Stacey and the team has been so amazing with my child. When my child started, she just moved from another nursery and she settled in really quickly that I was really surprised how she settled, and the way she is waving to me bye when leaving her without crying really makes my days. Thanks so much

My daughter has been attending Stacey’s Littles Stars since she was 6 months old and she is now 4 and my now 2 year old has followed on the same. Both children run straight in without so much a a look back which must be a good sign.
They always have fun when there and we are constantly finding pictures and things they have made within the setting in their bags at the end of the day. Everyone who speaks to my 4 year old comments on how clear and concise her speech is and although I would love to take the credit I think it’s fair to say that Stacey and her team should take most of the credit.
They love the little trips out to the play group at the local church and Mercy enjoys the trips to the library when she’s able to go.
The App used by Stacey and her team keeps you up to date with their care throughout the day and they post photos and video of activities within the setting.
I’ve found Stacey to be incredibly flexible (as a shift worker my care requirement aren’t standard) and she has be able to accommodate us at short notice and in Emergency.
I would highly recommend Stacey and her team.

My 3 year old boy Connor has been going to Stacey's since July 2023. Connor needs speech therapy, the team have been amazing at starting off helping Connor. He loves going there and always has a smile on his face. He's developed so much since being there, with his speech, communicating, playing and being social. Stacey, Jenny and Nicolle are all wonderful and you can truly see how much they adore the children they look after.

Niamh has been going to Stacey’s little stars since she was 12 months old. Niamh will be 4 years old in a few weeks and Stacey, Jenny and Nicolle all have had a massive part in her being the happy, clever, confident little girls she is.
Stacey goes above and beyond to provide the best care for all the children she looks after. She is fully invested in how they grow up, learn and develop. She has planned activities daily that the kids all enjoy. The activities are planned to help educate the children but also be fun at the same time. Lunch time meals are all healthy to help children learn to like the foods they should be eating from an early age. Communication is fantastic along side notifications from the baby’s day’s app. Stacey has been so flexible looking after Niamh during the summer holidays and throughout the time my second daughter Orla was born.
Niamh loves her time at Stacey’s little stars. Stacey, Jenny and Nicolle are fantastic and I couldn't ask for anyone better to look after my daughter. We love them so much we will be sending Órla next year.

Stacey and her Assistant Jenny have been looking after my 2 year old daughter for the last 12 months and we couldn't of asked for a more friendly and accommodating service.
After initially suffering some separation anxiety, Stacey gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed to leave my daughter in her care knowing it was just a phase. Within a short period of time, she came out of her shell, began interacting with other children and looked forward to regular outings arranged by Stacey and her childminding colleagues. She comes home with lovely art work and most importantly, she always comes home with a smile on her face.
It is for these reasons that I've opted to take my daughter out of nursery over the next 12 months and leave her with Stacey and Jenny full time, as I believe this is where she has made the most progress.
Stacey completes a diary after every visit which comes home with my daughter so I too can track her development.
In my opinion, Stacey and Jenny are fantastic and I couldn't ask for two better childminders to look after my daughter in her early years education.
Thanks so much to both of you xx
