Tracy is an outstanding childminder. I first observed Tracy interacting with child in her care at the local infant and primary school whilst I was on maternity leave with my second child and taking my eldest daughter to school. I had already made the decision that I did not want to place a baby with my current child minder and the plan was for my second child to go to a local nursery. After observing Tracy and meeting with her I knew I wanted both my children to go to Tracy's child care setting.

Tracy always has the best interests of both the child and parent(s) at heart. Both my children are very happy, settled and well cared for. Tracy communicates on a regular basis with me as a parent and also offers both my child a range of opportunities to develop their communication amongst many other skills. Tracy also has excellent behaviour management policies in place which endorses the positive behaviour that I expect and want to see in my children. Tracy also goes the extra mile for the children in her setting and will also support to find out if my eldest has an issue that she is not admitting to or disclosing in the first instance when upset. Tracy's setting is warm and welcoming which makes both my children feel content but also puts me at ease as a working parent. Tracy also liaises with the school to mirror their themes in the nursery setting which I feel is a fantastic idea. I would highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking to place their child/children in a childcare setting. Even though I have a structured plan of care/attendance for my children Tracy is very flexible to adapt this where necessary.
