Fussy about your childcare? Look no further!

Leaving my little boy when I went back to work was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and I can honestly say that I probably couldn't have done it without the help of Victoria and Gareth at ZooZoo. Theo started at ZooZoo when he had just turned one, last September (2016). He took a little while to settle which was to be expected at his age and Victoria and Gareth were so patient with me and Theo allowing us all the time we both needed to get used to the idea (me more than Theo!). Theo took a shine to Gareth straight away and has always looked to him for reassurance - Gareth is always so upbeat and plays with the children all day long and Theo absolutely adores him!
The children do tons of art and craft which Theo has always enjoyed and he always gets stuck in with the messy play activities. The children are kept busy with all sorts of activities and I am always impressed by the thought and creativity which goes into planning their days.
The children get out and about as often as possible which I Iove to see, they visit play group and the library regularly and explore the local area - feeding the ducks, going to the park and exploring Sankey Valley which is a great area right next door.
Victoria keeps us updated all day long with photos and messages about Theo what is up to, how he is feeling, what he has eaten and how he has slept via a great app and I found this particularly comforting in the first few months and I still love looking at the little photos whenever I get a break at work. Theo's progress and development is also tracked through another web based site which is regularly updated and very informative.
Nothing is too much trouble for Victoria and Gareth when it comes to the children's happiness and care. They are flexible, super friendly and welcoming and consequently all the children are always so happy in their care.
I am thrilled to have found a childcare setting that I am 100% happy (I never thought it would be possible!) and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ZooZoo to anyone looking for five star childcare for their little ones.
