Cannot recommend enough

When my daughter was 1.5 years old, I was looking for someone to look at after her, as I was ready to go back to work full time. I was a first-time mum and felt extremely anxious leaving my daughter with anyone, even family members, so finding a childminder for her was very difficult for me. I had met a couple of childminders butsomething just felt off... Until I met Tasha! From the moment me and my daughter stepped into her house, we felt like we'd known her forever. She was engaging with her and showing her around all whilst talking to me and explaining to me how their day-to-day is. I felt an immediate connection with her and a sense of peace, that my daughter will be well looked after. I genuinely cannot belive how quickly she settled in, as I had heard horror stories of kids crying for months on end, but that was never the case here, as Tasha would send me videos of my daughter laughing 2 minutes after I'd dropped her off. She does various activities with all of the kids, from messy play, getting muddy in the park, painting to doing arts and crafts and special projects around holidays. There's not been a single day where my daughter has come home with a dirty nappy or been upset by someone or something. I also enjoy the two-way communication with Tasha, as she is very open and always tells me if there is anything of concern or if my daughter is doing really well in something. I really cannot thank Tasha enough for the genuine love she has shown my daughter, which is reciprocated of course! We love you so much, Tasha, keep being you! ❤️

Outstanding Childminder

My son has been attending Tashs setting for a number of years now and this was the best childcare decision I made. He attends before and after school and also the school holidays, which he enjoys as he gets taken on days out. He has attend football camps, trampoline parks, wheelgate the list goes on!! Tashs setting is outstanding she has so much for the children to do, inside and outside and she is absolutely amazing with the children I would definitely recommend her without a doubt. She was also so accommodating during covid which eased a lot of pressures.

Ahhhh Sam thank you I really appreciate your feedback, it’s nice to hear it out loud, you’ve made my day, thank you Sam x

My kids love Tasha

Tasha has been collecting my oldest from school for the last 2 years, so it was a no-brainer for her to do the same with our youngest when he started. They stay with her for a couple of hours 3 days a week, and I'd recommend her in a heart beat. She's great with the boys and they love being with her.
She's got great set up with indoor and outdoor areas, plus she takes them to parks and other play centres (Covid permitting).
Five star review all round from me!

Passionate & professional

When I arrived to Natasha’s home, myself and my son immediately felt welcomed into her home. She was enthusiastic and straight away I could feel that she was passionate about her job and wanting the best for the children in her care. Which put to me ease as this was the first time I was leaving my 9 month old in anyone’s care to return back to work. Her facilities are brilliant and to a very high professional standard. I felt her home was safe, clean and well equipped. My son also shared one of his first milestone with Tasha (his first steps ekkk) which I believe she ensured all children are encouraged and supported to progress in her care. Overall my son was very happy in her care and enjoyed his time at her setting. Although my son no longer attends as he’s started his new journey at school, Natasha still remains in contact and asks about my son and has also become a good friend. I would highly recommend Natasha to anyone who is looking for a home to home environment, with a warm hearted childminder who really enjoys what she does.

Thank you that means a lot to me x

Brilliant, professional and caring.

On visiting Tash’s home, I was wowed by her facilities. As an early years teacher myself, I did not expect the very high level of provision Tash provides. Leaving my one year old, for the first time, I was nervous. But Tash completely put my mind at ease. She had a fantastic time and looked happier than she does at home! 😂
Would thoroughly recommend Tash!
