My Summary
About Me
******Term time only, however I may be able to offer some holiday cover.
I am an experienced Ofsted registered childminder.
I have 2 grown up children of my own.
We live in Bromley, close to both Bromley North and Sundridge Park stations.
I run a busy setting and work with an assistant part of the week. We go on lots of outings to enrich our learning experiences of the world around us, as well as doing a variety of activities at home to encourage educational and developmental skills through play.
Although we are busy, we are still a home from home setting, where children are nurtured and cared for in the home environment. We provide home cooked meals and snacks, and each child has their own room/private space for naps.
We have an allotment close by, where we grow our own fruit, veg and flowers. The children love to be involved, they can dig, water, plant and get messy, whilst learning about being environmentally friendly.
We promote kindness, and good manners.
Please contact me for a visit.
I also own a childcare setting in bromley common, for children aged 2-5. Please contact me for more info

Honestly I could write an essay of why I recommend Tracey. When I started looking for a childcare for my son she was the second visit. I was already disappointed on the nursery I visited but it clicked straight away that this was the right place for my son. She has tried to fulfill every need that my son had, from screaming his lungs out at first to not sleeping to not eating, just in a matter of time turned to a happy child that loves going to her home, eats all his food there and sleeps by himself. I love the fact that Tracey doesn’t stick to just going to the park or toddlers groups, she does so much more with the children (hands up I don’t know how tired she might get some times) and they gain so many new experiences by exploring the world rather than staying locked up in a setting. Finally Tracey’s assistant Lou is as amazing as she is herself, making sure for the first moment that my son feels safe and and happy there, trying her best to create a healthy attachment with him and my son adores her so that tells me more than enough of how much of good care he gets.

Tracey was an absolutely amazing childminder for my daughter. Tracey made the transition so smooth and easy for us both and my daughter was very happy in her care. Tracey and her two assistants knew my daughter inside out and always gave such a brilliant handover at pick up time. Tracey plans the most wonderful activities and day trips for the children and shares lots of photos for parents to see. My daughter now attends Tracey’s other childcare setting and is just as happy there. I would 100% recommend Tracey and wouldn’t use anyone else! Tracey truly does provide a home from home setting.

Tracey looked after our little girl from the age of 1-3. What can I say?! She is simply amazing! She is flexible, kind, understanding and makes the transition into childcare seamless. We were so sad to say goodbye when our daughter started Nursery school. However, in her time there, our little girl thrived. Tracey offers engaging trips, regular updates on WhatsApp and and a clear overview of what children will learn. Just fabulous!

Tracey is absolutely amazing. All three of my children have been looked after by her and I wouldn’t choose anyone else. My girls always looked forward to their days with Tracey and now they’ve left and are at school, my son who is now with Tracey, is the same. He loves his Tracey days. She’s so organised, excellent at communicating to parents and always has so many fun activities planned for the children. I’m amazed at how she fits it all in!
It took me a long time to choose the right childminder and I’m so glad I found Tracey. It’s like a home-from-home for my children and I would not want them to be with anyone else. An absolute gem and I couldn’t be happier.

We have 2 boys with Tracey 5 days a week, and we could not recommend her highly enough! Our oldest is now 2 and a half and our youngest is 1, and both have always loved it there. Everyday is varied, and they do all sorts of activities and trips. It’s also the perfect balance between a child minding setting, and a nursery. Tracey co owns the Wonder Years in Bromley which older children can go to as well, with Tracey doing all the transportation. Her assistants are all wonderful and friendly too, and they build great relationships with all of the kids. Our boys could not be happier with Tracey, which is all you want really. An absolute superstar. 10/10 wouldn’t be high enough!!

Tracey is lovely and we felt very comfortable leaving our 1 year old daughter with her at her home. She was always safe and enjoyed her time there and especially the meals and the trips out. Tracey is very friendly and approachable and always answers any questions we have. Her communication is excellent which is always a comfort when you’re away from your little one! Our daughter is now nearly 2.5 and goes to Tracey’s other setting as she likes the open space. Really happy to have found Tracey and her home as our first childminder :-)

Our daughter has been going to Tracey’s since she was a year old. I was very hesitant handing over as (because of Covid) she had rarely been apart from me, however Tracey was absolutely amazing and reassured me every step of the way in the early days. Now she’s been there for a year and a half and it really is the best decision we made! Tracey is lovely and caring and one of the reason I chose her is because I got such a lovely ‘mum’ vibe from her which is exactly what I wanted from my childminder.
Every day when we pick her up, my daughter talks about Tracey (and her two equally fantastic assistants) and all the great things they’ve done that day, whether that’s park or allotment visits, toddler groups or arts and crafts. This is also usually supported by lots of pictures on WhatsApp and notes in her contact book,
Tracey is also very flexible as whenever we’ve needed to change hours/days she’s always tried to be as accommodating as she can.
Will be very sad when we have to leave her next year!

My son has been going to Tracey since he was 13 months and he is so happy at her setting! The amount that they do with the children is incredible (they do so many things that I would never think of and I really love how much time they spend outdoors), when I tell other people about what they’ve been getting up to, they are amazed by the variety of activities Tracey offers. The communication is always great - a quick chat at the beginning and end of the day and a book where all the key information is written down each day.
I couldn’t be happier that we chose to send our son there!

My daughter has been going to Tracey since she was 18 months and I rave about her to everyone that will listen! The children are always out and about on fun adventures. Tracey has a team of people that have a larger setting so my daughter’s social skills and preparation for school has been excellent; she has all the plus points that some may look for from a nursery/preschool but with the one-to-one care that we wanted our child to have.
I love that Tracey does so much with them, they are out most days, in the summer they have a mini sports day, go to the allotment, museums and music groups! Tracey keeps us all in the loop, so we know what our children are up to on a daily basis. She completes reports on their developing skills, gives us updates on their day in a daily planner and we get picture updates as and when she is able to.
I trust Tracey and her team and as a first time mum to childcare I felt assured immediately this was the right setting for our daughter and will be very sad to leave when she starts school!

My two daughters have been with Tracy for 3 months now and I am so happy with the care they receive. I feel safe leaving them and Tracy communicates well with me on how they are doing. The food is varied and healthy and they get to do fun things out and about and at home - a very homely environment ??
