My Summary
About Me
Hi everyone. I am a mum to 3 children, I have 2 daughter's & a son that are grown up, so they no longer live at home so it's just myself & my husband, we have 6 granddaughters between us & 1 grandson ( for now lol )
I chose to be a childminder because once my girl's left home,I found my house too quiet with just me & my son as my husband worked nights so I decided to childmind, we live in a 3 bedroom semi & have a 110 ft garden that is very secure, we grow fruit & vegetables with the children who take some home & also pick & eat them here ? i wanted noise again because I missed the joy when my children weren’t there.
We have lots of toys/equipment etc for children to play with or on in our garden :) & I love being with young children ,watching & helping them develop & progress.
It’s lovely, because they do brighten up my day & make me laugh :) we really do have a good time :)
My Experience
I've been childminding since 2008 & I love it :)
I go to mother & toddler groups each week & I go to cheeky monkey's,we have picnic's (weather permitting) & go to local parks every day .we have a good selection of musical instruments & toy's for inside & outside play & we have story time.
I don't have the TV on for the children & i do a lot of puzzles & eye to hand co-ordination , I also teach the children about growing vegetables & they have their own raised garden ,so they take the vegetables we grow home. I believe in inspiring the young to achieve things & giving them love & security & routine which is very important so I work with the parents.
My Qualifications
I have now got my COVID-19 certificate as I have had all the injections. I have taken my D B S & 1st aid & health/hygiene & child protection,safeguarding & food hygiene courses & have started my diploma 3 in childcare & i did a short course on sign language,

Tracey has been looking after our daughter, Yael, who is 13 months old, for the past 6 months. She’s been absolutely wonderful with her and I can see the special bond that she has with our daughter.
From the very start when we first met Tracey, she has been so open and communicative with us. We were nervous for our daughter to start but Tracey was so amazing at reassuring us and helping her settle in. Our daughter adapted so much better than we anticipated thanks to the FaceTiming with Tracey prior to her starting.
We can see how much Yael has grown and developed from her time with Tracey. This is particularly due to the wonderful fun activities she has planned for the kids each day, whether is play group, music group, walks to the park, picnics, or trips to the library. Our daughter has become such a social little butterfly being exposed to other kids and having stimulating activities.
One of the things we love about Tracey, is that she is great at communicating with us. Every day we get an update on what they have been up to and the wonderful nutritious lunches that she prepares for the kids. We love these daily updates.
Our little girl turned one this year and Tracey was so kind to get her a birthday gift. It’s now one of her favourite toys that she plays with daily.
We are so sad to be leaving Tracey as we are moving to the USA. We wish that Yael could have stayed with Tracey longer but we are so grateful to have had her look after our little girl and show her some much love and care. Thank you for everything Tracey, we are going to miss you. :)

Thank you so much for your lovely review.
I shall miss her so much, she settled in so well & has become part of our little family xx
Tracey watched our son, Wilder, from the age of 4 months to almost 2 years old. We know that he is such a well rounded and happy boy because of her influence in his life.
We moved to Cambridge from the United States and finding childcare in a new country for our first child was daunting. Tracey made it incredibly easy for us as new parents and new in the area. From the beginning, she was very willing to work with the schedule that we had him on and was always great about asking if we wanted to change anything up. She was also so helpful in providing little tips or advice when we were facing a new phase of parenting or just trying to find a baby product in the UK! Tracey took care of our son Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 5:30 and was flexible when we needed it. She also planned her personal holidays around ours and the other parents holidays to make it most convenient for everyone.
The most wonderful part of our time with Tracey was seeing how much truly cared for our little boy. She was excited to see him every single day and took wonderful and intentional care of him. She was so good about making sure the kids played outside and got to go on little fields trips around Cambridge every week. She was always faithful about sending updates with pictures throughout the day. Wilder was excited to go over to Tracey’s everyday and spent time with other wonderful children under her care. Tracey did something special for Wilder’s birthday and made all the holidays very special for all the kids.
We have recently moved away from the UK, but we would have loved to have kept Wilder with her for as long as she would allow. We will always think of her fondly and remember her as part of our family in England.

Thank you for your lovely review Andrew.
As you know we miss him so much & wish you all a happy healthy time in Japan.
I’m sure Wilder will settle with his new childminder & love experiencing the new lifestyle.
He will always hold a special place in our hearts xxxx

I have enjoyed & loved caring for our little man, I’m so glad you asked me to care for him at such a young age (3 months) I hope you enjoy Japan & we will stay in touch.
He is missed so very much xx
Tracey has been taking care of our little boy, currently 14 months old, for almost 5 months now, right after our family moved to Cambridge from London. Tracey helped our little Vlasis integrate and settle in the best way possible. We've also been overjoyed to receive her daily updates, filled with fun activities for the kids' development.
We have been very pleased with the loving and caring environment she has created for Vlasis and the other little ones. We very much enjoy your daily updates and the pictures and videos . We are very happy with the activities Vlasis has been doing such as the playgroups, music groups, library visits and walks outside and with the fact that he has become a sociable little boy who loves being around other kids and playing with the other childminding kids. We are also happy that he is being food and sleep trained by you, as this is a big help for us. Tracey also remembered our little boy's birthday and got him a gift and on Halloween, she very kindly gifted a different costume to each of her childminding kids and painted their faces beautifully! Our little one turned out to be the most beautiful little Dracula/vampire and we will always remember that day fondly, thanks to Tracey!
We definitely recommend Tracey 😃

Thank you for your lovely review.
Vlasis has settled in lovely & has become part of our little family.
He’s such a happy little boy & throughly enjoys our activities
Our daughter has been attending Tracey’s since she was 8 months (she is over 2 now) old and we couldn’t be more satisfied.
She has always been cared for at the highest standard, she has fun with the other children and she comes home with a smile every day. Tracey has supported us through weaning, sleep pattern adjustments, language development (our little one is bi-lingual) and many more things which go above and beyond simply caring for a child. She is always flexible and collaborates with the family to ensure the children are happy.
Activities are well planned, we get daily updates and pictures, the house is spotless but with plenty of age appropriate toys and book, and the food is delicious and freshly made. There is also a wonderful garden that the children love using, daily long walks and a lot of open air time.
Highly recommend!
