I feel so lucky that we found Stacey as our childminder!
As a first time mum, I was very apprehensive about handing my son over to someone else, but as soon as we met Stacey and her lovely family I knew that we had found somewhere that he would be really happy.

We started him at 10 months old and initially he took a while to settle in (unsurprising as it was the first time we’d spent any significant time apart). Stacey was so supportive, trialling different methods to make him feel more at ease and after a couple of weeks it clicked - he hasn’t looked back since. Safe to say he now doesn’t want to come home at the end of the day!

It’s a really lovely setting with so many toys to play with and things to do – all the children seem to have so much fun together, and that’s really done wonders for my son’s confidence.
There’s a monthly activity plan and food planner so we always know what he’ll be getting up to – and the menu is amazing, all home-cooked and delicious.

We are kept regularly updated with photos throughout the day, and notes and comments on how he’s getting on, and if there are any challenges then Stacey is always ready to talk them through with us, even outside of ‘working hours’, which we really appreciate. She listens to any concerns and helps develop a plan that works for all of us. In these moments her near-20 years experience in childcare has really been invaluable.

In summary, Stacey has a wonderful knack making us feel at ease and fully confident leaving our son with her, but most importantly, he loves her and is so happy in this setting.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stacey – our little boy is really thriving with her.
