My Summary
About Me
I am a registered childminder and come with a lot of experience in early years. I have worked in a nursery as an early years teacher and also in an outstanding school as a reception teacher. I love kids and chose for a career change to take care of children at home. My training and experience as a teacher gives me great advantage of knowing how to plan activities, see the individual needs of children and be able to help children progress in their developmental stages in a home and friendly environment.
I have a 12yr old son who goes to secondary school and a 4yr old girl who attends a nursery.I am passionate and enjoy different kinds of activities. I provide creative and stimulating activities for children as well as outdoor activities. I like to work according to child's needs and abilities.

It's always hard leaving your child with someone you dont know for the first time but Mrs Z made us feel instantly comfortable and treats our 2 year old son like one of her own. We are so impressed with her attitude towards the children and how much our son has learnt since being with her. He absolutely loves going and asks to go on the days he isn't there. Mrs Z made him feel instantly welcome and comfortable and it's clear to see how much she enjoys being with the children. We get regular detailed updates about his days there and couldn't be happier that we found her.

Mrs Z has been such a blessing me and my daughter. I am a single mum with a 2 year old and the thought of leaving my child with a stranger gave me anxiety but as I had no choice due to working full time I was recommended stepping stones by a friend. My daughter took to Mrs Z instantly and she never goes to anyone so it was a huge weight lifted knowing she was going to be in good hands. Mrs Z treat the kids like her own and gives them love and nurture just like any parent would do. I love that she updates me daily with tasks and activities and eating etc it helps me stay close to my baby even when I’m not with her. My daughter has progressed a lot since she started with stepping stones with her education and her confidence and much more. Thank you for being so good to my baby Mrs Z xx. I would highly recommend anyone to send their child to Stepping Stones.

My child is enjoying time, having activities, learning new things and words at Mrs. Z. It was hard for me at the begging to let my child with a stranger for 9 hours every day but Mrs. Z was always sending pictures and assured me that everything is ok. My child added in his vocabulary more than 5 words in only 3 weeks.
We are so proud of him.
I love that Mrs. Z is doing activities that helps brain development, she definitely knows what she s doing.
We love Mrs. Z and her kids.
I would totally recommend her!
100% my next child is going to Mrs. Z ❤️ she s the best!

So happy I’ve chosen SS Stones to care and educate my 2yr old daughter. I was apprehensive about going back to work full time and leaving my daughter with a stranger however, Mrs Z has made the whole process easy, putting my mind at rest from the moment we met. My daughter has been going to SS Stones for a few months now and the progress I’ve witnessed has been amazing and couldn’t be happier with my choice. My daughter has built confidence being away from mummy along with socialising and interacting with others (born into COVID times) if anyone has second thoughts with choosing SS Stones I couldn’t recommend Mrs Z and her efforts in early learnings and being a teacher previously. I get evening updates each day my daughter attends and sometimes even during the day high I never got with my older daughter. It’s the little things that count and Mrs Z is qualified in every way. Thank you for being the angel in my life and providing me with comfort knowing my daughter is in good hands! Keep up the amazing work you do and never change Mrs Z! Xx

My child has been going to sstones for 2 years and I found Mrs. Z very friendly, and caring by nature. She immediately made a very friendly relationship with my child that helps a lot in settling in days. Due to her kind nature my child was very comfortable staying in sstones everyday. Mrs. Z is a teacher by profession so she made my child learn a lot through different indoor and outdoor activities. The comfortable, hygienic and child friendly environment is another plus of sstones. I have seen very positive change in my child, he takes more interest in activities to learn something new. My overall experience with Mrs. Z is amazing and best decision for my child. Highly recommended child minder!

I was looking for a childminder for my little one. I have visited many but S Stones amazed me by its ability, service, attitude and professionalism. Mrs Ahmed is really kind hearted person who treated my child like her own. I am extremely impressed and totally satisfied by her services. Keep it up!

Mrs Z. has been my son's Childminder for 3 years and I am very pleased with her services, despite the fact that now she has changed the location, she is still able to take my son to the neighboring village to school which I personally think is quite amazing that considering the fact that this very early morning hours. Mrs.Z is a very warm, funny and helpful person. She has a wonderful contact with my son, he just loves her, as well as her older son and her 2-year-old daughter. A big plus is that Mrs. Z. integrates well with children, so I think that whatever child she would take care of, it would feel happy and safe. I highly recommend this person!

I am very pleased to send my child to sstones. Z with her experience very quickly started Helping M in areas where he was struggling. M is seem more confident, expressing himself better, learning something new everyday. He has been showing more self awareness as well as self dependedness. He tries to do most of his jobs by himself rather than asking for help. Great work Z (sstones)!!!!
