We knew from our first meeting with Stacey that she would be perfect for our little one. She has a lovely, welcoming home and we were delighted that the family dogs were also a big part of day to day life at home.
Stacey was always reliable, consistent and flexible with our childcare needs which was appreciated beyond measure. Communication was excellent, she always kept us updated, providing pictures and a detailed handover at collection time. Our little one loved going to see her and we are only changing settings due to a change in work commitments and availability. Hopefully she will go back on an ad-hoc basis during half term holidays so it's not goodbye forever!
Thank you Stacey <3

Our son loved being at Stacey’s. They were having adventures everyday and lots of cuddles which my little boy loves. Could not recommend enough. Warm and family atmosphere with addition of being around animals which is always great for kids.

Stacey is an incredible childminder who I would thoroughly recommend to anyone. This was my first time leaving my son with anyone outside of the family which gave me so much anxiety especially as he had never been away from me before and has been known to be super clingy. From the moment I met Stacey I knew she would take such great care of my boy and she did not disappoint. I also loved the fact Stacey loves animals as much as our family and our son often used to list her family dog as the friends he has at Stacey’s house. He has grown in confidence so much with Stacey’s support. She is so kind and always kept me up to date of the adventures they were on and my son was always happy to go and see her and cried when it was time to say goodbye to Stacey which I think is the highest praise.

I was first attracted to Stacey’s profile because of her love of animals and because my daughter loves dogs, Stacey’s home looked like the perfect environment for her first childcare setting.
Being the first person that I had ever left my daughter with, Stacey always kept me up to date with regular photos and updates which really helped put my mind at ease.
My daughter absolutely loved going to Stacey’s and I always knew she was in such good hands and never had to worry about anything.
Stacey’s home is a welcoming and comfortable environment and she always treated my daughter like she was a part of the family! In a short time I noticed such a difference and confidence in our daughter and she was picking up new words which we hadn’t heard her say before which was great to see.
Our time with Stacey was only short because of a change in work commitments but I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to her if we needed childcare and would definitely recommend her to others!
Thank you, Stacey!

On meeting Stacey we felt welcomed in to her home, we saw some lovely interaction with the children and she was great with our daughter who was 10 months at the time. The home has a nice family feel with the dogs, Betsy and Bo who are great with the children, though they are not unsupervised. We have a dog and going to Stacey has helped our daughter to be more gentle with our dog.
Our daughter has been nurtured and cared for, she is a confident child but we feel that this environment has promoted this.
Stacey is wonderful, we would highly recommend her.

Our daughter has been with Stacey since July 2017 and has thoroughly enjoyed her time here. She has grown and thrived in Stacey’s setting and had the awesome opportunity of being around animals too. We are all going to miss Stacey. X

Due to a contract ending my daughter was only with Stacey about 3 months, but from the moment I met her I felt completely at ease and happy with the care she could provide my daughter. My daughter instantly felt at home with her, her family and the pets and I had no concerns that she would miss me while I was gone.
Lots of lovely trips to Fishers Farm and to local parks and she was fed a healthy meal at the end of each day too.
I highly recommend Stacey and really hope we can return to her when I am in employment again.

When my child was to start school in 2015, I started to panic as to how I would get him to and from school. As a single, full time working mum I couldn’t rely on anyone else to help me make sure my child could attend school and still allow me to work in my current job.
Turning to Childcare.co.uk I remained skeptical and cautious, looking for a solution for the childcare I needed. After reading reviews of many Childminders, I stumbled across Stacey (Kitty Cats).
Reading through her profile, I was immediately taken by her fondness of animals. Knowing that she had variety of animals in her care at home, I believed this to be indicative to her caring nature; I was completely right.
Since 2015, my child has been in Stacey’s care 5 days week and I have never had any concerns about the care that my child receives. Stacey has made my child feel like her home is his home and that he should feel safe and well looked after. Whilst being with Stacey, he has made great friends with the other children, Stacey’s family and also the animals that are in her care.
Stacey has helped me to encourage good eating habits whilst in her home, good social interaction and even my child’s creative side. Whenever possible she will take the children out to a local park to allow them time to play and have the freedom of outdoors before going home ready or dinner.
I would recommend anyone to get in touch with Stacey. She goes beyond her role and helps with the little things that just take off a little bit more stress. I couldn’t have been able to juggle school and work without her.
Stacey – Thank you always!

Stacy started looking after by son when he was a baby so I could go back to work, I was very worried about leaving him but Stacy made myself and my son very welcome and contained to support his growing needs. He is now two and a half and "my stacy" as he calls her is a very much vauled part of his care.
I could not recommend Stacy highly enough.

When we moved to Horsham from Middlands in 2012 I was worried as I have not know anybody around here who could recomend a good childminder. After searching for a bit I have met Stacey. Straight from the moment I have met her I knew I would like her to lookafter my then 2 and half year old son Andrew. She was welcoming and friendly and mumsy :-). From her action you can tell how much she loves being around children and children loves being around her and her lovely family. Andrew couldn't wait to go to her every week as a part from having great time by going to toddler groups he also enjoyed playing with Kitty, Staceys youngers daughter who is the same age as Andrew. Andrew no longer goes to Staceys as he is at school but he is missing his fun time at her house.
I couldn't recomend Stacey enough. She is fantastic childminder.
If need it I am happy to give references just contact Stacey for my details.

Stacey was recommended to us by a friend of mine due to her amazing love and care for her children.
When I first met her, I felt instantly at ease as well as my 5 year old son at the time. He has been with many different experienced child minders before, due to my busy working schedule. I must say, with Stacey he felt so comfortable right from the minute we walked through the door.
Stacey looked after my son for about a year, full time, Mon- Fri , before and after school. There wasn't even one day that he didn't want to go. He loved staying with Stacey, he was always happy and content, because she made him feel as if he was part of the family.
He developed very strong bonds with Stacey's children until today.
Stacey is a very experienced, warm, caring lady with a very calming nature. She was extremely reliable and flexible in the care she offered to us and adapted he care to meet the needs of all individual children in a very professional manner. There was always a beautiful atmosphere in her home.
Stacey provides the children with a wide range of activities, out door play and many other learning opportunities including visiting beaches, local farms, parks or educational places which enabled the little ones to socialise and develop further.
Stacey is a amazing ! I highly recommend her to everyone. She really brings out the best in children in a truly beautiful and nurturing way.

When we moved to Horsham Stacey was brilliant with our little one - she helped him settle in and has also been a great support to me.
She does so much with the kids - lots of outdoor time too which my little one loves. And her home is a home-from-home, so when they do spend time at the house they love it too!
Stacey works with you to help your child learn + grow and is always there to offer kind words and support - and really practical advice during the more challenging times like tantrums and potty training!

Stacey offers a highly experienced, calm, warm and nurturing environment with good balance of structure and fun. She has a genuine and natural passion for ensuring that each child in her care is safe , happy and content. She is flexible and communicative and the children are always her absolute priority. The children talk about her with affection and we'll always be grateful for her reliable and trustworthy childcare.
