Our daughter was with Zoe for a year from the age of 1 to 2 and we could not have been happier. It was a little further away than we initially wanted but as soon as we walked in, saw the space and met Zoe we decided immediately that this was the place for G. G was so well cared for - you could see Zoe had a lovely bond with her, she ate really healthy home-cooked meals and she was so happy. She settled inn extremely quickly and I loved the fact that they went on interesting outings and did very creative, lovely activities. At Christmas, Zoe went out of her way to give gorgeous little gifts and even gave reindeer food for both G and my older daughter. I also absolutely loved the very thoughtful and beautifully made cards that we received on Father's and Mother's day. Zoe was extremely flexible when I needed to change my hours when I went back to work and I felt very confident leaving G in her care. Zoe is an outstanding childminder; I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

We were recommended to Zoe by our previous childminder who was returning to work & we were so happy to join her friendly, clean (always smelt soooo good walking in!) setting! Zoe settled my daughter in fast & settled my nerves about a crying/ tantruming/ toilet-training child too when needed! 😂
My family faced some challenges toward the end of our time at the setting and I was so grateful for her kind-heartedness and patience & for that especially, she’ll always have a place in our hearts!
So …If you can, get your kids to this setting!

Zoe is amazing, so kind, genuine and caring. Zoe minded our little 15 month old baby girl for a few months before she started nursery and I can honestly say she has been so fantastic. My little girl has built up a genuine bond with her which is so lovely and heartwarming to see. Zoe’s communication is great, she always kept me up to date on everything in real time and I felt at ease from day one. She makes a big effort with themes and decorating to make the environment fun, and on all the day to day activities for the children and always takes them outdoors too! My little girl adores her and we can’t wait to see her soon :) Thank you Zoe <3

Zoe looked after my 2 yo for just over a month while our other CM was on holiday, my little girl settled in really quickly and loved the amazing array of creative activities Zoe provided. It was during a time of really poor weather so home based fun was the main focus and Zoe has a crazy amount of equipment, props, fancy dress, toys and ideas to keep her littles busy and learning. When the weather did get better I was impressed at the outings they did to places like Chessington and Christmas Tree Farm. I will continue to go back to Zoe when needed/possible, she was also super flexible when I need some ad hoc childcare out of our normal hours which I really appreciate. Thanks Zoe :)

Zoe is an incredible practitioner who has invested so much into the lives of the children she cares for. My daughter has grown with Zoe and has learned so much academically, socially and emotionally. Zoe has a clean and engaging environment, fresh home-cooked meals, and a wealth of resources to keep the children she cares for entertained and enthused! As a primary educator, I am more than satisfied with the development my child has made whilst in the care of Zoe and her team. Zoe has provided a family-style environment for my daughter to thrive in and I will always appreciate her professionalism and friendly nature.

We found Zoe and her setting at very short notice. Our son settled in straight away and he loved going every day. Zoe is beyond wonderful. We felt looked after like we were part of her family. She cares for all the children like her own. She tailors activities to children's likes and is thoughtful to children's individual needs. We'll be sad to not have her care for our son anymore but feel lucky to have had her be part of his education journey.

Thank you x
Zoe has looked after our daughter three days a week for the last year. Our daughter was a lockdown baby so had never been cared for by anyone other than us when she started with Zoe at 13 months. Zoe settled her so beautifully over the first couple of weeks - taking her out in the pram when she wouldn't settle in the house, holding her when she wanted to be held and replicating our day and nap routine exactly. She also supported me through the adjustment to childcare. Soon going to Zoe's was like a home from home. It is clear that Zoe genuinely cares for our daughter and goes out of her way. Zoe checks in at the weekend when she isn't well, sends her home with extra portions of things she's liked to go in our freezer and revels in our daughter's development and achievements. My daughter adores Zoe and is always happy to be at her home. Zoe is flexible, accommodating and completely reliable. Her toys and resources are second to none and she is always coming up with fun sensory and educational things for the children to do. I have no hesitation in recommending her to any parent looking for a childminder.

Zoe cared for my daughter from 18 months through to 3 years old. She has been consistent, caring and professional throughout every stage of her development. She is communicative and approachable and her house is lovely and spacious with a fantastic range of activities to engage the kids. She is also amenable and has helped us out on many occasions with extra days and even pick ups after I had my second child and needed some extra help. Sending my daughter to Zoe's has really felt like sending her to a family home not a business. My daughter just started nursery but I asked her if she missed going to Zoe's and she said "yes I miss them and love them they are my best friends" and that's probably the best review possible!

Zoe has looked after my little girl for the past 7 months and has been fantastic. Her home and garden are a beautiful setting for little ones and she provides interesting activities and outings every day. She is caring and sensitive to the needs of the children in her care, and the children eat well and have a lovely time when they are there. As a keyworker I have needed additional support with my other, school-age children during lockdown and she has stepped in to do this with little notice, and always with enthusiasm. All of my children have had the best time under her care. We are sad to be leaving, and are only doing so because all three of my children will be at school in September.

Zoe has been life saving for us!! She provides a very happy and relaxing environment for my little girl, and I have already seen a great improvement in her communication skills.
Zoe is always happy to discuss learning strategies with us and implement them consistently. She provides lots of different activities for the little ones, at home and in playgroups and my little girl is always happy to see her and sad to leave!
Zoe is also extremely organised - I have lost count of the amount of times she had to step in to provide nappies, clothes, and even a pram when ours broke down!!
I recommend Zoe unreservedly - - if you want a happy environment for your little one, look no further. Thanks so much Zoe!!
