Due to my change in work schedule, my daughter has been cared for by Natalie on a Wednesday from April 2019. This will continue until September 2019. She attends two days weekly with Amanda Strong also.

Natalie communicates with us at drop off and pick up and through WhatsApp and the Little Owls Facebook group. We are kept fully up to date with the weekly plans and Natalie is great with giving detailed feedback on my daughter’s eating, toileting, behaviour and learning. We receive lovely photos via the Facebook group, showing what a wonderful time she has in Natalie’s care.

Natalie communicates with Amanda about my daughter and the care is very consistent. I know this makes her feel secure and happy. We had some issues with crying at drop off for a few weeks, to both Amanda and Natalie. Natalie and Amanda discussed and made some great recommendations, which both put into place. This really helped my daughter feel happy at drop off. No more tears!

Natalie offers children the most wonderful and rich experiences. They have been punting, to the museums, to Wimpole (National Trust) and have regularly been doing their own forest school at Milton Country Park. At every opportunity they are learning; colours, numbers, animals. Social skills are being learnt also, how to behave in museums and houses etc. My daughter’s confidence is soaring as she pond dips and enjoys the water and strokes the animals. Natalie’s own facilities are wonderful and they use her garden for teaching and playing and growing seeds etc.
Natalie is caring and engaging and has a great sense of adventure with the children. Lots of fun is had!

Thank you for the wonderful experiences that you give the children and the care and learning opportunities. I don’t know many children who have the adventures like the Little Owls do!
