About Me

My name is Zena, a qualified and Ofsted-registered childminder based in Lewisham, near Matalan. I hold a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies and have extensive experience working in private nurseries and as a self-employed childminder.
I am a hard working business minded childminder.

I passed my latest Ofsted inspection in April 2025 and am passionate about creating a nurturing, stimulating environment for children. I offer a variety of engaging indoor and outdoor activities, including storytelling, arts and crafts, music, cooking, and simple science experiments.

Fluent in both English and French, I incorporate both languages into my setting to support early language development.

My Experience

With over 16 years of experience in early years education, I have worked extensively with children from a wide range of cultural and developmental backgrounds. Most recently, I held the position of Deputy Manager in a nursery setting, where I was responsible for both operational management and direct care within the rooms. I have significant experience supporting children with autism and special educational needs, and have worked with age groups ranging from 5 months to 12 years.

My Qualifications

I have a BA (hons) in Early Childhood Studies and level 3 BTEC in Health and Social Care.
Trainings:
Safeguarding: Child Protection level 3
Paediatric Frist Aid
Food and Hygiene level 2
Level 1: Foundations in phonics
DBS

My Availability

My standard working hours are Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. However, I offer flexibility to accommodate your specific needs and can provide weekend care upon request.

I am grateful for receiving a lovely and honest comment from you and having your daughter at Eden Lights Day Care. All the best in the new nursery she will be attending this year. Thanks again for entrusting me to look after your outgoing and loving daughter for 2 years. I and the children in my childminding home will greatly missed her absence. Kaiha over the years of knowing you as my customer, my experience with you has been filled with honesty, understanding, effective communication and great support in working to achieve the learning and development of your daughter. I am very confident to say M will settle at her new nursery and continue to meet her learning and development milestones.
Thanks again for your support and all the best !

Wonderful childminder!

5 stars

Zena is absolutely wonderful. She takes care of my daughter before school and always makes sure she is dropped off on time. My daughter loves going to her home and feels so happy and comfortable there. She is reliable, caring, and by far the best childminder we’ve had. I would definitely recommend her to any family!!

Thank you for your honesty and your understanding throughout this year .I wish you all the best in your new career path. Your daughter will be greatly missed by my childminding family and my neighbour's children who often interacted with her at the playground. Your recommendation to parents at Our Lady of Grace school will be greatly valued. Many thanks once again.

I apologise for replying a year later Felisha. Thanks very much for giving me the opportunity to provide my services to you and trusting me with your two gentle boys who have been just incredible and loving. You have been a great supporter and motivator when my business was quiet and slowly picking up. The boys became part of my family and cared for their friends at my childminding home as their were their cousins and me their auntie but K will sometime call me mum during school pick up. Your boys have been a role model and a brother to my daughter. Thank you for the memories the boys have left behind to all the children and myself. These memories will remain active and engraved in our heart. All the best in your career progression and strength to continue raising great young leaders.
