What we do
Two things, so far.
Both built from the same idea.
Little ones learn through play, and parents shouldn't have to plan every minute of it. Everything we make starts there.
On your phone
Mini Z and Me, the App
Screen-free play, already planned.
Open it and today's ideas are there, chosen for your child's age and personality, made from what's in the kitchen drawer. Plus a private diary for the first words and the best moments.

Made by someone who teaches it
Every idea has a reason.
Mini Z and Me Group is run by a qualified Early Years educator. Everything we make, on a screen or in a room, is rooted in the EYFS framework that nurseries follow. So the “just playing” is quietly doing the developmental work too. You don't have to think about any of that. It's handled.

first words
“I wanted the thing I kept wishing existed when I was in the classroom, and then at home with my own little one.”
Founder and Early Years educator
Start with whichever suits today.
The App for a rainy afternoon at home. Book Club for getting out and meeting other little ones. Both from the same small team.
