Natalie has looked after my eldest from when she was 5 months old. And her little sister also thrived in Natalie’s care when she joined our family. Natalie has cared for my girls for the last four years.

The girls loved the safe and stimulating environment Natalie has created in her home. Natalie understands and meets the needs of the individual children in her care- she shares in their delight as new milestones are met and actively encourages children’s own interests.

Natalie helps little ones be ‘school ready’ but more importantly,I think, supports the children in becoming happy,kind,polite, friendly, independent little individuals. (And that comes from a teacher). She supports their growth in emotional intelligence.

Natalie is brilliant at her job and the daily diary keeps you up to date with your LO’s progress and keeps you in the loop with what they’ve been getting up to.

My girls have asked about Natalie (and their friends) everyday since we said goodbye to Natalie - testament to how much my children adore her and that was the peace of mind and reassurance I needed as a working mummy. Happy and content girls= happy busy working mummy.

We will all miss her dreadfully but I am so thankful we found Natalie- the support and care Natalie has given my girls through their early years journey has been exemplary. She’s helped them become awesome little people. Natalie’s the best.
