Eligible to offer free 2 year old childcare places. Registered for Tax Free Childcare. Firstly I would like to thank you for considering me to care for your child. My name is Rebecca and I am a mum of 2. I have over ten years experience as a nursery nurse working as a senior member of staff. Due to funding cutbacks the nursery I worked for had to close. It was at this point in time that I decided to childmind. I work full time Monday to Friday. My hours of work are 8am until 6pm, however I am willing to negotiate longer hours and consider weekends if required.  I currently have 3 assistants working alongside me which enables us to cover a bigger selection of primary schools.I am also a commissioned childminder and able to offer 15 hours of education to over two year olds.

Tracy's mission is to offer an excellent standard of care which is exciting, educational and enjoyable. Tracy was a teacher of special education before leaving to have her second child.  She taught children/young adults with autism, among other associated learning difficulties, therefore has the knowledge to deal with the most unpredictable situations and a routine/structured day will be paramount. The children thrive upon the care she provides.
