The mum-of-five opened up to her followers, saying: “Belle’s first day at nursery [sunshine emoji and crying face emoji]. I am not ok [crying face emoji]. Belle ran into nursery and didn’t look back. She had the best day, she didn’t mention us once [crying laughing emoji]. I’m convinced that Belle is so confident and content because she knows she has the best friend in the world by her side, always looking out for her and always there when she needs her.”

She continued: “Sisters are so special. And Rose you are the most incredible big sister Belle could have wished for. From the moment she was born. Happy first day at nursery Belle, the world is yours.”

Additionally, Stacey explained why Belle, who just turned two last week, started nursery, posting on her Instagram Story: “Honestly where does the time go? Our last baby at nursery [crying face emoji].
