About Me
Thank you for enquiring about Nat Nat’s Childminding.
**Recently inspected by Ofsted and given my first grading - *GOOD PROVIDER* :) Please check out my Ofsted inspection report at the bottom of my profile**

My name is Natalie but most children call me "Nat Nat".
I'm 34 years old and live with my husband, son (September 2019) and daughter (April 2024).
We are based in Caterham, on the hill, near Tesco.
My favourite animal is a cow (my husband would probably call it an obsession) and we love visiting farms, the seaside, aquariums and I also enjoy motorsports.
I am Ofsted Registered and have been childminding since August 2021, however I have been a nanny previously for over 15 years, caring for children aged between newborn and 17 years old. I have built some wonderful relationships with the families I have been a part of and I have thoroughly enjoyed being welcomed into parents homes and entrusted with their loved ones.
I love welcoming little explorers into my home.
We live in a 2 bedroom, generously sized flat and although we do have a little garden, which is great for picnics, we like to venture out for bigger adventures.
I HAVE:
• Insurance
• Over 15 years’ experience in childcare
• DBS Check (my husband too)
• Held a [clean] license for over 10 years and I own my own car with business insurance
• References on request and within my profile
• I am Ofsted Registered

Childminder since August 2021.
I became a nanny when I was 18 years old having babysat regularly since I was 13.
I have LOVED and confidently cared for children aged from new-born to 17 years old.

I have experience with helping children walk, talk, eat, potty train, ride a bike and sleep, amongst many many other things, but most of all, I would love and care for your child as if they were my own and offer a home from home environment which is incredibly important to me.

Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
My son has been going to Nat Nats 2 days per week since September 2021 when I had to go back to work full time. He has always had such a fun time with all the activities, outings and crafts that Natalie plans for them and has built wonderful relationships with the other children who attend - especially with Natalie’s own son.
From a mum’s POV, Natalie has always been caring and flexible with honest and open communication which has made me very comfortable leaving my child in her care. I would very happily recommend her services to other parents and children in the area!

Our little one has been at Nat Nat's for over a year now and we will send our second child there next year too. Natalie is warm, caring, thoughtful, creative and loves taking the children on adventures out. She goes the extra mile, has always been honest and open with us, respectful of our wishes, communicates fantastically, and the variety of things they get up to is absolutely wonderful, Natalie is always coming up with new ideas to stimulate them and they spend lots of time outdoors too. We feel our child is cherished and nurtured by Natalie and are so glad to have found her.

We've sent our little one to Nat Nats for the last couple of years and she's really enjoyed it. Natalie is caring and very flexible, making my life as a parent so much easier. They go out on lovely day trips and she's always full of beans once she comes home.
