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.

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.

I was (still am) an anxious first time Mummy.When we met Natalie to discuss childcare,whilst I was pregnant,she instantly put my mind at rest about childcare arrangements. Our daughter settled in at Natalie's incredibly quickly and is thriving with the support she is given. We're kept up-to-date with how our little one is developing on a daily basis;I love reading the diary at the end of each day. Natalie goes above and beyond-helping our little one making treasured arts and crafts.Leaving my precious daughter with someone else after maternity leave was hard but Natalie has made the process so straight forward.I have 100% faith in her and my little one is so happy in Natalie's care;going back to work has been easier than I imagined because I know my LO is being cared for and stimulated all of the time. Natalie is a true professional and very friendly and approachable.We are delighted our daughter is being so well cared for.We couldn't ask for better provision.

My child absolutely loved coming to Natalie's and it was very useful with the pick ups and drop offs were he loved to go in the mini bus!
Natalie is a lovely woman who always let me know how his day has been and always gave me information if the school had said anything!
I would recommend Natalie to anyone who is looking for a reliable, experienced, caring childminder!
Thank you Natalie!

Eighteen months ago, finding a childminder for my son filled me with dread - but my anxiety immediately subsided when I met Natalie. My son has now been in her care for over a year and I cannot praise her enough. I would highly recommend her and fully endorse her approach to childcare. She has a warm spirit and naturally forms bonds with the children in her care. Natalie's house is very child-friendly and she does her very best to organise interesting and fun things for the children to do so that they are stimulated. In addition, she is very flexible and accommodating; meeting my extra needs due to the demands of my job. My son thoroughly enjoys his time with Natalie, her children and others in her care - I know this because he often complains I pick him up too early! Thank you Natalie for your loveliness and professionalism.

Natalie and Nanny Sheila have been part of our lives for some time now and have been nothing more than amazing with our children. They are 100% reliable and flexible with our ever demanding needs and nothing is too much trouble for them. We rely on Natalie totally as we have no family nearby and our occupations are very demanding. Our children adore Natalie's children and we feel very blessed to have found such amazing ladies who care for our children.
Thank-you Natalie, you are a complete star !!

Natalie provides a safe and happy environment for our son. He is always happy and interacting with the other children when I collect him in the evening.
With our son being an only child, we were a little worried about his social skills. I can happily say that since attending Natalie's, our son has come on in leaps and bounds and is now a social little boy who enjoys others company.
Like with every parent, it is especially important to me that I have total trust in the person caring for him. Natalie always communicates with me exactly how he has spent his day and this gives me great piece of mind.
Natalie is always happy and upbeat and never flustered and has a calmness that is very reassuring. So, I take great responsibility in recommending Natalie to any prospective parent.
