Zuzi is an exceptional childminder. Our daughter (M) started with her at 9 months old as Zuzi offered us the option of settling into her setting over a few months, a few hours a week and this has been so beneficial for our little girl. She also came to visit us at home when we were unsure if she would find it difficult settling, and never hesitated to make it easy for us as a family. This included looking after her for adhoc days and hours when we needed help.

Zuzi supports us with advice and guidance and although M is not yet able to verbalise it, we can see that she has made a secure and loving attachment with Zuzi.

Zuzi has a lovely large kitchen area and takes the children out a lot. She’s very flexible on naps and doesn’t mind if M needs a walk in the fresh air in order to fall asleep. She manages to balance a mix of activity and downtime that fits around each child.

M has been with Zuzi for a few months, and as this is our first child we were anxious to get it right for her before returning to work. We can honestly say, Zuzi is everything we wished to find in another caregiver and more. She is patient, kind, loving and the sort of person you want your little one to grow up around.
