. Tricia always made time to discuss things at length with me.

Tricia was always reliable and when needed would be as flexible as possible. My son always enjoyed attending Tricia’s setting and Tricia helped ensure he was ready to move on from her setting to a school environment.

My son was always happy to go to Tricia’s and I feel that speaks volumes. Now my son is at school but still returns to Tricia’s care during school holidays. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tricia, so much so that my Goddaughter is now cared for by Tricia and her parents are just as happy as I was.

If you want somebody who is warm, caring and genuinely takes joy out of caring for children then please take the time to meet Tricia. If happy to be contacted if you have any questions or would like more feedback as its hard to put it all into a review.
