Tracy has looked after both my boys for the last 8 years. When I first made contact with Tracy, my elder son (with additional needs) was due to start in Reception class. Following an initial visit to the school it was apparent to me that the school’s before and after school clubs would not be appropriate for him when the time came for starting school. I found Tracy on here and sent her a panicked message explaining our circumstances and concerns. All summer she allowed us to visit her so that she quickly became part of my son’s group of trusted people. I needn’t have worried! Tracy has experience with Autism and ADHD and knew just how to handle my son sensitively but always remaining firm and calm too. The care that she and her family have shown is second to none and so she was a natural choice for us when our younger son started school. We could have gone down the before and after school options with him but I wanted to stay with Tracy. As he gets older I keep asking for him to stay on; he’s now approaching Y5 and my opinion hasn’t and won’t change. She is very flexible if I know I’m going to be late, she always has something exciting for him to tackle after a long day at school and she provides him with fabulous healthy snacks. Behaviour (including manners) are extremely important to both my husband and I - Tracy has high expectations and won’t stand for any nonsense! Highly recommend Cotton Socks to all families, living locally, who aren’t sure if before and after school clubs will be a good fit for their children.
