My 3 year old has been coming to Natalie for about 6 months, she absolutely loves her days with Natalie and is always trying lots of new things. Her own individual likes and interests are encouraged, a real child centered approach. And her speech has come on leaps and bounds! Thank you so much for everything you do Natalie. Highly recommend 😊

My son started with Natalie just after he turned 1. He's nearly 3 and has absolutely loved every day he has spent with Natalie, her son and all the other children that see her. He has always been so comfortable with her and Natalie has genuine made me feel like my son is part of the family! Natalie has always been friendly and approachable and I feel my little boy has always been very well looked after and any needs and wishes have been met. Truly thankful for my little boys 1st ever home from home and I know he has thrived thanks to Natalie.

Thanks for your review, I can't believe he is as school now x
Natalie has provided childcare for us over the last year doing school pickups, part and full days.
My daughter loves her time with Natalie and her lovely family and asks every day if she is going to play.
We have found Natalie to be experienced, organised, reliable and flexible as well as having a wonderful way with kids that means they trust and feel safe with her.
We would not hesitate to recommend Natalie as a childminder.

My daughter absolutely loved her time with Natalie. Everything from her speech and communication to her counting, letters and colours flourished under Natalie. Natalie’s is warm, very approachable and accommodating. Can’t recommend her enough.

I felt Natalie was very approachable from the first time I met her to look after my daughter. My daughter started with Natalie when she was 7 months old and has always been happy to stay with her whilst i'm at work; which made me feel completely at ease. I feel Natalie gives a home from home feeling when looking after my daughter and I have loved the fact that she gets to experience all the different groups that I would be taking her to, if I didn't work, for no extra cost. Thank you Natalie for looking after my little girl, as if she was your own.:)
