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

Thank you so much for the lovely review 🤗
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 *****

My twins started going to Tracey's at 10 months old, they are now 7 and still love to go in the school holidays to meet up with their old friends and see the Little Treasure's Team.
Tracey and her girls are very professional, friendly and loving towards the children. I can honestly say that my children have turned out such well mannered and bright children due to the early years education and home setting they received here.
Lovely family home setting but the children also have regular days out meeting with other child-minder groups in the park, community halls, fun days out. My children have even participated in horse riding and days at local museums in more recent years during the school holidays.
10/10 for Tracey and the team xx

My little girl has been with Tracey since 8 months old and is now 3. We were recommended Tracey’s little treasures and after looking about she was the first we’d seen, I knew I wouldn’t want my daughter to be anywhere else.
Nothing is ever too much for Tracey and Sam and the setting is amazing for the children! I know she’s safe and they both know her inside out which makes us feel completely at ease. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds even during the pandemic and she never ever stops talking about Tracey and Sam. She sees being there like a home from home and like a little family.
They do amazing activities and they have the best days. Everything is an adventure and they love the children so much.
Highly recommend Tracey’s little treasures we’d be lost without them!

Tracey is great with my son for breakfast and after school club been going to her house since last year and she treats him like one of her own. Always reliable and has open arms when I’m unorganised and last minute. My son gets excited to go to Tracey’s before school and is always prepared and on time, would recommend her to anyone!

My son has been attending since he was 9months old, he absolutely loves going. They have so much to do. Lots of activities, the food they offer is amazing and my son has learnt so much. I like the updates I get through the day telling me about his day and the pictures of him playing, it makes me feel so happy he is enjoying himself. I would and do highly recommend Tracey 's to everyone as it is such a friendly and warm setting that really does care about all the kids and them learning and growing into gorgeous well mannered children. Tracey and Sam are brilliant and my son loves them and is so happy when he goes. It really is an amazing place for him to grow up in. He is staying on once he turns 3 rather than attending nursery and I cannot wait to see how he does!! Thank you so much for making my little boy so happy everyday with fun activities and play ❤️

Traceys Little Treasures is like a home from home for my little boys. She's had my eldest for over 4 years and now my youngest too.
She treats everyone like family and the girls she has working for her are just as amazing as her.
by FabsHynd on 30/09/2021
My little boy has been attending for over a year now and my little girl has just recently started too and they both adore coming to Tracey’s and the girls. The care is brilliant, I have seen both children change and learn so much already. I receive regular updates on the children to monitor their progress and I am kept informed. I feel that it is an amazing home from home environment which is why my two have settled beautifully.

My son has been going to Tracey's since he was 10 months old, he is now 7 years old. We couldn't be without the fabulous Tracey and her amazing, highly qualified staff, they are an important part of our lifes. Tracey makes my son feel like part of her family and will go above and beyond to help in any way she can, nothing is ever to much trouble. My son loves going to Tracey's to this day and looks forward to spending the full day there in the school holidays and doing all the wonderful activities on offer with his friends, some which he has known since he was a baby 🥰. Communication is key, and Tracey keeps all the parents updated with anything we need to know as well as what our children have been up to, when in her care. The children always look happy. We feel very lucky to have found Tracey and I never have to worry when my son is in her care as I know she treats him as she does her own. My son will be going to Tracey's for many years to come. Thank you for everything so far ❤ x.

Tracey and the girls have been excellent at caring for my children. My eldest has been there for over 3 years full time and now my youngest attends full time also. Tracey and the girls are very accommodating and are faultless!! My kids are 100% in the best place for their development and have vome on leaps and bounds with Tracey. Its a shame they have to go to school as I would have them with Tracey full time until they were 18 if i could!
by Chantell on 30/09/2021
Tracey & the girls were so brilliant the first time around there was no question who we would chose to look after our youngest son. The team are fab and the setting is excellent. Joseph took a while to settle in but they persevered with him and now he shuts the door in my face! Would high recommend.
by MamoB on 01/05/2020
Tracey and the girls have looked after both my girls! The care they provide is amazing - the setting has plenty of activities and opportunities for children of all ages. My youngest has come along so much in confidence as well as development wise also. Love the daily diary online so we can see images and info about what she has been doing in the day.
A kind, loving and nurturing environment!
by KWoodier on 30/04/2020
A truly wonderful setting . I can’t speak highly enough of the whole team and how well they welcomed my little boy . A passionate lady who gives 110 % to her job . Thank you
by Laura on 29/04/2020
We have you used to Tracey and the girls for our son previously then the last 3 years for our daughter who was extremely shy and clingy. The home to home feel and loving approach has helped her come out of her shell and built her confidence. Supportive through some speech therapy and always kept well informed of day to day activities, menu and development. Always out and about attending playgroups and various sing and sign activities which my daughter loves. It makes such a difference leaving your child for the day knowing she is happy and loved in a safe environment. Highly recommend.
by PennyEd on 29/04/2020
My son has attended since he was 9months and settled straight in. Tracey and her girls have an amazing setting and my little boy has came on so well since he started. They made me feel at ease straight away and I knew he was in good hands while i was at work.
The activities they do are brilliant, always having fun and have mornings out at playgroups. I love the app they use which keeps me up to date with what he has ate, drank etc. The meals available are fab and my son is eating so well! He absolutely loves going and i am so happy I got a place for him!!
by sam on 29/04/2020
My daughter has attended this setting since she was 8 months old. Tracey and her team are fantastic, They Are friendly and welcoming which instantly puts your mind at ease, the activities are varied and supportive of a child’s developmental needs. Feedback is continuous from Tracey and the team with clear lines of communication at all times. All my daughters needs are catered for and I could ask for a nicer set of people to take care of her. Thank you
by Rachael on 29/04/2020
My little girl has been going to Tracey since she was 9 months old in June 2019. She has come in leaps and bounds with her development. She absolutely loves going to see Tracey and the girls. She does so many different activities every day and I know she is treated like one of her own children.
by sjsmith1 on 29/04/2020
I used tracey for over 2 years for my twins, right from the start I knew it was the best decision I had ever made. She made me feel so at ease about leaving them with her and made my return to work that little bit easier sending me updates on what they had been upto and all the new things they learned whilst with her. She treats the children as if they are own and her home is like fully equipped for children of all ages with lots of different activities for them to do. She provides a booklet which she writes what they have been upto, what they have eaten (always gorgeous home cooked meals) and drank etc. Her and her amazing assistants are so hard-working and professional, the effort they put into the EYFS learning for the children is as good as any school nursery its really educational for them but also alot of fun which is what it should be all about it really brought on my girls confidence and learning to such a high standard ready for them starting school. Keep up the good work girls

Our eldest son (4 years old) attended Tracey following us trying a couple of private nurseries at which he just didn't settle. Tracey & the girls were so welcoming and fun that he immediately settled and enjoyed coming here. He enjoyed all activities and it made life so much easier knowing he was settled when we left for work, we had regular updates via emails an daily diaries. We found Tracey, Tia & Nicole that great that our daughter (8 months) has now started here and we hope will love it just as much as her brother. I honestly wouldn't go back to private nurseries now as this is a much more personal service and more homely for children. :)
by PennyEd on 10/03/2017
When I first met Tracey over 2 years ago I knew she was the childminder for us. She is so friendly and welcoming & my son loves going there. He is always kept busy having fun & I love the photo updates we get. The girls are great & the setting is fab and I have found Tracey to be very flexible when I have needed it.
by MamoB on 09/03/2017
Tracey has been taking and picking up our two sons from school for 3 years now and we couldn't be happier. It's a home from home environment, everyone is really friendly and the boys have no complaints about going. Even though they are there for short periods of time before and after school there is always something for them to do. They do a fantastic job!
by Parent on 09/03/2017
When Tracey first told me she was doing a childminding course I immediately asked her if she would inform me as to when she was qualified as I knew she would be the perfect childminder. Tracey is an extremely friendly lady who always has a smile on her face and children seem to warm to her so quickly. She is very bubbly and has such a caring nature. My children thoroughly enjoy their time at Tracey's, she always has something new for them to do and has a great play area in her garden. I never have to worry when my children are with Tracey as i know they are in a very happy and safe environment.
by Parent on 09/03/2017
My 20 month old son has been at Tracey's Treasurers for over a year. He thoroughly enjoys his time there. All of the staff are professional and friendly. There is a wide and varied range of activities in and out of the setting. I would highly recommend Tracey's Treasurers for your child care.
by Kate on 08/03/2017
Tracey and the girls have been looking after our son for 2 years now and we couldn't be happier with the care he gets. We have total peace of mind knowing he is so well cared for while we're at work and more importantly he is happy to go. We get daily diary updates and photos emailed showing how much fun he's having throughout his day. He gets home cooked meals every day and has come on so much by being at Tracey's. I can't recommend Tracey and the girls enough, they are simply wonderful and our little man just loves them!
by Parent on 07/03/2017
Tracy looks after my very shy daughter before and after school and she really is treated like a member of the family and I have no reservations leaving her there.
by Parent on 07/03/2017
My little boy loved his time at Tracey's Little Treasures. Tracey helped build his confidence in preparation for nursery. He learned loads and had loads of fun.
Tracey got him to try different foods (which he wouldn't try for me). Meals were recorded in his daily diary along with a run down of the daily activities. He really enjoyed going to the Sing and Sign group on a Monday and joining in with the other children.
I was provided with regular development updates and photos in his EYFS file. Tracey was always helpful when I asked for advice along the way too about sleeping, eating and whatever else I asked :-)
I would highly recommend Tracey and her team. They provide a great service that is educational, fun, safe and reliable!
by Parent on 06/03/2017
We first started using Tracey in November 2016, we previously only used a private nursery but with the new addition to our family, we had to be cost effective. Having never used a childminding service before we were unsure of the service so we decided to trial Tracey's treasures & we have honestly never looked back.
Tracey & the girls deliver such a high standard in care & development for our 2 children that even the school nursery teacher where our little girl attends on an afternoon pulled me to one side & expressed her delight at Tracey's keen & proactive approach on running the same curriculum development program in order to meet the same standard of teaching. We are very much involved in the development of both children & constantly updated in all new milestones the children hit.
To say that my children are in a friendly, safe, loving & family orientated environment is an understatement. The care given is out of this world, Tracey and her team are the nicest girls you could ever wish to have involved in your children's lives. Her family are always so welcoming & it's a home from home environment. I cannot recommend enough x
by Parent on 06/03/2017
Tracey and her team are fab! They have looked after my little girl for nearly 2 and a half years and she has developed and come along so much. She is confident, fearless and progressing academically better than we ever imagined!
Tracey is flexiable and does everything she can to meet our needs as parents as well as meet all of our little girls needs! We get a daily diary of what she's been up to - they go to a variety of nurseries and playgroups providing children with excellent opportunities to socialise as well as learn in different environments!
Traceys setting is amazing - clean,tidy, full of excitement with toys and games for children of all ages and needs! Above all it is safe and secure!
Overall I couldn't recommend anyone better to be look after children! I intend to continue to use her service until we no longer need it!
by KWoodier on 06/03/2017
Both my children love it at Tracey's Little Treasures! The facilities are great; both inside and outside are specifically designed for the children. If they are not at 'home' they are out visiting local places and having lots of fun.
I am kept well informed of what my child has done during the day, including a daily diary (meals, sleep, activities) and photographs. Above all of this, when my child talks about Tracey at home I know that he loves being there.
Tracey's Little Treasures was recommended to me and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to another parent.
