I offer childcare to only a small number of early years children in my spacious airy home within walking distance of the High Street.This enables me to tailor our day purely around their individual needs without having to be disrupted by several school and nursery runs each day.
I like to offer a balance between home based activities and crafts, play groups, and trips out to places such as the library, zoo, farm, museums, country
parks, forest school sessions, playgrounds, canalside and woodland walks.
Zoe has been our childminder for 4 months for our son who is now just over 1. She’s amazing. It was a minefield trying to work out childcare as a first time mum and Zoe has made everything feel really easy. She’s considerate and caring and our son has settled so quickly. He gets so excited to see her in the mornings! Zoe made adjusting back to work really smooth and is so helpful going often out of her way to be flexible with times and pick up. We highly recommend Zoe!
Our daughter was in Zoe’s care for just over a year. We’d moved to Berkhamsted from London and my partner was just about to begin full time work again, so we researched the area and Zoe offered us exactly what we were looking for - a home environment with other children to interact with for 4 days a week full time. We could see very quickly that our daughter really enjoyed her day at Zoe’s, and whilst there was an initial period of settling in and getting used to not being around her Mum all day, she experienced lots of different activities from drawing and baking to day trips to local farms and parks - what more could a toddler ask for? Our plan was to always move our daughter into nursery at some stage before she started school. Zoe’s care and attention has been great and the enjoyment our daughter had each day was plain to see.
Zoe looked after our daughter 3-4 days a week since she was 11 months old until she was 4 and will continue looking after her during school holidays. Our daughter adores not only Zoe, but her family (including the cats!), as well as the other children. Right from the start we’ve felt confident that Zoe provided a loving home from home atmosphere, where our daughter has always felt comfortable, happy and supported. We’ve been really happy with the wide range of activities Zoe provides, both at home and out and about. Our daughter would always return home excited to tell us about her day, whether it was a quiet one at home, playing and learning with the other children, or an exciting outing. Zoe made sure we felt included by sending us lots of pictures from outings and activities.
We would recommend Zoe wholeheartedly, we have already booked a space for our new baby for when we finish parental leave.
Zoe has been fantastic since our daughter has been going to her from 9 months of age. She treats all the children in her care as if they were her own and they absolutely adore her. Zoe makes sure they are always out and about enjoying different activities that are age appropriate and educational, whilst always keeping us up to date with what they are doing. She knows the value in treating each child individually and takes the time to get to know them during their settling in sessions. We have no doubt that we made the right decision to use her as our childminder.
Our daughter was cared for by Zoe for roughly a year and a half. When we were first looking for childcare we looked at several different places. We knew Zoe was the one when after one visit our daughter didn’t want to leave as she was having so much fun!
This was not the only reason, as during the initial meeting Zoe was gently encouraging of our daughter to be more independent (climb by herself) and to my great surprise she was happy to do this all by herself.
We could not have been more happy with Zoe’s care. Our daughter grew greatly with her confidence, speech and independence during her time at Zoe’s not to mention all the fun activities and trips that they went on, to the farm, circus, park, woods and more which left her excited to go to Zoe’s every day. Our daughter is quite shy so this was a big plus for us.
The only reason we are no longer using Zoe is due to our daughter starting school in Tring which is a shame as the distance would have been unfeasible.
We are so happy and grateful for the time she spent under Zoe’s care and would highly recommend her to anybody.
Zoe is a wonderful childminder. Both my girls have been to Zoe, my first from when she was a year and my second from 8 months. Both attended four days a week. Zoe provides a lovely home from home and made me feel confident that I was leaving the children in safe hands. Zoe successfully got them to eat a wide variety of foods and have long naps and really instilled a good routine so they felt happy and secure. They both loved the variety of activities they did and were always out and about which is what I really wanted for them. They went to playgroups, farms, woods, a variety of parks and a million other activities every day of the week. Zoe was great at encouraging good behavior and if the girls ever scraped their knee or felt poorly I knew that they were happy to be comforted by her.
All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care both of my girls received with Zoe and it was a big wrench when we moved house to move them into pre-school.
Being in such a positive and happy environment helped both of them develop into confident and self assured little girls.
I would absolutely recommend Zoe.
If you have questions feel free to send me a message. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
