Tracey had been looking after my son from 7 months old - 18 months old. Initially I was nervous to leave my son with a stranger but Tracey made me feel very at ease and updated me regularly throughout the day. Tracey’s setting is a lovely home from home environment with plenty of activities and crafts offering snacks and drinks regularly throughout the day. Tracey and my son have a great bond and we will miss her and her mum deeply! If it wasn’t for moving to a new area we would have stayed! Tracey is not only a great childminder but she has a big heart and a lot of love to give to any child who joins her setting. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my son develop and thrive throughout the time he was with you - We will miss you X

Thank you Jenna for your lovely words . We will miss you all too . Oakley will hold a special place in our hearts x
Our little boy has just left after being with Tracey from the age of ten months right up to three years old and he still misses seeing Tracey and Dale each week.
We chose Tracey as we wanted our son to attend a family orientated setting which felt safe, secure and just a step away from his own home.
Tracey has a wonderful way with the children in her care and treated my little boy like one of the family.
The activities and play opportunities provided have helped him to engage with other children, supported his language and cognitive development and really helped to shape his future. There is always plenty to do at the house, a lovely little outdoor area to play in and lots of art and crafts - which are so thoughtful.
Our son has always been a little hesitant to change initially, but with great routines and the kindness Tracey has shown, he has grown in confidence no end.
We will always hold Tracey in a special place in ours hearts - as will our little boy.
Thank you xx

Tracey is an excellent child minder, who looked after my son from 16 weeks and my daughter during school holidays for 2 years. My son now attends a playgroup with his sister, if not he would still be with Tracey
