Tracy has looked after both of my children since they were around six months old, my oldest is now five and my youngest is fifteen months. My husband and I are key workers and both work full time in busy operational roles and have been on various shift patterns over the five years that we have been with Tracy. She has always been extremely flexible and has given us the reassurance and support that we have needed to be able to go to work and give it 100% without being concerned about whether the children are happy and being looked after properly. I am so fortunate with Tracy that I can honestly say that have never had to experience one of the children being upset at me leaving them, I have in fact had my oldest on a few occasions being upset that he had to come home from Tracy's with me though!
To say that Tracy is part of the family is an understatement, she and her family have become a big part of our families life and I know that she loves and cares for my children as if they were her own. With no family members locally it means a lot to me that they have other people in their lives who care about them. I have always been happy with the amount of activities they have been involved in whether it be games at home or in the garden, play groups that Tracy runs or trips out to explore local parks etc. they are always guaranteed a fun day when they are with her. Tracy always ensures that I know what activities the children have been doing as well as simple things like what they have eaten and any naptimes etc. for my youngest son which I find really helpful to ensure that I am keeping things consistent when they are with me. There have also been numerous occasions where Tracy has either given me advice or we have worked together to help my children with their development which I have really appreciated.
When I first visited Tracy I recall being impressed by how well behaved and polite the children were and now I can see the same in my oldest which I feel is a credit to Tracy's care. Even the older children who no longer need 'childcare' still come back in the school holidays to help or to see the younger ones which is lovely to see.
Over the years Tracy has become not only a huge part of the children's lives but also a support for my husband and I and recognises when we are struggling or need a bit of a break! Little gestures like sending some food home for me with the children when I have worked a long shift have meant more than she will have realised. She has made the last five years as stress free as possible and will always be a part of their lives. I cannot recommend her enough.

Thank you for your lovely kind words . I feel very privileged to of had both your boys from tiny babies , and it’s been a true delight seeing them grow up . We’ve work very well over the years , working in partnership with great communication, flexibility and consideration to both our needs. I’m touched to hear that all my little extras are appreciated and so pleased that I can help and support you all as a family . You will be forever in my hearts and hope I remain part of your family as you move on with your new adventure.
Tracy has childminded my daughter Ava since 1 year old. She is now 5 and I think we will be with Tracy for many more years too. Tracy is no ordinary childminder, she extraordinarily, because she is.
- child focused: she’s tuned in to each and every child. When she updates me the end of the day she knows every detail, and not just a download of the day what to watch for, what to start thinking about doing soon, and where to keep consistency of message on things to ensure mummy and Tracy are saying/ developing the same things.
- Reliable: she has never not once missed a day.
- committed: Tracy is ‘all in’ with the families she takes on. I go as far as saying she’s a family minder too - identifying what each family needs and offering her services ie: when I was really sleep deprived she offering more hours or sharing educational books/materials relevant to each stage of development.
Flexible: there is no clock watching if Iam a few minutes late
Fresh Food: Ava has a hot cooked meal every day and her favourite is chicken curry which she asks for at home. And I know she adapts to all kinds of eating allergies/ needs.
Ava just loves going to Tracy’s house every and day and mummy has never needed to worry because I know she is safe, cared for and having fun!

Thank you so much for such lovely kind words. I truly love Ava and treat her like my own . She's fitted in as part of my family and it's been a joy to see her develope into the beautiful delightful girl that she is . She's a big personality and has trived on being part of a family with other children to play with and interact with . She's keen to take on responsible with the other little ones and treats them like brothers and sisters .
Thank you for appreciating my support and services - it's very tricky when your in a hectic demanding job , juggling the parent thing , I hope over the years I've taken the pressure off you all . Together we've got through some tricky times , supporting each other on this journey , and I feel very privileged and honoured to be part of it . T
I had had an awful experience with a childminder prior to Tracy and thought I wouldn't trust anyone again to look after my son. However as soon as my husband and I met Tracy and visited her home, I knew that she was the one who would be just right to look after him. Her home is warm and inviting and she has had some of the more grown up children she looks after now for several years which also put my mind at rest!
Both of my sons have attended Tracy's home/care and still do. The youngest one being there since 6 months old...although she met him when he was just 2 days old for a quick cuddle.
Tracy is fun and outgoing and likes to be out and about with the boys which is great as they don't get bored.
She has also guided us (as parents) through potty training and other milestones.
She likes to cook the boys fresh meals too with my older sons firm favourite being curry and rice!
Great all round care!
