My son has been going since he was 2 years old, he likes one to one time or at least time doing planned activities otherwise he easily gets bored and frustrated, he doesn’t have this problem at Zebra tots, he gets to do plenty of activities and even learning letter formation, number and letter recognition now he is four and soon going to be going into full time school. When he first started i really struggled trying to encourage him to potty train, Zebra Tots has been amazing with the help on that journey. My son also didn’t speak much when he first started now he talks in full sentences well enough that anyone would be able to understand him. When my son first started he was a picky eater, and I always had trouble getting him to eat meals as opposed to snacks, since being here that has all changed for the better, he is more willing to try new foods and eat them on his own, the food choices are amazing, always something different and always willing to make what the children like within reason. Not only has it made my son a better person but it’s helped me as well, he doesn’t get so frustrated trying to speak anymore or at meal times. Zebra tots provides great ideas to do at home, and communication is amazing, I often message to see if my new educational buy is a good idea, and often get updates throughout the day he is there with things he is learning or has done as well as a record of everything he has eaten and how he has done with going to the toilet in a book at the end of the day! I couldn’t recommend this settlement enough, I came to live here again from Colchester and wasn’t sure where I should put him, I was very sceptical and wanted the best for him due to him needing the support with talking, eating and toilet training and wanted to make sure he got the best help possible, my family member recommended this settlement and although a bit out of the way for me, I’m so pleased I went here because it’s been the best for my son, he adores it at zebra tots and enjoys going, and as I have said he has progressed so much in the time he has been there. The settlement is very clean, and has been majorly improved since covid, hand sanitising the children before and after going into the settlement as well as spraying their bags.
