As first-time parents we struggled figuring out what would be the best childcare for our 11 month old. But when we met Stacey and her family for the first time, we knew it would be the best match for our son. Her partner and two young children are lovely and her dog Jessie and cat Duke make great playmates. She childminds in her own home and has made it the perfect environment for young ones.
Stacey has dedicated a large part of her house to her childminding which features complete freeflow. There is a great play area of which she switches up the configuration once in a while to keep things new and efficient. She also switches up toys every so often so the children don't get bored. Her garden is big and easy to access with fun things like mudkitchen and playhouses. For outings she has a big buggy that fits 4 children and they would visit playgrounds, parks and soft play.
Just like a monthly activity plan, she also shares a monthly mealplan. She takes any dietary requirements you might have into consideration which we appreciated. Her food is well balanced and very tasty. Once in a while she also does baking as an activity with the children of which the very tasty results sometimes made it home for us!
The most important thing is that our boy loved being with Stacey. He felt very much at home and was very excited each morning going up to see her. When he first started going he needed a bit of help settling in but Stacey worked together with us until he felt more at ease.
Not ever did we worry when he was with her. We got many lovely updates throughout the day and lots of artwork was brought home. As caring as she is with the children, she is just as professional with her admin and keeping us updated on changes to policies, holidays and how our son was doing.
We feel lucky to have found Stacey when we did. She instantly took all our first-time parent worries away and so would highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a warm, caring and joyous childminder!
