My Summary
A2Zi Childcare
About Me
A2ZI CHILDCARE ALWAYS STRIVING TO GIVE THE BEST FOR YOUR LITTLE ONE AND THE COMMUNITY.
I am friendly and vibrant woman who has a passion for working with children and love sharing in a child’s development; seeing them excel and flourish and knowing that you have influenced and helped them.
I am open minded, flexible and always undertaking relevant training courses to enhance personal development and use the knowledge gained to benefit my setting and the progress of the children.
My Experience
I have been a qualified teaching assistant for seven years and I have excellent experience working with children between 0-11years. Whilst working in schools I have gained a lot of experience working with age groups from age three to eleven.
In my experiences working in schools I have taken part in lots of small group work and as a result I have been able to build relationships with the children and am sensitive to their needs. I have worked well with adult in every school I have been to. I am humble and willing to be corrected when I am wrong. I have excellent communication skills, am flexible and adaptable; I find these characteristics ensure that I am able to work well with both children and adult.
As a teaching assistant I have looked after and worked with many children, including siblings and children with Special Educational Needs.
As a child-minder, I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework.
My aim is to provide high quality, affordable childcare in a relaxed and caring home environment.
I am a big believer in encouraging children to become independent, which builds on their self-esteem and helps their development improve further.
I offer a very flexible service, accommodating earlier mornings and later evenings, school holidays, etc. I am currently opened Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm.

We encourage the children to get plenty of fresh air whatever the weather. We have a well-resourced playroom. play, cooking, arts and crafts, junk modelling, dressing up, stories and rhymes, jigsaws, Construction, cars and trains, super hero and role play

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care A2Zi but specifically Zi has provided for my daughter over the years. From the time she was just 4 years old and starting reception, to now as she stands on the threshold of secondary school, A2Zi has been an unwavering source of support, kindness and love.
My daughter has special needs, and finding someone who could truly understand, nurture, and meet her unique requirements was a challenge I faced with trepidation. A2Zi quickly turned that anxiety into peace and trust. She has been shown nothing but patience and respect, celebrating her strengths and gently supporting her challenges in a way that has helped her flourish.
Zi’s approach is consistently warm, compassionate, and professional. Whether it was helping her navigate social situations, offering her a calming environment, or simply making her feel safe and valued, A2Zi has gone above and beyond. My daughter has grown into a confident and happy young person, and I truly believe that Zi’s love and dedication have played an instrumental role in this.
Over the years, Zi has felt like an extended part of our family, and leaving her care as my daughter begins secondary school is bittersweet. It is rare to find someone so genuinely invested in the well-being of the children they look after. I wholeheartedly recommend A2Zi to any parent seeking exceptional childminding services—she has been a blessing to me and will undoubtedly be the same for others.
Thank you, A2Zi, for everything you’ve done for our family. You have made an extraordinary difference in my daughter’s life, and for that, we will always be grateful.

Nozipho is simply amazing, she has looked after my son for 4 years and has given him the best care that any childcare provider could possibly give. She is immensely attentive to my son's needs and gets me as a parent involved with all his care with her excellent communication skills. She has increased his learning and development through activities and free play in a very safe and friendly environment. My son is always happy to attend A2zi childcare and me as a mother has no doubt in my head throughout the day while at work. A2zi childcare is simply the best and I recommend it to any parent looking for a safe and healthy environment for their little one .

A2zi Childcare is a very warm and welcoming environment, our experience with the settings has been an amazing one, Our mind is always at rest whenever our son is with A2zi Childcare knowing fully well that his needs will be fully met, when we initially brought him to the settings, we taught he would hardly cope but to our greatest surprise, he catches up quickly and before we knew what was going on, he has already adapt to the environment and so much use to the settings, he is always happy and lively whenever I go to pick him up, thumps up to our favourite teachers too at A2zi, I would recommend A2zi again and again.

When you find someone as attentive, warm, passionate as Zi you will understand how important it is to send your child somewhere where they are happy and thriving. Zi’s setting is the perfect balance between fun and educational, i have had no concerns of the care that she provides, her communication skills are great. Zi is always happy and willing to discuss quires and concerns. This setting is the definition of a home away from home. If you are looking for someone who will care for your child as her own i highly recommend Zi, you will not be disappointed. My son has been going to Zi’s since 2022 and it is the best decision i have ever made.

A2Zi Childcare was recommended to us by a friend and our little one has enjoyed an amazing pre-school journey. Zi is professional, caring, patient and fun. The children love her, the setting is perfect and the variety of activities, meals and early education provided is spot on.

Our little girl will be turning 3 soon and she has been attending this setting since she was 1. As a lockdown baby, it was really important that our LG felt comfortable, secure and loved and I can wholeheartedly say that this has been the case. Zi cares about all her little people and she is firm, fair and loving providing them with rich and diverse activities that help them to develop and grow along the EYES and beyond. Also, a quick note to add that all A2Zi staff have been amazing, they are so authentic, welcoming and warm and have a genuine heart and love for the kids. Both I and LG pick up on energy and we couldn't have asked for more, we are very happy we found this setting and can't recommend it enough.

My son has been going to Zi since April 2022, since then his communication and independence has developed so much. Zi is patient, loving, caring and has a passion for children. Her communication is amazing, she goes above and beyond to make parents feel comfortable and reassured. Give Zi a try and you will never regret it !!

When you are a mother you want the best for your child, in my case I looked for several nurseries, and I did not feel more comfortable and calm until I found Zi and her team. I am tremendously grateful for all the affection and dedication they had with my baby, the patience, the love and all the learning that he experienced day by day (with the chicks, the frogs, the plants), because apart from everything conventional, Zi and her team do everything possible for your child to experience the workings of nature. The best of all is that you are informed at all times, about your baby's development, food, activities, so you don't miss a single detail of what he does, it is wonderful to see how your child enjoys every day singing, playing and learning. They are like a big family.
Thank you Zi, Gillian and Natasha for all the love and care you gave my son.
Lots of love,
Ethan and Eli xx

My 2.5 years old daughter is attending A2zi childcare since October. Zi, Gillian and Natasha are amazing. They plan various activities for children and help them grow. The team go out of their way to make sure children are learning in a fun environment. They cover various aspects of education, environment, culture, etc. My daughter has shown tremendous improvement in her vocabulary, math and social skills. As a working mom, I am glad that my daughter is excited to go there every morning. The team provides a safe environment and takes care of meal preferences or any special needs. It always amazes me how enthusiastic the team is, when we go for picking up my daughter. They provide clear updates on my daughter's day.
