My son has been attending for 18 months he is cared for by Tracey for 5 days a week . From day one we have been overwhelmed by how he has been made to feel like he is one of the family and that it is like a home from home we're he is cared for in a safe and stimulating environment.This really put us at ease which was great after poor experiences with nursery with hes elder sibling. He settled in really quickly which was great and that made us feel better as he felt comfortable and safe without us infact I don't think he's ever been upset to leave us for tracey as he loves going there in the mornings . We are extremely happy with the care that our son has received and the great progress he has made which has come from the interactions he has from Tracey's and the fact that he receives great individual and group interactions, he is turning into a well natured child and is coming on leaps and bounds with he's development and talking .Tracey's setting is always welcoming, clean and we'll organised there is always lots for him to do and he is always stimulated whilst in Traceys care. He absolutely loves the outside area which has an abundance of toys and equipment this is great for him as he is a really active child so having the outdoor area where he can play safely and burn off some energy is great and helps him to learn new skills.

Tracey is there to tell us what he has done so we always feel involved, she often sends us pictures so we can see what he gets up to which is great and a really nice personal touch which you don't often get with a nursery. The boundaries set in the setting are great and Tracey is a fantastic communicator so he has learned the boundaries and he is confident and happy to approach Tracey when he needs something or comforting.

Even though I provide him with he's lunch Tracey provides him with well balanced healthy snacks and drinks everyday.

In summary Tracey goes above and beyond the duty of a childminder and We are extremely happy with the care our son receives and will be really sad when he eventually goes to school as she will have a special place in our family for the care and compassion she has shown for him whilst in her care and for helping him to grow into the well natured child he is becoming.

We cannot recommend her enough and her service is second to none!
