My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Natalie. I am an Ofsted registered childminder and mum to four wonderful grown up children, living in Bexley. My home is warm and welcoming with a large garden for outside play and fun and is within a ten minute walk to Albany Park train station which services, Charing Cross, London Bridge and Canon Street if you need to commute to London.
I offer a happy and safe setting for children to be cared for and to learn and develop through play. I am very lucky to have lots of open spaces available locally to visit with the children, including parks, woods, toddler groups and libraries. I meet regularly with other childminders in the area which encourages the children to form friendships by doing fun activities together, helping them to develop their social and emotional skills ready for starting school.
My Experience
As a mother of four grown up children, I have a wealth of experience and understanding of children's needs across the ages. I have predominantly been a mum at home and whilst my children have been growing up I have been a member of their school PA, as well as helping out at girl guides and Beavers. I have had full Paediatric First Aid training - please see below for more information on qualifications

Natalie looks after my 2 year old daughter four days a week. My daughter absolutely loves her - she is so excited in the mornings to go there and when she comes back home, she has a lot to tell about her day at Natalie’s. I really like the fact that Natalie takes her out during the day for walks in the park and woods as my daughter has become very outdoorsy as a result. She takes my daughter to various play groups and my daughter has also learned a lot with Natalie - including shapes, colours and counting. Our daughter has really flourished in Natalie’s care. We get a detailed daily report at the end of each day and receive beautiful pictures throughout the day which I always look forward to.

Natalie looks after both my girls (3yrs and 1yr) 2 days per week. My youngest squeals with delight every time I drop her off which is testament to how much they absolutely love their time with her. Their days are filled with fun, exciting and educational activities. I love getting the photos and videos of what they are up too across the day. Natalie has got them both eating healthy foods they would never try at home! She was also very accommodating when we needed to do earlier drop offs for a short period of time. We feel super lucky to have found Natalie - she has an amazing rapport with children, with real genuine care and affection. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Natalie has cared for our daughter 2 days a week since she was 8 1/2 months old. Going back to work and leaving our daughter in the care of somebody new was always going to be a difficult experience but Natalie helped to make this a much less stressful time. Our daughter absolutely loves spending her days with Natalie, always smiling when she is dropped off! I am regularly kept up to date with her activities throughout the day, which can include trips to the park to see the ducks, walks and fun activities indoors when the weather isn’t great and receive pictures and videos to make sure I don’t miss a thing whilst at work! At the end of the day I get a full report on everything our daughter has done and achieved throughout the day and also how well she has eaten and slept!
I honestly couldn’t have wished for someone better to care for our daughter. It feels like home from home and I couldn’t recommend Natalie enough!

Natalie has been minding my 9 year old twin boys for 8 months and she is absolutely wonderful with them. She collects from school for me, cooks there dinner as well as them taking to them to the park or activities on wet day. I am informed daily on what they have had for their dinner and what they activities they have done. During school closures Natalie has been able to have the twins for one day a week for me and they have loved being with her for the day. School work has been completed as well as outside time and fun indoor activities such as model building, painting, reading and Lego. I would thoroughly recommend Natalie for any childcare needs that you may have, my children are really enjoying their timer with her.
