Natalie has been such an incredible support for us, she has been exceptional with our boys and incredibly accommodating. Our children really enjoy spending time with Natalie and she deals with them perfectly. Our eldest can be incredibly difficult to manage but Natalie has built a very strong relationship with him and he knows exactly what is expected of him when he is in her care.
We are confident that when the boys go to Natalie's they are safe, happy and very well looked after - I do not know what we do without her or how we managed before we found her.
Natalie has provided childcare for our young son for over 2 years. We feel extremely lucky to have found her! She is 100% reliable and I am completely at ease leaving our precious little one in her excellent care.
She works extremely hard ensuring that our sons complex needs are met throughout the day. She is always happy and calm and we cannot praise her enough. Our son always comes home happy at the end of the day and always has the most beautiful artwork to share with us.
I am completely in awe of Natalie's dedication to the children in her care and hope that she continues to care for our son for many years to come.
We first met Natalie when we needed after school care for our eldest daughter 8 years ago. We were very happy with her care then and our daughter had a very good relationship with Natalie. Now our eldest daughter is at secondary school but we have recently been lucky to have Natalie looking after our youngest daughter while we are at work. Natalie has been very supportive with my husbands odd working shifts and we have found her to be very organised. I have full trust in Natalie to care for my daughter in a loving, happy family atmosphere. Her home is full of happy children when I drop off in the mornings. She puts my mind at ease and i can go to work knowing my child is safe and happy. We hope Natalie will be able to continue with our childcare until our youngest daughter is at secondary school and I would fully recommend her as a first choice in childcare.
Natalie gives me 100% confidence from the moment i drop my son off in the morning to collecting him after work in the afternoon.My son has been with Natalie for a few years now and she provides a great service not only for the children she cares for but also for the parents too.There is always plenty of activity going on at Natalie`s home for the children and not a shortage of both indoor and outdoor toys,games,play equipment and other facilities too .
Excellent service !!
We have had two sons with Natalie - one now at secondary school had six happy years there. He formed firm friendships with Natalie's two boys and is always keen to return to see them. Very often my younger son complains when we pick him up early. We have been very pleased with the care both boys have received.
My eldest son has been cared for by Natalie for 3.5 years, since he started going to school. We were so pleased with every aspect of her childcare, that we moved our youngest son out of an 'outstanding' rated nursery as soon as Natalie had a daytime place available for him. We did not regret this - our walls are covered in lovely arts & crafts that he made, something he rarely brought home from nursery. In fact, since he started school last September, I miss the creative work he used to bring home.
Natalie cares for both children before and after school, and full-time during the holidays. I don't know what we will do when our eldest starts secondary school - we will certainly miss her.
Natalie is caring, responsible and a pleasure to know. As my son's first teacher once told me - Natalie is the best and all the children want to go home with her!
Natalie has been looking after our three girls for some time now and they are allways eager to go to natalies and always really excited and even ask if they can go at weekends. Would reccomend natalie to anyone and everyone that asks.

Natalie has been an outstanding childminder to my daughter for the last 2 year. Sadly my daughter is now leaving her care as she is starting secondary.
The environment is supperb and allows for both active and quiet times. The other children attending are well behaved and the attitudes to each other are good. My daughter has been happy throughout her time under Natalie's care.
With regards to Natalie I have found her courteous, flexible and professional in her contact with me. I will fully recommend her without hesitation

Natalie has been caring for our daughter Amelie since January when she was 2.5yrs old. Amelie is always looking forward to going to Natalie in the mornings and she's always happy when I collect her in the afternoon.
Natalie has more toys that any nursery and a good sized garden for the kids to play also she has children in her care of similar age to our daughter which was an important factor in us choosing Natalie.
Amelie loves painting and craft and she is always bringing home very cute artwork that they have done during the day.
Natalie is very professional, has endless patience and is always calm, happy and friendly which helps when leaving Amelie off in the morning.
Natalie collects Amelie from me at Bishop Loveday School in the morning whilst I drop my other daughter at school and then Natalie drops her off their as well.
I hope Amelie can continue to stay in Natalie's care until she starts school and even then I hope to keep her with Natalie for after school care.
Natalie provides good homemade food during the day and Amelie never comes home hungry.
I would recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a childminder.
We have had many different forms of childcare over the years and childminders don't come better than Natalie!!
I have 2 children with Natalie and they been in her care for the last 10 months one who attends all day and my oldest before and after school. My youngest who is now 15 months has been with Natalie since she was 5 months old and for any mum you will understand it is hard to return back to work, but knowing Natalie was looking after my children made it easy. She always greets them with a friendly caring smile and is always striving to do fun activities, providing healthy meals and snacks as well as providing a happy stimulating safe and secure environment. I leave them happy and pick them up happy they really enjoy going and i have no worries.
Im really pleased with Natalies exceptional care and know my children love it too.
Thank you Natalie we think your fab!
