About Me
I offer DAYCARE and OVERNIGHT care.
Hello,
I have many years of extensive experience of working with children and have worked as a Teacher for 6 years. I am an Ofsted registered childcare provider who has a passion for taking care of children and helping them progress and become the best that they can be.
I have been working with children since I was 18 and I have been a Nursery and Year 1 teacher. I have also had experience of working in a baby room during my NVQ 2 training and have first-hand experience of looking after my own son.
I understand how precious your child is and I will do my utmost to keep them safe and happy.
I will provide the children with stimulating activities and follow parents wishes in terms of routine etc. My home has a welcoming feel, I have a spacious indoor and outside area and a huge range of exciting toys. I share the children's experiences and achievements via an online journal called Tapestry and also face to face.
I love interacting with children and helping them develop. I can create a good rapport quickly and believe in listening to children and in using positive behavioural techniques. I have a DBS check and can present qualifications upon request. Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you soon.

I can't recommend Natalie enough. My son has joined Natalie's setting when he was only 6 month old and has been with her ever since, now for 2 whole years. Despite being a pandemic baby, he settled in incredibly well and Natalie was very accommodating in his transition. Natalie and her team are always warm and welcoming, and it is lovely to see the joy on my son's face when I drop him off every morning.
He gets a lot of stimulation with a range of activities that he loves, like painting, play dough, reading, playing with q variety of toys and outdoor play when weather allows. Natalie always has actives adapted to all seasons and the children, as well as parents, always look so happy at the end of the day.
I know my son could not be in better hands.

Our little daughter has been with Natalie since she was one year old until now that she's three and had just started pre-school.
We couldn't have find a better childminder for Alma.
Natalie is caring, professional, kind and reliable. I was a bit worry at the beginning as my daughter was a pandemic baby and didn't socialised much during that time, but Natalie's kindness and calm approach helped Alma to settle really well.
It's easy to see that she genuinely cares about the little ones assessing their individual needs, and helping them develop their full potential.
She's also been very supportive with us and flexible with time and days when possible.
My daughter really enjoyed every day, with Natalie and her lovely team, doing all the activities: games, painting, dancing, singing, playing with different toys.
She's definitely one of the best childminders in Cambridge.

Last year in July we moved from India to Cambridge. Somewhere around December, we started looking for ChildMinder near our house in Cherry Hinton, and to be honest we were very lucky to get a place at Natalie.
Our Son took very little time to settle down. Natalie made sure that every day was a new learning experience for him.
She is very caring, loving, welcoming to Kids. You will always see happy faces KIDS at her place. If anyone is looking for the best ChildMinder then Natalie is surely the one you should go for.
Thank you very much Natalie for taking care of our Son.

Natalie has just started looking after my 6 month old and I can’t give her enough praise. She is patient, kind, and caring. James hasn’t been socialised very well because of lockdown so he gets upset easily around new people and unfamiliar environments but Natalie has the expertise to know how to make sure he is comfortable and well cared for through slow introductions and patient interactions. I truly look forward to seeing James develop over the upcoming months with Natalie and her team.

Natalie and her team of childcare assistants did a great job with settling in and looking after our 1 year old daughter for a year. They are very organised and ensure that they get to know each child really well and meat their individual needs. Natalie was very reliable and was also flexible when possible, when we needed extra days or hours. She has a great set up and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a small childcare setting.
