Quite simply, you will not find a better childminder. Natalie is professional, friendly, warm & most importantly, you can see that she loves what she does.
Everyday she took my son out doing something fun & different e.g. strawberry picking in Summer & more recently. a pumpkin farm! Inside the house there is also lots for the kids to play with.
As a result, my son’s development has really improved since he was under her care & he adores her. No issues settling in & I received updates every day with photos of him smiling having fun. Hygiene and cleanliness are very important to Natalie too.
A rare and important quality is that Natalie is understanding and flexible; she makes every effort to support you as parents as well as your child.
I’d like to take this opportunity to say to Natalie that we will really miss you and I can’t thank you enough for all of your help and support - now it’s my turn to send you updates and photos :) Xx

Our son Leo started at Natalie's just as he turned 1 years old, he couldn't yet walk or speak much so of course and that made it even more difficult for us to leave our baby in someone else's care but the moment I met Natalie I remember how calm and gentle she was. One thing I will always be forever grateful for is that she treated Leo like her own. He has always loved being at Nat Nats and once he was talking he would recall his day and say how much he not only loves Nat Nat but her family too. Natalie always took Leo out and about which he loves up to this day, so many experiences and adventures. Leo's confidence has come on leaps and bounds, he was quite a timid baby but now he is chatty, confident, clever and caring. Natalie has given Leo that stepping stone to go on to be the amazing little boy that he is, I know in the future we will definitely love for natalie to look after our next child.
Thank you Natalie.

I have known Nat from September 2017 when my little boy started going to her for 3 days a week. From the moment she opened her door I knew she will be the childminder I will choose. Her home is so warm and homey and she is so loving and so wonderful. Jasper has been so happy with her and it’s been just easy to go to work knowing that he is in safe and happy hands. She gives you a daily feedback and photos what is great and you know what your child has been up to and for me it was very helpful. Her whole family is amazing. Jasper loves them all and I think he has a special little connection with Lewis who he looks up to as his own big brother. I feel so sad to leave because it has been so wonderful experience and to see how much has Jasper grown and advanced in her care. She is very good giving you advice if you hit the wall after trying everything to make you child’s journey better and easier. I would very, very highly recommend her!

Natalie looked after my daughter from 15 months until she was 4 & my little boy from 1 until almost 2.
Evie had really bad separation anxiety when we first met Natalie & I was so worried about her settling with anyone! Well I shouldn't have worried as on the first meeting Evie was at ease. I always say Evie chose Natalie too! Evie settled very quickly into Natalie's setting which is the home from home environment I was looking for, it's lovely & clean & very welcoming.
Natalie is always taking the children out exposing them to new environments like play groups & farms which they love.
Natalie always sends lots of pictures & updates which is great when you are at work wondering what they are up to!
Natalie has her very own branch if toys r us so there is everything the children could want to play with inside & out.
Natalie hugely helped Evie with her confidence & also supported with lots of first learning like colours & numbers & also taught Evie how the write her name.
Natalie's children are a total pleasure, they are great with the little ones & my two absolutely love them.
It's so hard going back to work but Natalie made it as easy as it can be. I always knew my children were stimulated, happy & safe which is all you can hope for.
Natalie has been a huge support to me & my children & I feel very lucky to have found her. It's only because we moved to a different area that the children had to leave & there were lots of tears!!
Thank you Natalie & your lovely family for everything, we miss you! xx

Natalie looked after my now 4 year old daughter Lola from 14 months until wound 3 1/2 years old.
She has been so lovely and welcomed Lola into her family. Natalie has two really great children who play so nicely with Lola and Lola really thinks the world of the whole family.
The home setting is lovely and clean and there is a dedicated room for play with many toys and learning equipment. There are also lots of great things set up to do in the garden.
Natalie taught Lola how to write her name and helped her with many first steps in learning which was great.
They would always have days out and fun activities as well as more structured learning.
Lastly, Natalie really helped my return to work and put my mind at rest knowing Lola was in great hands. Every day I would received lovely photos of what Lola was doing and it was really great.
Thanks Natalie, would thoroughly recommend !

Natalie has been such a lovely child minder to our daughter Ellie and we will definitely use her again in the future, or recommend her to anyone else looking for some child care.
Natalie always supplies lots of fun toys and activities for the children, even taking them to see the raindeers at Ruxley Manor every Christmas!
I have seen Ellie's confidence and language skills grow so much while she has been with Natalie and I knew every time I dropped her off she would come home with funny stories about her day.
We will all really miss Natalie and her lovely family!!

Natalie is a fantastic childminder. Natalie provides a warm, secure and stimulating environment for all children, She was brilliant with my 2 children, i am so lucky to have found her. I would reccomend her to anyone looking for chilldcare. Both my children loved spending time with natalie and her lovely family and couldnt wait to get there.
She always does fun things with the children including toddler clubs, park trips and even trips further a field like the london aquarium. She also does fun things at home which would include arts and craft, playing in the garden and a huge range of toys.
Natalie wasnt just my childminder she has also become my friend i suffer with anxiety and was very difficult for me to leave my children but she welcomed me in to her home with so much support and i am so grateful to her.
We were all very sad to leave natalie but due to my change in circumstances we had to leave. Even now my 2 ask when they are going back.
