My name is Zoe Atkinson and I am married to Pete and we have four children aged between ten and twenty four. I aim to provide quality childcare in a safe, friendly and stimulating environment and like to work in close partnership with parents so that you and your child feel secure and comfortable.
We live on Harlow Oval which is near the Valley Gardens, Harlow Carr Gardens and close to the town centre.
The whole of my downstairs is registered for childminding and we also have a large garden to play in.
I enjoy going out on trips to nearby places such as Harlow Carr Gardens, Newby Hall and Harewood House.

Good

13 August 2024

An ambitious curriculum and strong emphasis on real-life experiences characterize this childcare setting. Children enjoy secure attachments with the caring provider, who tailors learning opportunities to individual needs. Weekly outings to farms and museums broaden children's knowledge. Mathematical skills are well-supported through daily activities. Independence is fostered by encouraging children to perform tasks like setting the table. While communication skills are generally well-supported, there is room for improvement in consistently expanding children's vocabulary.
