My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered Childminder qualified with NVQ Level 3 Childcare Diploma. I have extensive childcare experience which allows me to offer a personal, high quality service in a warm welcoming environment. I live with my husband and two teenage children.
I am well organised, I plan the children’s activities a week in advance taking into consideration the age group, level & interests. I have a variety of resources which help with the children's learning & development.
As a working mum I fully understand the anxieties that parents have when leaving their young children in the care of others. Children in my setting have individual attention helping them to settle in very quickly. My setting provides a stimulating environment that enables children to develop knowledge about the world around them, as well as, social and communication skills to help prepare for the big school steps ahead of them.
My Experience
I spent 10 years working at Waitrose and 8 years working as a pharmacy dispenser with Boots. I have worked in a Daycare setting where I was able to shadow other practitioners. This experience has helped me to understand & practice the early years foundation stage (EYFS).
These opportunities have helped me to recognise the needs and expectations of customers. I have developed the skills and passion for providing a personal and high quality service in a warm welcoming environment.
My Qualifications
My qualifications include: NVQ Level 3 Childcare diploma, CACHE Level 3 Certificate in Childminding Practice, Paediatric First Aid, Emergency First Aid at work, Child Protection, Safeguarding Children and Designated Safeguarding Lead. I have a Public Liability Insurance with Pacey.

Zee took care of my children for a day. My kids absolutely loved spending time with her, they came back home very happy. I am also very pleased with Zee and her care. I highly recommend her 👍👍👍

Since my little boy has been going to caterpillar daycare he has come on leaps and bounds. His speech has developed really well and he has ticked all the boxes at his review with the health visitor. He is trying to be more independent by dressing himself in the morning and he has started to help me more around the house by tidying up toys and getting food for his older sister. I would highly recommend Zee to anyone.

I can’t recommend Zee enough. My son has been with her since September when starting reception. Zee has went above and beyond accommodating me and my schedule as much as she can which is a massive weight off my mind with the busy and constantly changing timetable I have. Zee’s home is immaculate, has a wide range of toys and a lovely big garden for the kiddies to play in.
Holden’s wants are always taken into consideration, even down to the types of food that Zee feeds him. All of Zee’s family have a great relationship with Holden and I love that Zee treats Holden as her own. My main priority when finding a childminder was finding someone who showed affection and love towards my child and that’s exactly what I have with Zee.
