My Summary
About Me
Hello Mummies & Daddies,
My name is Natalie. I have 2 wonderful children, Ernie, born in February 2014, and Tilly, born April 2018, plus two additional family members, Daisy and Margot our Black Labradors.
I enjoy country walks, horse riding, cooking, (especially baking) crafts, reading, bike rides and swimming.
I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder, and I offer a childminding service from my lovely home-based in Bordon GU35.
I am fully qualified and have all the courses up to date to care for your little/ones.
My Experience
I have 4 years experience of being a private nanny for families around Hampshire and Surrey and 9 years of experience being a childminder.
I absolutely love working with children of all ages, and I take pride in providing a safe, secure, stimulating and fun environment that embraces all children as individuals. I do many educational activities daily, which develop areas of learning in literacy, communication, physical exercise, crawling and walking, pen control, numeracy, art and design, knowledge of the World, personal, social and emotional development.
Below is a list of activities your child may do each day, dependent
on their age:
Messy Play
Painting
Drawing
Collage
Playdough
Cooking
Junk modelling
Dressing up/role play
Music/singing
Sand/water play
Books/stories
Puzzles
Free play with toys
Nature hunts
Exercise activities
Gardening
Number/phonics games
Baby gym/tummy time for babies
I provide weekly emails containing photos so parents can see what I have been doing. For children under 4, I complete online daily diaries for all activities they have done, the food they have eaten, the periods of sleep they have had, nappy changes and any comments I have on their development or something cute they did or said. This is sent out at the end of every day.
My Qualifications
I have an enhanced DBS check, have completed a two day paediatric first aid course with St Johns Ambulance and have attended an Introduction to Childminding course dealing with the Early Years Register, Learning and Development and Safeguarding Children levels 2, 3 and 4. I have completed on-line courses in Food Safety Level 2, Health and Safety Level 2 and the new Allergens Legislation. Understanding Autism, Level 2, Level 5 in Childcare.
I am on my last year of my early years and education degree

Natalie is a fantastic childminder...she became part of our family & we still miss her. My daughter Lilly was very lucky to have Natalie look after her for just over 16 months. Lilly would be full of beans on collecting with all the activities she had done..baking and treasure hunts on walks being her favourite & great for us we regularly had cakes for tea. As a mother leaving my first child I was causious..if not a little guilty but Natalie but all these feelings to bed and I knew she was in the best hands and being stimulated with all the activities. Natalie is very organised and most reliable never letting me down. Oh and a mean cook!
If we hadn't moved then Natalie would still be part of our family. She is super! ?

We were lucky enough to have Natalie work for us for 7 weeks to fill a temporary gap before I gave up work to be with the children. Natalie looked after my two children aged 2 and 5 who loved spending time with her. Natalie showed great initiative and organisation skills in planning activities in advance to keep the children occupied. She is very good at doing things such as baking with them and craft activities. She was also great at preparing meals for the children and always kept the house tidy. My youngest particularly liked playing with Natalie's little boy who came one day out of the three. Natalie looked after the children in our house but on one occasion when my eldest was sick she took my daughter to her own house which was immaculately presented and clean. I would highly recommend Natalie, she is very caring and a great nanny.
