Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Natasha Halpin. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Our 2 year old son has been with Natasha for the last 6 months after being looked after solely by family, and Natasha has made his transition in to childcare so easy and comfortable. He can sometimes struggle with being away from family but he always calms down quickly with encouragement and support from Natasha, who has gone out of her way to personalise our son's handovers and always reassures us that he has settled down shortly after he has arrived.
We receive regular updates on our son's day, there are always fun and interactive activities with an educational theme behind them at Natasha's home, with frequent days out to local parks, farms, Chester Zoo etc.
We have seen a positive improvement in our son's interactions including his vocabulary, social skills, understanding and logical thinking and he comes away every week excited to share his latest developments with us.
Natasha is a credit to our son and we couldn't be happier with her as our son's childminder, she has exceeded our expectations and it's a joy to watch him grow under Natasha's care.
