About Me

My name is Tracey Watson and I live and work alongside my husband Chris, who's my childminding assistant. We have been a childminding family since 2004. We have a daughter and family cat.

My Experience

Our planned curriculum using the early years foundation stage, supports the children’s learning through play. The seven areas of the EYFS underpin the children's early development.

Our parents/carers receive daily messages and photos about their child. We encourage verbal handovers with our families in the mornings and evenings. Our parents/carers noticeboard will keep you updated about the children's weekly planned activity’s. Our setting encourages working in partnership with parents by encouraging home learning with families.

Our activities include making music, playdough, arts & crafts, cookery, sandplay, reading & story time, garden play, construction play, free play. These all encourage imagination and language skills and help to build the children's confidence.

We celebrate special occasions such as birthdays with parties.

Absolutely amazing!

5 stars

Tracey and her husband Chris, who have been looking after my 1.5-year-old child, are absolute superstars. My child is very attached to me and typically struggles to trust other people. However, Tracey and Chris have provided individual support, taking small, thoughtful steps to help my child settle in more comfortably.

After just two months, my child has adjusted remarkably well and thoroughly enjoys spending time with Tracey and Chris. Their kindness and warmth were exactly what I was looking for in a childminder, as I wanted my child to feel as though they were surrounded by family.

They offer fantastic activities, such as garden play, playdough, and more, which my child absolutely loves. I couldn't be happier with the care and attention they provide!

Communication with parents is of the highest standard as well. We are always informed about when he naps, how much he eats, and what activities he has been doing throughout the day.

We couldn’t have found a better childminder!

Dear Aneta.

Thank you for taking the time to write this beautiful and heartfelt review for us.

Tracey and Chris

Amazing Childminder's

5 stars

This is our first time using a childminder as we really needed help with childcare. Honestly, no regrets at all!!Our son who is nearly 2 years old has been with Tracey and Chris for 2 months now and we can see how comfortable Matteo is with both of them. As parents we need to ensure our kids are looked after by the right people and when we first met Tracey and Chris we felt an instant warmness from them and our heart felt at ease knowing Matteo will be looked after by kind and genuine people. Thank you both for your understanding with us and for looking after our son. We have seen such a big change in him all positive and we cannot thank you enough. We would definitely recommend Tracey and Chris to parents who need help with childcare. Honestly, the best!
Lots of love from Kelly and Mark S xxxx

Wonderful childcare!

5 stars

We were thrilled to find that Tracey and Chris had a place for our youngest son, having been so happy with their care of our eldest son. We would not have wanted to return to them if we had not felt it was still the most wonderful environment for the care of our children. Tracey and Chris are so warm and friendly and care deeply about the children. I’m amazed at the variety of toys they have, and the activities they do with the children are varied, with the added bonus of having a big garden for the children to play in. It really is a home from home and both our sons have been very happy there. And as parents, we therefore couldn’t be happier either!

Dear Helen and Didier.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful review.

We are so glad that you decided to join us again.

Absolutely fantastic

5 stars

Having had our daughter (who is now almost 6) be with Tracey and Chris from 6 months until 3 years, we were so happy that they had a space for our little boy to join them earlier this year. Not only are they both fantastic with the children, providing home cooked meals, lovely activities and a home away from home environment, but they always ensure communication with us as the parents is prioritised, and work with us to make changes to routines when needed. Honestly couldn't be happier, and we know our little boy is having the best time with them too.

Our daughter has been going to Tracey and Chris for nearly a year now and she absolutely loves it. They do such a variety of learning activities each week with outside play in a big garden area too. Tracey and Chris are so warm, friendly and provide a wonderful nurturing environment for our daughter. She is thriving there and we are so grateful to have Tracey and Chris looking after her whilst we are at work.

Thank you. 😊

Amazing

5 stars

Tracey and Chris have been taking care of our one year old boy for 2 months now and he’s already made a huge developmental progress – self-feeding, talking, social skills etc. He’s being treated there as part of their family and feels happy and safe there.
There’s plenty of different activities – making music, different arts and crafts, playdough, baking, nature walks, garden play, storytelling, also learning the alphabet, counting etc.
They have access to a huge garden, plenty of toys, trucks, slides, a hedgehog house and even a tipi tent. We love the fact that he gets to play with children in different age groups. They all really look out for each other.
Great contact and plenty of messages through WhatsApp made the adaptation period much easier for us the parents – we receive a schedule for the following week ahead, daily menu, updates with photos and videos on how the day has been going including nap times, amount of food eaten and even poos.
Tracey and Chris are very warm and good people, we couldn’t be happier to have found you.

Tracey and Chris are lovely people and great childminders. My daughter loves every day with them! Nothing is too much trouble and they accommodate all needs. I’m so grateful to have found them as it’s made going back to work so much easier. I highly recommend their care!

We are so pleased that you chose our family to care for your little girl.

Outstanding childcare

5 stars

We feel extremely lucky to have found Tracey and Chris. They are so caring and have created a true home-from-home for our son. From day one, they made him feel so at ease and their years of experience, and the warm and friendly environment they’ve created in their own home for the children, meant that we as parents immediately felt at ease too. They provide a range of stimulating activities throughout the day and are always looking for new ways to help the children develop. They keep us really well informed throughout the day of things our son has been doing, including great videos and photos. He is so happy there, goes in with a huge smile every day, and we could not be happier parents either.

Thank you for taking the time to write this heart warming and up lifting review about Chris and myself.

We are so blessed that you decided to join our family.

Tracey and Chris. 😊

Couldn't be more grateful for both of you

5 stars

My little girl has been in the setting since she was 7 months old, full time, and we could not have been more happy to be with Tracey and Chris. Home cooked meals, home like setting and a lot of different daily activities definitely helped our little girl to be more confident as a little person. We get daily updates on activities, meal plans and progress on our little girl. She is 3 now and we decided to stay until she goes to pre school, as Tracey and Chris are too good to leave. Both are great people, very warm and caring. They pay attention to individual needs and progression and give advice if needed.

We are very lucky to have a place with them as they are great with kids, very reasonably priced and the children love them. Would recommend to anyone who needs childcare.

Unfortunately, I could not get any place as she is fully booked. But she responded to my messages kindly, with patience. This is why I feel even more sorry as I could not get a place. I wish all the best for her.
