Zoe, home childcare in Gossops green

Zoe was employed as a full time childminder initially for my then 4 year old childminder and later newborn following my return to work. She was responsible for their care, meals and activities throughout the day and also for the older child's logistics for school. Zoe is very competent, caring and trustworthy. Her experience with teaching the Early Years programme brought on the development of both children and helped support what they were learning in school. She always had activities planned and made trips out interesting even if it was just to the post office. Zoe stayed with us for over 4 years which is testament to how much we rated her and how she became very much a part of our family. It would have been longer if the kids hadn't both been going to school! I highly recommend Zoe and know any family would be lucky to have her.

I cannot recommend Zoe more highly. She worked for us for the past year looking after our 2 boys, now 2 and 4. She would take our oldest son to nursery in the mornings and take our younger son to a playgroup or similar before taking them both home for lunch and then nap/ quiet time before a park trip or play date in the afternoon. She is kind and calm with them but also fun and firm. They behave beautifully for her and were always very happy to see her. Our oldest son is always telling me things that Zoe has taught him or funny things she has done to make him laugh. She is good at taking them out and doing fun things but also sensing when they are tired and need to stay home. Without being asked she has helped teach them manners and how to be kind to each other and other friends. Our house is always very clean and tidy when we get home and she makes sure the boys have eaten well. Any family would be very lucky to have her!
