About Me

** Flexible Ofsted Registered Childminder **

Weekend or ad hoc cover available subject to space.

Offering regular hours and SCHOOL HOLIDAY sessions - Subject to spaces.

Hello parents/carers.

I began my childcare journey 18 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 can also provide short-term cover to assist parents (subject to spaces)**

**I am approved to offer 9 month 2, 3 and 4 year-old funding as well as tax-free childcare**

Any questions feel free to ask.

Amazing!!!!!

5 stars

I contacted Zoe very last minute about looking after my 3 year old Jaime-George. I was traveling to the uk and needed childcare for 2 weeks. Zoe was extremely accommodating and managed to find space. I was very nervous to leave JG with someone I did not know but Zoe was incredible at calming my nerves and kept in contact all day everyday. JG looked forward to going every morning and every day was filled with amazing activities. Singing and music classes and lots of out door activities. I have had the best experience as well as my daughter and am extremely grateful we found someone so amazing. Could not recommend Zoe enough!

I always aim to work closely with all parents, and I really enjoy providing fun and stimulating activities for the children in my care.

Zoe is like family

5 stars

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.

The best!

5 stars

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

Zoe is amazing!

5 stars

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 😀

BEST CHILDMINDER!

5 stars

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!

Flexible, reliable and lovely :)

5 stars

I feel so lucky to have found Zoe! She was an absolute life saver when I became a working single mum with no childcare options! So flexible and supportive Zoe goes above and beyond to always make me feel comfortable leaving my young children and keeps me updated during my shift which is so appreciated. Both my 1 year old boy and 4 year old girl are always excited to go to Zoe's lovely house and they settled in happily very quickly. Zoe helped by following my children's routines and care as much as possible and I am forever grateful :)

Zoe is best the best!!!

5 stars

I found Zoe when we were in a desperate situation and we urgently need to find a replacement to take care of our little girl Daria. She was very friendly and open and welcomed us on Saturday and Monday we started going to her .Daria was very happy and to our surprise without tears....which made us happy and gave us confidence that our little girl is well taken care of. It's been a few months since then and during all this time Daria is different child. She does a lot of activities, always goes out with children to the park, playgroup,Farm.. etc... She is very welcoming and always willing to help.She is amazin for us!!

Wonderful childminder

5 stars

Zoe looked after our 2 year old for a few months whilst we waited for a nursery spot to become available. Zoe was wonderful, Florence had such a great time with her, and her children. She was always smiling when we dropped her off and picked her up, and she would tell us how she went to the park/ out to play groups etc. We were sad to leave Zoe as she was so smiley, fun and friendly.
