Natalie began having my son Henry when he was 18 months old. She has become like part of the family. Henry absolutely loves it, and has recently started attending every day. He has come on leaps and bounds with his speech, & his confidence. Natalie absolutely spoils him, with trips out and fun and exciting activities. She is our savour, and Henry loves her.

What a nice surprise to read this . Thank you so much for your kind words . Henry is a pleasure to look after he has come on lots since he started he's fitted in lovely with the other children and formed some fabulous friendships .
My son was initially in a nursery setting, which just wasn’t working out for us so we decided to look into childminders. George was so comfortable in Natalie’s home when we went to meet her, that we decided to remove him from nursery and go for it. 2 years on and we can safely say it’s been the best decision we’ve made for our son. He has learned so much, grown and progressed with Natalie in such a lovely way. I feel completely at ease knowing he’s being cared for while having a great time and making friends.
We really appreciate the communication and regular updates from Natalie. There is absolutely no question I would want Natalie to look after our next child too, she feels like an additional part of our family now.

What a lovely review , It's been a pleasure to look after George he's such a character he's made me laugh so much he's such a loving , funny , clever little boy. Can't believe he's off to school already but he's going to absolutely love it and he's so ready . Look forward to looking after Ava and George again when your back to work after maternity .
Thank you both so much for being wonderful parents and trusting me with your pride and joy .
I first started using Nats childcare services back in September 2020. My oldest being Jaxson who started when he was 6 months old and my youngest Carter 1, who started with her in October 2023. Both of my boys absolutely adore Nat and they see her as such a big positive role model in their lives. With myself being a newly single parent I could not imagine mine or my kids lives without her in it, she has helped me so much and has supported both me and my children throughout all of it. I have so much faith in her and trust her 100%.
Highly recommend, she is a star⭐️

Natalie has been taking care of our son since he was 2yrs old and it's been an amazing journey with her. We are very pleased with the milestone he has achieved since he's been in her care. He is now potty trained, added new words to his vocabularies, more social and helps around the house. Natalie keeps us updated daily with lovely pictures, videos and messages of our son and his friends enjoying themselves wherever they go which has made it easy to leave him in her care. She also keeps them engaged in various exciting activities. Our son is always eager to go to Natalie's place every morning. We highly recommend Natalie as she is a very good and fantastic childminder.

My little boy Jaxson has been with Nat since he was 6 months old and is now almost 2. Nat was very reassuring when coming to visit her setting as I was very nervous about going back to work and leaving him for the first time.
Natalie is beyond amazing and I have full faith in her. Jaxson loves coming to the childminders everyday and will always talk about her at home. Jaxson has come on leaps and bounds since being with her and I am beyond amazed at how clever he really is.
Can’t thank her enough for what she has done and what she continues to do.
Thank you Nat!

What a lovely review 😊
Very kind of you and I love caring for Jaxson he is a very clever little boy and is a joy to be around .
My daughter has been with Nat since September 2020 when she was only 11 months old.
I cannot recommend her enough and she really has changed my daughters life with everything she does. From her talking skills, counting to 20, learning the alphabet (all before she turned 2), knows lots of Makaton signs.
Without Nat I would of been lost, I trust her with my life and recommend her to everyone I meet who needs a childminder. When I leave for work early in the morning I know my daughter is safe and loved in an amazing setting where she feels at home.
Nat is amazing at what she does and you won't find anywhere better!!
Thank you Nat xx

I am a single parent who needed to find childcare for my 1 year old. Leaving her was a huge challenge for me but once I met Nat I knew she was the perfect match for my daughter. Nat has been looking after my daughter since early September 2020 and since then my little one has come on leaps and bounds. I love the picture updates at the end of the day, the range of activities offered is amazing, days out, messy play, crafts, singing. My daughter had made some lovely little friends while in Nats care, and loves her dog Ernie and cat Pickles who are both such loving animals.
I trust Nat with my life and seeing how excited my daughter gets when she answers to door says it all. Nat is flexible and understanding, shes not just a childminder to me anymore, she is my friend! Couldn’t recommend her enough xx

Natalie is absolutely amazing. My daughter has been going to Natalie since she was a toddler and she’s now 5. Natalie is fantastic and will do absolutely anything to support you and your child’s needs. I wouldn’t send my child to anyone else. Natalie checks in daily with important information that you need to know, she’s very supportive and a caring person. I always recommend Natalie as she’s just amazing! 😁 xx

My boy has been going to Natalie for over a year now and it's the best choice we made. He was at nursery before but he didn't get the 1 to 1 attention he needed.
Since starting at Natalie's he's more confident, his speech is amazing for his age and he has learned so much.
Both Natalie and her husband are amazing with him and he always comes home happy and content.
