‘Mummy is it Thursday today? Is it a Zoe day? This is why Thursdays are the easiest morning in our house! My eldest has been with Zoe now for 2.5 years and now since September my youngest joined the Monkey Moo gang and gets so excited when it’s a ‘Zoe Day’.
There are so many words to describe Zoe – calm, patient, fun loving, absolutely full of enthusiasm and as for her house and gardens…the perfect setting for any child. Zoe packs so much fun into their time, from trips to the park, beach, local museum…to making tree houses, Harry Potter wands, puppet gloves (and both my children were never keen on art at nursery or school!). Zoe is home from home. She provides a safe, clean environment…with all the fun!
Zoe’s extended pet family have been fantastic for my two. My eldest used to be very wary of dogs until he started at Zoe’s. He’d go to the park with her and ‘train’ Dexter. Now he is confident and respectful around dogs. In fact both my boys have learnt so much about animals since being with Zoe…about butterflies, stick insects, bunnies…its been really educational for them.
We have found Zoe to be extremely reliable, not once in 2.5 years of childminding has she been off ill or let us down. It means so much to us as parents…knowing that at the end of a school day, when some of their friends are off home, that they are excited to be going to Zoe’s.
In our household, Zoe is Mary Poppins… she is in fact…magic!’
Mr DP &CP's mum
'I love Zoe days because we make cool things like wands, she's got lots of animals, she cooks yummy food and she takes us to the beach.'
Mr DP (age 7)
'I’m very pleased we found such an amazing childminder. I know Phoebe is being very well looked after and she always has so much fun at Zoe's after school, bringing home lots of lovely arts and crafts. I couldn't recommend more highly. No suggestions for improvement. Just don't ever move!'
Miss PH's mum
‘I really enjoy coming here as Zoe is really fun and she and the other people that come here do loads of amazing things. She even takes time off to look after us on inset days! It’s a very comfortable place and we have lots of company because of all the animals. Zoe provides us with healthy dinners every day. For me it’s like having a 2nd family as I come here 5 days a week!’
Miss BW (age 10)
‘Zoe has made sure that my daughter is happy, settled and stimulated in her after school and holiday care at Monkey Moo. Zoe organises fun and varied activities, doing far more than I'd have the energy or time for after school including playing, baking, crafts, feeding the chickens, visiting the beach. I can often hear the laughter coming from the house as I arrive at pick up time and my daughter always has a story to tell on the way home about what she's been up to with Zoe.’
Miss BW's mum
‘I love coming to yours, we get to do lots of exciting things!’
Mr LJ (age 3)
'Our son is very happy to come to you each morning and loves you, your home and animals. The care you're providing is perfect for him - he thrives on imaginative interactive company and activities. I couldn't ask for a better way for him to spend his holidays, and am confident that blending the larger nursery classroom with your setting is ideal for his social skills and confidence.'
Mr LJ's mum
‘Monkey Moo’s is so much fun!
On top of all the great things we’ve done!
Not to mention all the activities’
Knowing all of them off by heart is really hard.
Except cooking, games, walks with Dex, chilling, the pool, arts and crafts, going to the beach or special trips.
You know that when it’s time to go we don’t want to.
Meanwhile we always think.
Only a few hours and we’ll be back again!
Obviously this is the best place to be looked after.’

‘I enjoy going home with Zoë after school and doing fun craft and activities, also seeing her pets and going into her homely house. Zoë makes things fun so everybody can join in & play her games.’
Mr THB (age 8)
‘Zoe provides a welcoming, friendly and homely environment for the children. There are lots of activities for the children to do and lots of interesting areas for children to play in and around the house. The outside areas are fun and it is made even more special by the animals that live in and outside the house. There is plenty of thought into providing a variety of activities for the children so they do not get bored.’
Mr THB’s mum
‘I can highly recommend Monkey Moo for child care. Zoe is an amazing lady, with such inspiration. From the first day we met her, we felt safe knowing that our child would be safely looked after. She is full of enthusiasm , with fresh ideas of things to do for the children, even the wonderful lunches that she makes them, are fun! We are very, very happy with Zoe.'
Mr HB’s mum
'Zoe has great patience and imagination which she uses to great effect when caring for children who are naturally drawn to her. She is very creative and enjoys engaging children in a range of activities from arts and crafts to cooking and nature walks. She has the ability to see the world through the eyes of a child whilst taking the utmost care for their wellbeing.'
