About Me

Hi, I'm an Accredited Network Childminder, this means I am Quality Assured, and can provide the free entitlement for 2 and 3 year olds.

I've been married for over 25 years to Tony and we have two boys Bradley and Joshua. My husband Tony is a registrated assistant and holds a full CRB as well as a First Aid Certificate.

Both my husband and I have volunteered. Tony is a Qualified Football Coach and coached football for a number of years and I volunteered as a Therapist at the Counselling and Family Centre based in Altrincham.

My Experience

I've been working with children since August 2003 and I find it very rewarding. I have worked with many children over the years, and have experience of different cultures and needs.

I aim to provide a warm welcoming environment where children are encouraged to develop through play. We mark a variety of festivals throughout the year, visit local parks and travel further afield when possible to Dunham Massey, Walton Park, Chlorton Water Park, Barton Airport and local Musuems. We also have an annual day trip to the seaside.

Rain or shine we have plenty to do and have fun.

During term time I regularly attend a weekly toddler group, my local childminding group and visit various play centres.

5 stars

Tracey has looked after my 10 year old son for over 5 years and in that time has provided a home from home environment and supported him throughout his schooling. Tracey's friendly and loving approach endears her and her family to the children she cares for and their families also. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Tracey, her family and her work. We are very lucky to have found her all those years ago.

Fantastic childminder

5 stars

Tracey has looked after both of my children from being 6 months old. The youngest is about to go off to school so we have been with her over 5 years. I am so grateful for everything she has done for us. Tracey has provided excellent care, has been very flexible and has provided a wide range of activities and experiences that you just don't get with other providers. My oldest still enjoys going to Tracey's in the holidays on occasion. I am so glad that she has been part of our lives for so long and couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Happy children!

5 stars

Tracey has been looking after my little boy for the past three years (age 1 - 4). She provides a really loving and welcoming home, where he loves to play with Tracey and the other children she looks after.

My son loves the mixture of home play, and also going out and about to other group activities.

My older daughter also comes to Tracey during the school holidays. She also really enjoys coming and has always come home happy!

excellent childminder

5 stars

Tracey has been childminding my daughter since starting reception and is now in year 1 and I would recommend her to anyone and trust her 100%. Tracey is down to earth, teaches the children right from wrong, takes the children on days out everyday in the school holidays and has enough in her playroom to keep the children entertained. Love how on special occasions that are celebrated throughout the year she teaches the children all about different cultures and occasions, the craft work the children do is brilliant. Comes highly recommended.

Great child care

5 stars

My children have both been cared for by Tracy since they were babies and they have now been with her for 5 1/2 years. Tracy is very caring, fantastic with children and shows a lot of common sense - qualites that I wanted to find in a child-minder. She has proved to be 100% reliable which has meant I have been able to give my own work full attention as I haven't needed to worry about the children. Tracey has a lovely welcoming family and I know my children see it as their second home. My children love Tracy and you can't hope for more than that.

Friendly, homely setting

5 stars

Tracey was my childminder for all 4 of my children, ranging in age from 0 to 10 for 4 years, until I moved out the area. I found Tracey's setting friendly and welcoming. Tracey was always busy doing theme projects and took the kids on many interesting day's out. I found it very reassuring going to work knowing my children were happy and enjoyed there time spent with Tracey. If only she could of relocated with me :-)
