Welcome to ZooZoo Childcare – an ‘OFSTED OUTSTANDING’ childminding setting in Haydock, St Helens. The aim of our setting is to provide a welcoming and friendly family home environment with both male and female adult role models, where siblings and friends can play together, care for various pets and go on outings just as they would at home. As parents ourselves we understand the difficult choices parents face when choosing childcare, so we treat all children like our own and welcome them into our ZooZoo family. We have experience of caring professionally for all ages of children from newborn babies up to teenage years.

At ZooZoo Childcare we have now celebrated two ‘OFSTED OUTSTANDING’ judgements as well as being one of the three finalists for the ‘Nursery World Childminder of the Year’ award. We encourage creativity in the children by including music, art and craft in their daily lives. We also nurture a love for animals, nature, gardening and the outdoors by getting the children learning outside whenever we can. Previous staff roles include primary school teacher and deputy nursery manager.
