Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) has big ambitions to start her own nursery in Emmerdale, but she needs some help to make it happen.
Things have got off to a good start after she secured funding for the business venture from Caleb Milligan (William Ash) – though not in the most moral of ways.
Tracy and Caleb had been having an affair, and in order to get what she wanted, Tracy threatened to expose it to Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) unless Caleb gave her the money.
Though Caleb was desperate for Cain not to find out, lest it affect their good relationship, he attempted to call Tracy’s bluff by suggesting she wouldn’t risk her marriage to Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter).
However, Tracy was serious, and made it clear she was prepared to risk everything.
With the money under her belt, Tracy heads to pitch her idea to Kim Tate and Gabby Thomas (Claire King and Rosie Bentham) as a new spoiler video shows.
As Tracy talks through her idea, she reveals exactly what she has planned for her nursery, and it isn’t what you’d expect.
Tracy plans for Mini Hopper’s Forest Nursery – named after The Hop, as Tracy points out – to focus on outdoor learning, something which Kim is instantly wary of.
Unconvinced that outdoor play could constitute to a sensible educational environment, Kim makes it clear that she’s heard enough, before making a swift exit.
Tracy is clearly disappointed, but there is still hope, as Gabby appears intrigued by the idea.
As Tracy discusses her research and proves how popular these types of schools have become by revealing the waiting lists of the ones nearby.
Gabby is clearly impressed, but will it be enough to make Tracy’s nursery plans a reality?
