Zee
Childminder in Newcastle Upon Tyne
My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted?registered Childminder with an NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Childcare. My extensive experience in early years enables me to provide a personal, high?quality service in a warm and welcoming environment. I live with my husband and my two young adult children.
I am highly organised and plan children’s activities a week in advance, carefully considering their age, developmental stage and individual interests. The setting offers a wide range of resources that support children’s learning and development across the EYFS.
As a working mum, I fully understand the anxieties parents may feel when leaving their young children in someone else’s care. Children in my setting receive individual attention, helping them settle quickly and feel secure. The environment is stimulating and nurturing, encouraging children to explore, develop their understanding of the world, and build strong social and communication skills. This foundation helps prepare them confidently for the important steps ahead as they move on to school.
My Experience
I have ten years of experience working at Waitrose and eight years as a pharmacy dispenser with Boots, where I built a strong foundation in customer care, attention to detail, and delivering high?quality service. I have also worked in a daycare setting, shadowing experienced practitioners and gaining hands?on understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
These varied opportunities have strengthened my ability to recognise and respond to individual needs, while maintaining high standards in a warm, welcoming environment. They have helped me develop both the skills and passion for providing personalised, professional, and reliable support.
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 Coram Pacey

My little boy has been going to Zee’s setting since November 2025 and we couldn't be happier with the care our child has received.
From the very beginning, Zee has been so kind, patient, and genuinely caring, making both us and Isaac feel comfortable and welcome. Isaac settled in much quicker than we expected and adores Zee’s place as much as home.
The setting is well organized, safe, clean and very welcoming. Zee is creative and always looking for new fun ideas to do with the children. Isaac really enjoys the wide range of different activities that Zee offers and it’s great to see how much he has learnt & his confidence grows over the past few months. We always look forward to receiving photos and daily updates and Zee has always been on top of this, she is a great communicator.
I’m very happy with the service Zee provides, knowing my son is safe and fully happy when around her care.

Our boys went to Zee for last 3 years . Lovely environment . Boys felt safe, cared for and enjoyed all activtives. Truly is peace of mind for parents. My boys are different personalities but both boys learnt alot and grew and developed into lovely lads. Only reason we left is it was time for boys to go to nursery . They needed to move to the next level. She provides an Excellent service . Zee truly cares for children. She always communicated openly and honestly. Sickness is unforunately is part of the process escpecially with twins we did have to factor it into our lives. Highly recommend her to any parent.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Zee highly enough as a childminder.
My daughter has just finished with her as she is starting full-time nursery, and I can genuinely say she has had the most positive experience. From day one, she felt settled, safe and happy, which gave me complete peace of mind as a parent.
The care, attention and support she provides is outstanding. My daughter has grown so much in confidence and independence during her time there, and she has learned so many valuable skills that have prepared her perfectly for nursery.
Communication has always been excellent, and it’s clear how much she truly cares about the children she looks after. The environment is warm, welcoming and structured in a way that helps children thrive.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, nurturing and professional, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Thank you for everything — we will always be so grateful 🤍
