My Summary

My Experience

Before starting Zee Little Stars, I worked for several years in Busy Bees nursery settings, caring for babies and young children.

My previous experience also includes tutoring and babysitting, supporting individual children’s learning and development, planning age-appropriate experiences, observing progress closely. I'm passionate about maintaining safe environments and working closely with the child's parents/carers.

As a childminder with my own little one, I'm excited about bringing all my experience to provide care in a smaller, more personal setting.

My Qualifications

I hold a Level 5 qualification in Early Years and have up-to-date training relevant to providing safe, high-quality childcare.

• Child development from birth to 7 and the EYFS
• Supporting children's wellbeing and resilience
• Speech, language and communication
• SEND and inclusive practice
• Equality, diversity and inclusion

My Fees

• Childminding from £9.00 per hour

My standard fee is £9 per hour, which works out to £81 for the full day.

My usual hours are 8am–5pm, with earlier drop-off or later collection available by prior arrangement. Zee Little Stars operates term time, but remains open during the half-term weeks.
