Cheeky Chimps's Reviews

Excellent care of both the children &families

Tracey has been minding both boys 1yo and 5yo since August and has been amazing with them both. From the first visit onwards she's always been friendly, caring and professional.
Tracey has adapted to new covid rules amazingly and keeps the children safe. She accommodated us by doing school drop off and pick up whilst breakfast clubs are paused. We're always kept upto date by WhatsApp with the boys activities and she uses an app for contracts/invoices so everything is clear and simple. Both boys are happy and thriving in her care!

A brilliant childminder - 100% recommend

Tracey is an incredible childminder. She has such a passion for looking after children and I feel 100% happy leaving my 2-year-old daughter with her every day she attends.

Tracey provides brilliant opportunities for the children she looks after - she takes them out and about while keeping them totally safe; she plans exciting and inspiring activities for them while at her lovely home; they get to bake, play with the two lovely doggies Tia and Bailey, do all sorts of crafts, make music, and learn so much through play.

Our daughter enjoys her time with Tracey so much - every day that we tell her she’s going to Tracey’s, she squeals with delight!

Tracey provides healthy meals and snacks, taking into account any preferences or requirements. She has excellent communication with parents.

What really sets her apart, though, is the care and love she shows the children in her care. She is so kind, caring and funny, and the children clearly love her as much as she loves them! She is a natural childminder, definitely doing what she was born to do! Tracey is a lovely person and I feel so delighted that our daughter gets to spend her days in her care. She goes above and beyond to support parents in whatever way she can.

I know from personal experience that not all childminders are the same. Tracey is a real gem of a childminder, and I cannot recommend her enough.

Wow... Thank you so much! I am so very lucky to have such wonderful families and children. I consider you all an extension of my family and 'C' is such a credit to you. I adore you all. Xxx

Would highly recommend

Tracey has looked after Max since he first started school and he has now been with her for over 4 years. Whilst I have only needed after school provision two days a week Max has been well cared for from the minute he arrived.

My biggest concern when he first went to Tracey was his fear of dogs (he was chased by two when he was a toddler). Not only did Tracey reassure me but she took the time with Max to introduce him to her dogs, stayed with him throughout, taught him about their nature and gave him the opportunity and reassurance to get over this fear. He has grown up with Bailey and Tia and he now adores them both. I am truly grateful for this Tracey and haven't said it directly to you - from someone who is a bit wary of dogs herself I don't know how this would have solved itself without you - thank you!!!

Tracey has always been reliable and has been willing to look after Max outside of contractual hours when I have had an emergency. As a single mum this has been invaluable.

My dad describes Tracey as 'salt of the earth' - I agree

Max has always felt safe and secure and considers her part of family - that is the most important thing!!!!

More than just a childminder..

My sons started with Tracey in 2013.. From the very first moment I left them, I knew they were in good hands. I never doubt that Tracey has their best interests at heart and will always help me out with childcare/advice if needed... often at short notice.. because I forget everything!
My sons are typical boys... fighting constantly, arguing every second of the day, but Tracey never had a bad word to say.. My oldest son, who now lives with his dad even asks to visit Tracey on a weekend!.. My youngest who is still with Tracey 4 nights a week, always tells me how he has learnt something new, he tells me what they have done and how much he enjoys being there.
Four years on and I would never consider leaving my son with anyone else.. He has grown up so much and is so smart. Tracey is more than a childminder.. to me and my sons, for which I am forever grateful.

Thank you for such lovely comments Sammie. I remember how delayed his physical development and social skills were when he started here with us...however in just a few months he was on target in all areas, and is now a happy and confident little boy. We all adore him here as he is such a wonderful character and cheeky member that keeps us on our toes. He is a firm favorite with the other children and we are so pleased your as happy to be with us as we are to have you here. we have so much more learning experiences planned in the near future to further his development, prepare him for nursery and ensure he is socially and mentally ready for his next phase......we hope to continue to provide the high level of care you expect from us here at Bambinos Corner xxx
