My daughter has been with Tracey for a year and a half. She started with her having spent most of her life in the pandemic and hardly seeing anyone outside the family. I was worried about how she’d be, suddenly spending whole days somewhere else. Tracey was great, she video-called us several times in the days leading up to her first session, so her face and voice were familiar. My daughter settled very easily with her, I was so pleased. She was responsive to her needs and gave her the attention she needed to settle in and get used to the new patterns. I really appreciated this.
I have never been into Tracey’s house due to the covid restrictions so can’t comment on that but she has a lovely garden with lots of things for the children to play with there. She grows some veg and involves the children in that which is nice. My daughter also likes watching the garden birds with Tracey.
My daughter has been happy with Tracey and was happy to go in each morning. Tracey seems to really enjoy the company of the children, doing different things with them at home and regularly taking them to the park. They spend time outside each day. The reports of what she has eaten show a broad variety of home-cooked meals which are enjoyed and finished.
Tracey gave us notice on the place to take on a new child who wanted more hours than us. Otherwise we would have been happy to stay there until my daughter was ready for nursery.
