Hi, My name is Alison, I am a registered full time child care provider based in Whitefield, Manchester.
I made the decision to start up my own business back in 2016 after my youngest son was born, I have researched all aspects of child care including the EYFS and I am qualified in Level 3 Award in Preparing to Work in Home-based Childcare (HBCA)
I have also gained my first aid certificate in paediatric first aid along side an additional course in safeguarding. (Safeguarding of Children)
My true passion is child development and I have enrolled in extra courses to gain a better understanding of this subject.
I run my business from my family home, there is a designated play room and garden where the children in my care will be based.
The environment I provide will be very much focused on developing the children in line with the EYFS. All schools and Ofsted-registered early years providers must follow the EYFS, including childminders, preschools, nurseries and school reception classes.
My Experience
Registered in September 2017 and I am currently studying a child psychology course (pre degree)
Regular training courses undertaken including weekly webinars to promote child development.

Alison is absolutely fabulous!
I feel that our kids have been left in the best hands... Peace of mind for a working mum...
Right from the beginning we could tell how nice Alison seemed. Very honest, straight forward and caring.
Our kids had loads of fun during their stay at Alison's. I could keep track of what they were up to, photos, comments, what they were eating... and they were full of stories at the end of the day. They have really enjoyed the time spent with her.
Very flexible hours as well...
Coco, my 8 year old says "You go out all the time and do fun things, walks, rides, parks" "Alison is very very nice, she's not strict" "She is always watching and aware of what you are doing" "She is a lot of fun too..."
Oliver, my 4 year old says "Alison is fun! I want to go back to her"
I would strongly recommend Alison to any parent considering childcare for their little ones.
We will definitely be looking forward to leaving our kiddies with her again.

Alison is amazing with my little girl, I feel like she treats her as one of her own, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

My three children attend Alison’s After School Club and also Holiday Club!
I cannot fault Cedar Tree Childcare! From the activities provided to the home cooked meals that are served to the children! Cedar Tree is a home from home environment!
Alison cares dearly for all the children that attend her setting and this shows in all she does! She always goes above and beyond! My children lost their Nana this year and Alison took time to speak to Children’s Bereavement Services to ensure she was doing her very best to help them during a difficult time! Totally above the call of a wrap around care provider! Thank you!
My children love going and are always slightly disappointed on the days they have to be collected by me as they think they’ll be missing out on all the fun.
My personal favourite touch is the children’s Birthday Tea Parties she throws and the huge hand painted Birthday Banners on the front of the house that waits for the birthday boy/girl upon their return home from school!
Cedar Tree Childcare you are the best!!

My child has been at Cedartree for almost a year since he was 18 months old. Initially, he was part time but within a month of him starting here I pulled him out of nursery and placed him with Cedartree full time. My son has progressed massively in all aspects and this is well documented on the termly reports that I get from Cedartree. I love how I get daily updates with photos so that I still feel involved with what my child gets up to. Alison is highly professional and my child adores her. I wouldn’t place my child anywhere else and we will both be upset when he leaves to start school.
