Zoe has been childminding my twin boys for nearly 2 years.

I have been extremely happy with the care my sons have received, and the great progress they have made whilst in Zoe's care. Zoe's home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and the boys have great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.

She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know the boys have recently enjoyed sand and water play, drawing and sticking.

Zoe is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining the boy's confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home. When either of the boys are hurt or feeling under the weather I know that they feel happy to be comforted by her.

All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care the twins receive and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping them to develop into confident and self assured little boys.

I would absolutely recommend Zoe as a great and reliable childminder.
