We have been sending our 1yr 11mth old son Sam to Nat for a year. He settled in straight away and always comes home happy and cheerful. We love reading about what he's been up to in his daily diary, and the fact that the children get to go on lots of outings and do so many different activities. Sam loves doing crafty activities and this is something that Nat has definitely picked up on and they do a lot of. Nat also tailors their topics to the kids interests, e.g. a week on transport for Sam! With a relatively low number of children in her care Sam gets lots of individual attention, but also gets to play with other kids at the groups and activities they go to, so for us it's the best of both worlds. He also gets on brilliantly with Nat's own children and Harvey the dog! The new playroom is a great asset, and means the kids get their own dedicated space. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nat to prospective parents, we feel very lucky to have found such a dedicated and caring childminder, and I'm sure Sam feels the same!
