My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered Childminder qualified with NVQ Level 3 Childcare Diploma. I have extensive childcare experience which allows me to offer a personal, high quality service in a warm welcoming environment. I live with my husband and two teenage children.
I am well organised, I plan the children’s activities a week in advance taking into consideration the age group, level & interests. I have a variety of resources which help with the children's learning & development.
As a working mum I fully understand the anxieties that parents have when leaving their young children in the care of others. Children in my setting have individual attention helping them to settle in very quickly. My setting provides a stimulating environment that enables children to develop knowledge about the world around them, as well as, social and communication skills to help prepare for the big school steps ahead of them.
My Experience
I spent 10 years working at Waitrose and 8 years working as a pharmacy dispenser with Boots. I have worked in a Daycare setting where I was able to shadow other practitioners. This experience has helped me to understand & practice the early years foundation stage (EYFS).
These opportunities have helped me to recognise the needs and expectations of customers. I have developed the skills and passion for providing a personal and high quality service in a warm welcoming environment.
My Qualifications
My qualifications include: NVQ Level 3 Childcare diploma, CACHE Level 3 Certificate in Childminding Practice, Paediatric First Aid, Emergency First Aid at work, Child Protection, Safeguarding Children and Designated Safeguarding Lead. I have a Public Liability Insurance with Pacey.

9am - 3pm Monday - Friday. Flexibility available on request outside these normal hours during weekdays as well as on weekends.

We are so incredibly grateful for the love and care Zee has provided for our son. He is always happy and settled when he’s with her,and we feel completely at ease knowing he’s in such capable hands. Zee is consistently attentive to our son’s needs and keeps us well-informed of his day, always sharing his activities and milestones. We appreciate Zee so much, and for accommodating our working days/hours. We couldn’t be without her. 🦋💙

My daughter has been going to Caterpillar Daycare for 8 months now and she absolutely loves it and is thriving!
Zee is so loving and caring towards my daughter I feel so comfortable leaving her in her care.
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since going to Zee, her speech, counting, problem solving all developing so well.
Zee constantly keeps us updated on how my daughter’s day is going and on her progress and activities.
I cannot recommend Zee enough and am so grateful and thankful we found her!
