My husband and I are both teachers so ‘Outstanding’ is not a term we use lightly. That is the only way we can describe the care that Zoe has provided for our son over the last year. At the very end of the academic year our childcare fell through and having worked in school partnership with Zoe she was our first port of call for advice. Never did we imagine that she would have a space for our son. Zoe’s settling in sessions were fantastic as our son can be very shy, but he took to her straight away. As a teacher I do have very high standards and Zoe has met these and some, providing both care and supporting his academic development. We felt as though Zoe knew our son inside and out and provided fantastically for his interests and ability. Zoe always goes over and above for her minded children and their parents! Whilst my son was in her care I was heavily pregnant and had my second child. Zoe couldn’t have been more helpful, she changed hours, pick up times and places all to make life easier for us! She based a huge amount of their time together on new babies; this was fantastic as it really helped him in accepting his new sister. She has also been extremely supportive during my son’s transition into school. She organised a school visit so he could show her around, it helped his confidence massively and he loved every minute. My son also struggled with a stammer, Zoe has worked alongside us to support him, even offering to take him to a speech and language drop in session. For me there is no better seal of approval than your child coming home saying ‘I can’t wait to go back to Zoe’s tomorrow!’ Zoe’s home and family are so very caring and inviting, I would highly recommend Zoe to anyone needing a loving environment for their child, mine still talks about her every day! :)
