Nat came to do some cover work at my nursery. She worked with children aged 9 months to 4 years old and showed great understanding and care of the children. She quickly picked up on their needs and built relationships with them. She showed experience of caring for early years children, professionalism and great communication with the children.
Overall
I went back to work when my daughter was 6 months old. I went through a number of visits to nurseries and childminders in the area, none, whilst all I'm sure great just didn't feel right. It's fair to say I was anxious and didn't really want to leave her with someone. Then I found Nat. I immediately felt comfortable and assured that I was leaving my little package with someone who would look after her as I would and given she would spend possibly a lot more time with her than I would with my return to work I felt as happy as I could be with my choice. Nine years later, I still feel the same way. Natalie's setting gives a homely, kind but professional environment where my shy girl could socialise with other children but not get forgotten about in a big group. I couldn't have made a better choice. Nat is a wonderful person and childminder and I couldn't recommend her more.

Natalie has looked after my eldest from when she was 5 months old. And her little sister also thrived in Natalie’s care when she joined our family. Natalie has cared for my girls for the last four years.
The girls loved the safe and stimulating environment Natalie has created in her home. Natalie understands and meets the needs of the individual children in her care- she shares in their delight as new milestones are met and actively encourages children’s own interests.
Natalie helps little ones be ‘school ready’ but more importantly,I think, supports the children in becoming happy,kind,polite, friendly, independent little individuals. (And that comes from a teacher). She supports their growth in emotional intelligence.
Natalie is brilliant at her job and the daily diary keeps you up to date with your LO’s progress and keeps you in the loop with what they’ve been getting up to.
My girls have asked about Natalie (and their friends) everyday since we said goodbye to Natalie - testament to how much my children adore her and that was the peace of mind and reassurance I needed as a working mummy. Happy and content girls= happy busy working mummy.
We will all miss her dreadfully but I am so thankful we found Natalie- the support and care Natalie has given my girls through their early years journey has been exemplary. She’s helped them become awesome little people. Natalie’s the best.

We have known Natalie for over 15 years, and she has given exceptional care to our 2 daughters over that time. Her setting is exciting and stimulating and our girls have always loved going to her. Always keen to be going to Natalie’s is a great sign that they are happy in her care. She has made life as a working mum a whole lot easier knowing my children are safe and happy whilst I am at work. We would thoroughly recommend Natalie as an outstanding childminder.

Natalie is indeed a Wonder Woman. She is incredibly efficient and goes the extra mile to ensure that the children in her care feel secure and that their individual needs are met. My son has been with Natalie for just under 2 years and he has thrived in the homely environment that consists of a variety of arts and crafts, learning activities and play. As a single mum it has been the greatest comfort knowing that he is in her care when I need to go to work.
I would highly recommend Natalie to any parent that is nervous about leaving their child for the first time as she is a true gem and all you would ever hope to have in a child care provider.
