About Me
I have been childminding for a 28 years and have two outstandiings from OFSTED in 2009 and 2006. Most resent grade fromOFSTED was good.
I have three children all of which are grown up.
I have been married to Andy for 39 years. Andy is also a registered childminder with a good grade from OSTED. Andy helps out with childminding and the children greatly enjoy his company.
I live in West Green Crawley close to the hospital, Asda, town centre, town hall and the train station. I am also very close to the number 1 and 2 bus stops and the bus station is only a ten minute walk.
We visit various places in the holidays for instance this week we have been to London to visit the HMS Belfast and Brighton sea life centre. we also go Horsham park which the children love.
We make use of Goffs Park, the library, mini maymen, local toddler groups like jungle tots and local childminding groups.
We have a good sized garden with lots of outdoor equipment including bikes, slides, balls, bubbles, playhouse, play kitchen etc.
We have a cat Max who stays away whist the children are here. We also have a fence of pond with lots of fish including some who are babies 16 at the last count. A small tank of tropical fish in the lounge.

Tracey is very skilled, flexible and honest childminder. as an English language is not our native language, it is important to us, that our daughter feels confident to learn English natural way. she feels very happy while @ Tracey's place and we can see the big improvement she has done not just in language field. we also like a lot of activities and craft Tracey provides. She is very friendly and responsible. we are grateful for her help :)
we can only recommend Tracey as we know we can fully trust her
