Natalie is without doubt the best choice we could have possibly picked to watch over our daughter. She gives the children so much scope for learning and development and has directly contributed to how bright our little one is.

Natalie gives daily updates on what the children are up to, how the actions they've done that day affect their development and photos to give parents a look at what new experiences their children are enjoying each day.

I can say with 100% certainty that she's one of the greatest childminders and would recommend her to anyone in the area (Or outside the area for that matter!)

Thanks for all your good work Nat and look forward to bringing all of our little ones to you in the future!

Can't recommend Nat enough. I was nervous about leaving my little girl but she give all the children in her care a lovely home environment. My little one is the really thriving and growing more confident with every visit.

I was nervous about returning to work and leaving my daughter. She goes to Twinkles once a week and I can really see her personality and confidence shining through. I can't recommend Nat enough! A very warm and caring atmosphere for the kids and wonderful activites to help them grow and develop as well as have lots of fun and memories. My daughter always comes away happy and the photos Nat provides throughout the day give both myself and my partner a lovely insight and update into our daughter's day.

After increasing hours at work, we needed to find extra childcare for our daughter as her existing nursery could not accommodate her. We went to meet Nat and immediately felt at ease and were very impressed by the level of care and attention she dedicates to the children in her home. An excellent level of interaction and daily activities, exactly as we would devote to our little girl if we were looking after her ourselves at home. Our little girl comes away from sessions with Nat happy and settled and we are provided with regular updates and photographs of what she is getting up to. We had not initially considered a childminder as an option, but after our experience with Nat, we fully intend to remove our daughter from nursery and place her with Nat for all her childcare needs.

My son goes to Nat 2 days a week and he absolutely loves it there he has learnt so much being there, probably more than I would have been able to teach him being home. Every day I drop him off he goes straight into her house and doesn't even say good bye to me just wants to go and play. Nat takes him different places each week and since I've taken my sk there they have done some stuff for charity which I think is truly amazing. Most weeks he comes home with drawings or little creations for me. I know when I go to work that I can relax as my son is enjoying himself there.

My baby boy goes to Nat 2.5 days a week and he loves it there which is such a peace of mind for me. He's never cried with me leaving him and there and barely notices when I come to pick him up as he is having so much fun. It's a big thing leaving your baby with someone else for the first time and I've never thought twice about leaving him with Nat. The daily diary is a great idea, makes us proud to see what he's been up to. Highly recommended.

My son has only been going to Natalie's for a few months and he absolutely loves going there! It's actually a real struggle to take him home again at the end of the day (which is a good sign when it comes to childcare... LOL). He has also really taken to her little boy and they have become great friends in a relatively short space of time.
Natalie provides a lovely, stimulating and fun environment and she shows a real interest in the children in her care. My son has come along a lot in various areas and I'm convinced that Natalie has had an extremely positive influence on his personal development.
She is a very open, approachable, calm, considerate and friendly person and provides a stimulating and varied environment for children of all ages. Highly recommended!

After visiting Natalie at her home we were so impressed that we had made the decision to take my daughter out of nursery before we even left!
She was very welcoming from the moment we walked through the door and more importantly Gracie warmed to her. She had set out toys in the living room and Gracie settled right in!
We were shown round the house and looked at the garden aswell as meeting the rest of the family.
I would 100% recommend a visit... at least!
We can't wait for Gracie to start!

Having met Natalie and visited her home I would highly recommend a face to face visit. Her home is situated in a quiet cul de sac in an accessible location.
A mother of two and a former art teacher it is very apparent throughout the whole setting that Natalie has passion, energy, a keen interest in development her creativity and obvious motherly instinct were all quickly demonstrated.
I found Natalie to be very organised and officiant. A strong communicated which I feel is vital when embarking on this special relationship.
