When my partner and I first met Natasha we instantly warmed to her and knew that she was the best childminder that we had met to look after our little girl. She came across as so calm and caring. As any mum wants to feel when she returns to work our instincts have been proven right.

Our daughter is always content with Natasha. Tasha's own daughters' treat her like a little sister from the moment we arrive at the door which is so reassuring. They are always off to different places and during the holidays go a little further a field to places such as St Fagans and Castell Coch. Just what any child needs is new experiences to keep them appropriately stimulated in order to aid their learning and development.

We haven't thought ahead to school yet but we are hoping our decision means that Tasha can continue looking after our daughter.
