Welcome to Tracy Hodge Ofsted Childminder's setting

"You are a total lifesaver, thanks!" 

" When she started school is was clear that from your setting she was confident and adaptable. 

You gave her the skills to cope with the outside world preparing her for the school world surroundings. Whilst at the same time she has also gained a good level of respect to authority, to which she continues to show into her second year of school.

She has developed that even further by becoming a great role model for her peers and is now a school Councilor (their first ever). Her time with you helped her become more sociable with others of different ages. 

She experienced the younger years of being looked after by her elders and she also experienced being a leader with her younger friends. You gave her that opportunity to grow and blossom."

"Thank you for everything that you have done for..........over the last 4 years.  It been very much appreciated knowing that she has been in such safe and capable hands.     You have given her a brilliant grounding in her Early Years which I know will stand her in good stead for starting her school years".  

"Thank you for looking after me and helping me become the lovely little girl I am today.  I'm so excited for school, but I can't wait to see you in the holidays!" 

"Couldn't be anymore grateful for you!"

"You are amazing people, who my baby absolutely adores!" 

"The Learning Environment is a lot cosier and more personal, with just Trace and the other children - rather than being a big setting with multiple staff members.."

"Its easier to build better relationships." 

"Teaches consistency & security as the children know what is happening each day and who they are spending time with". 

"Lots of trust!.  The boundaries are consistent with our household and this is massively important to us."

"Most importantly, our daughter enjoys it, enjoys spending time with Trace and the other children and is always happy"!

"We want to thank you for all of your kindness, support & help you have given us to shape our little boy.  You were the first person we trusted with our little boy & I believe you were one of the best decisions we have made for our son & as a result, you have helped to shape our little bouncy boy." 

"Very accommodating and flexible; adjusting hours/days where possible to continue meeting our child and family's childcare needs." 

"Our daughter loves attending - she gets excited as soon as we pull up outside and always comes back home in a good mood." 

"It feels like Trace really knows each individual child, making the care she provides a lot more personal". 

"Great opportunities for learning and play on a day to day basis, with events such as yoga and Zoolab that allow the children to have fun, learn and to explore the world around them." 

"My little one has been here since he was 11mths & has thrived. We are so lucky to have found a caring, trustworthy & flexible childminder on our doorstep..    His speech & social skills have come on leaps & bound; its so lovely that he is with a range of children, from babies to school age." 

"The amount he learns on a weekly basis is fantastic; he is so confident with counting & reciting the alphabet; singing all sorts of nursery rhymes & loves books & reading". 

"We love the home environment & the care & attention he receives is amazing. He will carry on going as he loves it so much & for the school holidays when he is at school.  We also have our 2nd baby starting soon, which we are so grateful for!".
