Our daughter started with Stacey when she was 15 months old and stayed until she started preschool. Initially, we found looking for childcare quite overwhelming and quickly realised that we wanted her to be in a home setting as opposed to a bigger nursery. Luckily, we found Acorns 2 Oaks, which far exceeded even our highest expectations. Our daughter absolutely loved going there and we were always confident knowing that she was in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment. We really appreciated Stacey’s knowledge and expertise of the early years framework and her wealth of experience in working with children in different settings over the course of her career. She really has a way with children - she is compassionate, caring and gentle. The range of activities and trips offered was incredible and it’s clear that Stacey puts a huge amount of care and attention into planning a stimulating schedule for the children that is both fun and supports their development. Similarly, Stacey offered a fantastic range of healthy meals, exposing children from an early age into a variety of flavours, textures etc.

The bond our daughter developed with Stacey and her family is really special - so much so that she’s recently started going there again after school and is thrilled to be back! We also loved that she was with a small group of children that she got to know really well and some of those friendships have continued to this day.

Acorns 2 Oaks is managed very professionally and Stacey communicates her policies clearly. There is a robust sickness policy in place, which ultimately mitigates the risk of children passing on illnesses. We found Stacey incredibly approachable and she was always will to work with us if we were facing challenges (e.g. when our daughter was teething).

In short, I would recommend Stacey to anyone looking for childcare in South Bristol without hesitation. Our daughter absolutely thrived with her.
