I am leaving this second review for Tracie with a very heavy heart as sadly, after 2 and half years, it is time for my son to leave this wonderful lady and move on to his next adventure of starting school. Of course I am excited for this new chapter in his life but Tracie has been so paramount in his preparation for it that it is still sad to move on.

I am so enormously grateful to Tracie. She provides a wonderfully fun yet educational setting that is full of tailored activities, resources and toys so that any child of any age can join in and have fun as they develop at their own pace. She is such a caring and passionate person in all that she does with, and for the children. Her house has been converted into a young child's heaven with themed areas of play both inside and out and she is always thinking of and planning new topics to make the nurturing of new skills and interests exciting and varied but always fun. A child cared for by Tracie is always a happy and content child.

I said it before in my other review and it's still the same today. Tracie is a real diamond who always goes above and beyond for the children in her care and their parent(s). She is so approachable and warm and a parents happiness concerning their child's care is as important to her as the child themselves. She is always available to chat, guide or advise if a parent wishes to 'pick her brain' regarding their child as I have on more than one occasion.

If you are reading through this review while trying to decide who you will be happy with to look after your child when you can't, then I promise you - YOU HAVE FOUND HER. Get in touch, go round for a chat and you will see for yourself that Tracie is perfect for that role. You will immediately feel comfortable and confident.

Tracie is so much more than a childminder, 5 stars aren't enough to rate what she does and we will miss her. x
