Mrs Zoe Pipe
Twice outstanding 2014 and 2020 Outstanding term time childcare. I am a mother of 2 children Zara aged 15 and Zach aged 13 and we live in a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of the local schools. Our mornings are filled with trips to Upton country park, Toddler Groups, National Trust places, The Tank Museum, splashing in streams, beach, childminder meet ups - in fact anything your child is interested in! We go out whatever the weather and throught-out Covid we have rediscovered the natural world for an old fashioned childhood. In the afternoons we like to undertake craft, story time, garden play, cooking, role play or free play with any of the toys within the playroom. I’m very child led so will aim to do what your child enjoys to ensure they grow and learn in a warm and stimulating environment. I like to ensure the parents are involved in every part of their child's day so I take lots of photos. I currently only work school term times.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Local Offer
- Support for children and young people with SEN and disabilities
- I currently have no SEND training but would be willing to learn new skills to aid your child. I''m a very outdoors setting with many trips and all children will be fully included within this and I would ensure it would be aimed at all levels to include everyone. The needs of the children who are new to my provision are identified through discussions with their parents/carers and any other professionals involved with the family - this enables me to identify the starting points in your child’s learning journey. Parents are given photos of your child''s day to see and feel involved with your child''s day. At the end of each term a developmental report is written for you to know how your child is developing and any areas we are working on. I am available for chats at the start and end of day but also via text, telephone or email to discuss the child. I am a small setting as such can offer a personal service to get the best outcomes for you child. Although I currently have no SEND training I would be willing to undertake training to help your child. I''m a very outdoors setting so you child would be including in everything.
