My Summary
About Me
** Flexible Ofsted Registered Childminder **
Offering regular hours and SCHOOL HOLIDAY sessions - Subject to spaces.
Hello parents/carers.
I began my childcare journey 16 years ago by volunteering in a local nursery, I have worked in various primary and secondary schools, as well as holiday clubs.
I am a mother and childcare provider with relevant experience and qualifications.
I have a love for exploring, being outdoors, and creating fun, engaging, and memorable activities.
If you choose me for your childcare journey I will keep you up to date with your child's day with photos of our adventures. I like to work closely with parents and have open communication.
I like the freedom of childminding it means I have the flexibility to take your child to the park, beach, soft play, and trampolining (toddler sessions), occasionally I will take the children over 2 on short pony rides as well as local farms. All great enrichment opportunities for the children.
I currently attend weekly termly Spanish lessons with Lingotots.
**I can also provide short-term cover to assist parents (subject to spaces)**
**I am approved to offer 2/3 and 4-year-old funding as well as tax-free childcare**
Any questions feel free to ask.

I always aim to work closely with all parents, and I really enjoy providing fun and stimulating activities for the children in my care.
We were new to the UK, and Zoe really helped us in the initial days of adjustment, with work , child care and even guided us in finding a school for our daughter. Our daughter is always happy when she is with Zoe, and we are very grateful to Zoe for all her help. I would recommend Zoe to any one looking for child care.

As well as being a Childminder if I can ever help any parents out, as a parent myself, I aim to signpost and help people as much as I can.
My 2 year old son has been with Zoe 3 days a week for just over 6 months.
He absolutely loves the time he spends with Zoe, he walks into her house like it’s a home from home, has grown his independence & his personality has shon through.
Zoe takes him to lots of different play groups, parks & activities & meets lots of other children.
He has recently started to try and sing songs he has learnt at playgroups & doing the actions.
Zoe keeps us up to date with what they’ve been up to & has offered lots of support regarding his development.
We’re very grateful to have found you Zoe! x

My son started with Zoe when he was about 9 months old, being my first child I was nervous but Zoe was very reassuring and kept me updated all day about what he was doing and how he was, my son is now 1 and has learnt so much and loves going to hers. She takes him out everyday he is there and always comes home happy. Zoe WhatsApp’s me everyday with pictures and updates of what he’s been up to. She is the best childminder in Leigh/ southend.

Lana,
Thank you I am glad you feel happy with the childcare provided. I aim to treat each child individually and have a personal relationship with the parents/carers I work with 😀
Zoe
My daughter loves going here, has been here since start of January. Zoe made my daughter feel very welcome, to the point where my child don't want to come home in the evenings. She goes on many days out, learns lots, and has the best time. Couldn't ask for a better childminder!
