About Me

My name is Ramona. I'm married and I have a 14 years old lovely boy.

Me and my husband, Alin, we built our dream, called BAREFOOT KIDS ZONE, a learning centre and childminding services setting. I am a qualified teacher, and Alin is a registered nurse, both recommended by OFSTED.

I also come with a background in Legal environment, which is an excellent foundation for our setting, on top of our qualifications and our passion for working with children.

We provide a home to home experience to the children in our setting. We strongly believe that the best learning experience is through play, that's why almost all our activities are based on CURIOSITY APPROACH and discovering the outdoor world, all based on English curriculum.

Below are some highlights of my experience :

Private tutor: Early years foundation stage, KS1, KS2, ESOL, French Language, learning and homework support

Part of projects with children at local schools and organisations.

Volunteer to QMC Nottingham Children's Hospital

Excellent Childminder

5 stars

My little girl had the best education, understanding, love, empathy and safety. Barefoot Kids Zone was the best choice and I felt like we were like a family together. The love with which she was surrounded helped her from the beginning in the separation from her parents and the transition to the new stage. Thank you Barefoot Kids Zone for everything you have done for our child, we are eternally grateful.
Sofia loves you, Ramo!

My heart is melting right now 💓 Thank you so much for trusting us and for giving us the chance to be part of Sofia's early years. We created memories for life. You are amazing parents and we know that your little girl will grow and blossom surrounded by love and care.

Words don't do justice. Absolutely amazing

5 stars

Our son Alex went to Ramona's setting and he was absolutely in love with the place. The amount of books , toys, materials available here and the dedication Ramona and Alin put into the childminding business is rarely seen. They are genuine people with love of art , culture, values that make this childminding profession a way of life . They are aware that they are shaping future grownups from an early age. Also Ramona does a lot of activities with the children as Alex very often came home with a lot of various results of their activities. Also Ramona cooks from scratch daily healthy meals (no spaghetti hoops on toast in their setting.) So hand on heart I was impressed with their services and Alex was a very happy child in their setting.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for been able to look after our son Lucas. He had truly blossomed while been in your care, started been more communicative and willing to engage with people outside our family.
We consider ourselves quite lucky to have near us a setting that is totally child focused, a childminder that allows the little ones to fully engage and provide them with the opportunity to learn more every time when they attend the setting.
Keep been as great as you currently already are!
