My Experience
I have worked with children for many years before becoming a childminder. I've worked in nurseries, Pre-schools and at a centre for children with learning difficulties. I have also volunteered at the local primary school (St. Marys) and help with reading and school trips. As such I have a broad experience of caring for children of all ages and understanding their different needs. Children grow and develop in a caring and loving home environment. I make sure the children need's are met to the best of my ability. While also encouraging children of all ages learning is fun through lots of different actives and experience. I have taken on board more cleaning of our hands and indoor with toys cleaning after each session.

Zoe is the most wonderful childminder. Both my boys loved going to her. Albie my youngest still goes to her from time to time and he always has the best time. She is so caring, kind and nurturing and the days they had there were so fun. Zoe provides a large variety of activities for them to do and she takes them on great outings and trips to the parks. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a childminder.

Thankyou Ella
Zoe now looks after both my daughters and I couldn’t be happier. Zoe is kind, loving and nurturing. She does so many fun things with them and keeps a helpful diary. The girls love her and so do I.

Thankyou so much
Can’t recommend Zoe highly enough. Zoe looked after our little boy from 8 months and he was so happy...made returning back to work after maternity leave that but easier knowing he was happy. His day was filled and Zoe always updated his book so you’d know what he’d been up to, how he was eating etc. Unfortunately we moved away from the area so didn’t need Zoe any more.

Thankyou , It was a delight to care for him wishing you all well in the future
Zoe is an absolutely fantastic childminder. She looked after our little boy from around a year old and she settled him quickly. He was very happy with ‘Zozo’ and had lovely opportunities to play with and learn from the other children Zoe looks after. Zoe is great at communicating each day how he had been and the sorts of things he had done. Above all, she was so kind and loving towards him which meant I felt happier to leave him. I would highly recommend Zoe.

Thankyou
Zoe looked after my 2 young boys and they were really happy and well looked after. Lots of activities were organised for them which is really good.
I work on a shift rota and had to get my boys up really early and zoe is very understanding and had them really early for me and worked round my rota. Unfortunitely my circumstances changed and therefore didnt need her anymore but i would truly recommend her and if i needed a childminder again zoe would be the person i would go to first if she was available.
