Natalie has been regularly looking after my three daughters for the past 2+ years. Prior to this, my girls had been looked after by family and I was unsure about leaving them with someone new. My initial enquiry for one day of childcare a week for my pre-schoolers soon turned into three days a week - with before and after school care for my eldest added in too - as the children settled with real ease. Natalie and her family have always made my children feel so welcome, their home environment is warm and inviting, and my girls enjoy time spent there. They have such a range of experiences in Natalie’s care - indoor and outdoor, fun and educational - and activities are always well thought out, with consideration given to the individual needs of the children.
Natalie is so very easy to work with; she is approachable, extremely competent, professional and reliable, and she has patience in abundance. I my experience, Natalie has always been willing to work collaboratively with parents to support the children and aid their development, in a consistent manner. My girls are happy and well-engaged in her care, and I can go to work and focus on my job without having to worry about them. I highly recommend Natalie as a childminder - we are very grateful to have her in our lives!
