Zoe Eggett has looked after my son for two days a week, from April 2015 until November 2015, from the age of 10 months until almost 17 months old. I have been delighted with every aspect of Zoe’s care and I am very happy to recommend her services to future parents.

Zoe offers a safe and stimulating home environment for babies and young children. She organises a balance of structured activities, with time integrated for free play. Activities have included trips to the local baby gym, playgroup and farm, with plenty of time spent outside at the park or in her garden. At her home, my son has spent time painting, playdough making and engaging in various crafts and activities. He has always thoroughly enjoyed his days with Zoe. Her home is always bright and tidy with lots of different toys, books and music on offer.

Zoe organises age appropriate activities and carefully integrates the needs of the children in her care. I have always felt confident about my son’s safety both at her home and out on trips. Zoe keeps parents up to date with photos during the day and regular check ins at the start and end of each day. She also provides a detailed daily diary.

From the age of one, Zoe offers well planned and nutritious meals and snacks. She has been very focused on my son’s development and wellbeing, helping and reporting back on his early speech development, as well as physical milestones such as walking.

The only reason we are sadly ending our contract with Zoe is because we are leaving London. Otherwise, I would have hoped to keep Zoe as our child minder for several years to come, and with our second child.
