Zebras Tots's Reviews

🌟perfect🌟

My daughter attended zebras tots from year 2 up until year 6 and always had a lot of fun there. She went to zehras after school and occasionally before school as well. Every day she would come home and tell me all about her time there. Zehra always arranges fun activities for the children so they don't get bored and always finds time to spend with each child in turn, forming an special bond with all of them. She is so amazing that it cant even be put into words! I would reccomend zehra to any parent who needs a childminder they can trust😁!

Best childminder ever!

Zehra looked after my daughters for more than 2 years now. My little one was 8 months old back then, and my eldest one 7 years old.
She is a very polite, organised, approaching lady, taking an extra mile to make everyone happy. My little one returned always clean, changed, fed and happy; I’ve always known what the girls ate and how much, if the little one slept and for how long and the activities done over the day. Zehra would always make time to send photos or to talk about any eventual enquires. I can’t thank her enough for every effort she made in order to make my girls feel like home. Thank you lovely!!

Great Childminder :)

Zehra has been amazing with our 4 year old daughter it was great that drop off and pick up from school was available. Her place is well looked after, tidy and clean. Zehra is a highly professional individual with a fantastic approach to children - everything you might need from a childminder, lovely and very communicative person. Thank you for all your help. X

Absolutely amazing!

Our son has been going here full time Monday -Friday since he was 9 months. He is now over 2 years old. Zehra is amazing and became as a family member to us.

Healthy food was very important when he was just a baby and she was always exploring new, healthy menus for us.

As it is our first child, she is always helping out with any concerns/ questions. Zehra is available all the time we need her.

Our son is learning a lot too and we are getting updates on his progress and its usually a struggle to get him out to go home as he is enjoying time here a lot!

Basically finding Zehra, was one of the best things that happened in our lives!

Amazing childcare provider.

My son has been going since he was 2 years old, he likes one to one time or at least time doing planned activities otherwise he easily gets bored and frustrated, he doesn’t have this problem at Zebra tots, he gets to do plenty of activities and even learning letter formation, number and letter recognition now he is four and soon going to be going into full time school. When he first started i really struggled trying to encourage him to potty train, Zebra Tots has been amazing with the help on that journey. My son also didn’t speak much when he first started now he talks in full sentences well enough that anyone would be able to understand him. When my son first started he was a picky eater, and I always had trouble getting him to eat meals as opposed to snacks, since being here that has all changed for the better, he is more willing to try new foods and eat them on his own, the food choices are amazing, always something different and always willing to make what the children like within reason. Not only has it made my son a better person but it’s helped me as well, he doesn’t get so frustrated trying to speak anymore or at meal times. Zebra tots provides great ideas to do at home, and communication is amazing, I often message to see if my new educational buy is a good idea, and often get updates throughout the day he is there with things he is learning or has done as well as a record of everything he has eaten and how he has done with going to the toilet in a book at the end of the day! I couldn’t recommend this settlement enough, I came to live here again from Colchester and wasn’t sure where I should put him, I was very sceptical and wanted the best for him due to him needing the support with talking, eating and toilet training and wanted to make sure he got the best help possible, my family member recommended this settlement and although a bit out of the way for me, I’m so pleased I went here because it’s been the best for my son, he adores it at zebra tots and enjoys going, and as I have said he has progressed so much in the time he has been there. The settlement is very clean, and has been majorly improved since covid, hand sanitising the children before and after going into the settlement as well as spraying their bags.

Just amazing 🤩

My daughter has been attending Zebras Tots since she was 6 years old she is now 10 years old. I used to work in a nursery myself so my standards of care is extremely high, and Zebras Tots meet all my expectations and more, they are very accommodating and extremely helpful.
My daughter loves going there she feels like she is at home which is amazing that she feels that comfortable there. The setting is extremely clean as well and all steps have been taken since COVID such as not letting parents into the garden to pick up children, sanitising the children’s hands on the way in and out of the setting and even spraying their bags when coming in and out, which is amazing because as a parent I feel like my child is safe and I know she is in a clean environment. Since my daughter has been going to Zebras Tots I have learnt so many new cooking ideas as my daughter loves their food and I like that they even let the children have an input about what foods they like to have within reason obviously, but I have known a lot of settings to have their menu and that’s it no room for movement. I couldn’t recommend this setting enough, their communication between parents is just second to non, I remember when my daughter first started I was so nervous but Zehra messaged me when she went to pick my daughter up and got her back to the setting, which made me feel so at ease I didn’t even ask her to but she did and even sent pictures, now I have no worry’s at all she will pop me messages when my daughter has done something funny or something really good and if I ever need to message her she always responds within a reasonable timing. I have recommend friends and family and they also love this setting as much as me and my daughter does.

Professional & Caring

Even though we only been going to Zebrah tots for a short few months, there is no one I would trust more with my child.

Zehra is absolutely wonderful, always keeping everyone updated, very communicative, very professional, but also a warm, lovely and creative person. My baby (16months old) was very happy every time I picked him up, she would send me pictures through the days, keep me updated and asked questions when needed. They engaged in a lot of activities. I loved that my baby could make friend and experience new things.

Thank you so much to Zebra Tots, we will back in the future! xx

Fabulous childminder

My son attended Zebra tots from September 2020 until half term which was brilliant experience and I am glad that Zehra took good care of my son. From first time I met her I felt comfortable and never hesitate to join my son . My son love being there, he felt right at home first meeting and comfortable, treated him like her own son as part of the family . She was supportive anytime need and helpful, I could go to work satisfied that my son was in safe , secure and I can’t forget to mention her delicious food and how much my son love it. Thank you for everything Zehra.

The best childcare

I can not recommend anyone more perfect. The level of care my kids received was amazing! They came home every time singing and dancing and would get so excited for the next time. Zahra is such a lovely, caring lady. She even took the time to help my son with any homework that was set. I’m so sad to be leaving but I will defiantly be back when childcare is needed again

The best childminder anyone could ask for.

My twins attended Zebra tots from January - July 2020 until they were ready for big school. Prior to this they had only ever experienced pre-school so I was a bit nervous about how this would go. But thanks to Zehra’s skills they settled in, and had the best time! I could go to work satisfied with the knowledge that they were in safe, secure childcare and experiencing Zehra’s warm and dedicated care and attention. It was like a home from home for the twins!

On a practical level I have always found Zehra has kept me up to date on everything without any hesitation. She always sent me photos daily without me even asking. She was always really positive about the twins even when there were some minor behavioural challenges and I loved the fact that she was on board and willing to try anything to solve some of the issues whenever I suggested something, as well as using her own initiative and vast experience.

Rather than it being simply a job, I believe that Zehra genuinely deeply cares for the children in her care and is passionate about her job, which is really reassuring when you are leaving your children with someone all day.

Although the twins were with her a relatively short time she really made an impact on our whole family and I know that the kids will remember their time with her fondly.

And just to add - the whole Covid situation took place during this time and Zehra was AMAZING with the way she dealt with it, and when the twins returned to her care I felt fully confident that they were safe and that she took no risks.

Thanks Zehra for everything you do, you are a star and I don’t know where we would be without you!
