Tracy looked after my little boy for a few months when I returned to work after maternity leave. She has truly been amazing and made going back to work feel so much easier, knowing my son was so well looked after. He was always so happy in her care and enjoyed all the fun days out! Tracy is kind, caring and fun. She made sure she gave regular updates and sent pictures, which were much appreciated. I had to change child minder due to moving house to a different area which made us all very sad! Highly recommend Tracy, she’s the best x

Tracy looked after my 15 month old daughter for two days as emergency childcare and she was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout. Tracy was excellent with my daughter and put her at ease straight away, she settled into her care very easily and I’m pretty sure Tracy’s friendly demeanour has a lot to do with that. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!

Tracy childminded my son Benjamin when i returned to work. I was so nervous but there was no need, Benjamin loved his days with Tracy. She would send me updates and photos showing me all the amazing places they had been and activities he had done.
When Tracy opened her creche my daughter attended on an adhoc basis and was always disappointed when it was time to go home.
We still see Tracy out and about and my children love to chat and tell her what they have been up to

Tracy looked after my twins on a regular basis for a couple of years at her crèche. The care she provided and the facilities that she set up were exemplary and they thrived in her care. She aways had something, fun, new and stimulating for them to get involved in and they thoroughly enjoyed their sessions with her.

Tracy looked after my daughter before she started school. The care she received was excellent. Tracy always did fun activities with her, sending lots of regular updates and photos to me during the time they were together. Tracy had lots of brilliant experience and was warm and fun with the kids. My daughter settled with her quickly and still loves her lots. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a wonderful child minder.
