I have two children who are aged 4 and 9 who have been cared for by Zoe for the last two years, After maternity leave I did not want to go back to work because there was no body I would trust more than myself to look after my little girl, having been to various mother and baby groups I saw Zoe there every week with her childminding children and I witnessed how fantastic she was with the children, I saw first hand how caring and loving she was and knew straight away I could trust this lady with my little girl.
When Zoe had a position become available I quickly snapped her up and have never regretted my decision to let my children be in Zoe's care!
My daughter starting going with Zoe when she had only just turned two and still very young and having only ever been with myself I thought she would be very unsettled when I returned to work, but Zoe was fantastic and helped make the transition so much easier both for myself and my daughter - I used to worry so much but she would keep me updated with texts and picture messages which I loved!
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds over the last two years of course all children do, but I have Zoe to thank for a lot of that, Zoe also has an amazing family her husband and children are also so happy and welcoming.
Zoe has always been so understanding, caring, helpful and has never let me down in my hour of need!
My daughter is always coming home with different things she has done at Zoe's, and always talks so fondly of Zoe and her family, my daughter speaks about Zoe every single day saying how much she loves her and she will miss her when she goes to 'big school' for me that speaks volumes!
When my daughters dad went to Afghanistan last year it was a very tough time for her being only 3 she didn't understand and became a little unsettled, Zoe was fantastic helping my daughter write letters to her Daddy and send pictures and just being reassured by someone other than mummy helped my little girl so much.
I can not say anymore about how fantastic Zoe is, personally I wouldn't leave my children in anyone else's care. X
