We were incredibly lucky to find Stacey on childcare.co.uk when we were expecting our first child. After our first meeting with her we had a gut feeling that Stacey was the right childminder for us, and we were right.

Stacey looked after our daughter from the age of 9 months to nearly 4 years old. During this time we've seen our daughter thrive in the environment that Stacey has created for the kids, with plenty of outdoors play as well as age-appropriate learning activities. Stacey goes out of her way to come up with new activities and themes that encourage learning and having fun. She looks after children of various ages, and it's nice for the younger ones to try to emulate the older kids, and for the older kids to learn how to care for younger kids.

We really cannot recommend Stacey enough. We were a bit heartbroken when our daughter had to leave Stacey's childminding practice but we're sure Stacey will remain part of her life as she's created a special bond with her over the past 3 years.

Thank you Stacey for being such a wonderful guide and partner in our daughter's first years!
