After experiencing several issue with our previous Childminder we have finally found the Best!! after looking at around 15-20 Childminder’s I wasn’t truly satisfied until I came across Natalie. From the moment we arranged a visit to Natalie’s setting I just knew as soon as i walked in her front door she was the ONE for our little boy. As a mother you just get that feeling inside! Our 2 year old little boy has been with Natalie for just over 4 months and without exaggerating I am left speechless! Firstly My husband is a shift worker and when we explained our childcare needs she was willing to accommodate us straight away, (a lot of Childminder’s want set days and times) also due to shift patterns there are lots of annoying last minute changes/demands but nothing is EVER a problem to natalie, she goes above and beyond to help us to the best she can.

Our little one has always been slightly behind on his speech, however every single day without fail he is saying a new word! Every day that I finish work I am so excited to hear what the new word is! And I have the natalie to thank for that. I wish I had found her setting when I first returned back to work after my MAT leave had come to an end! I am totally amazed at how much he has changed and developed within his short time at Natalie’s. I have such joy reading his daily diary to see what he has been up too, and let's put it this way.. No two days are the same at Natalie’s. He is constantly exploring new things and learning new activities on a day to day basis but most importantly having non stop fun! He has made fantastic friendships with the other children at the setting and I even dropped him off last week and he closed the front door on me whilst shouting ‘bye bye mum' - he couldn’t wait for me to go!! Myself and my partner couldn't give natalie and her family enough credit! It is clear they love and admire all children, and also treat all the children they care for like their own!.. to be honest they are just like one big happy family!!!

we are just so blessed and count our lucky stars that we found natalie just at the right time. If you are looking for childcare and natalie has a space for your little one then grab it with both hands!! Thank you SO much for all your effort, patients and hard work, you really have been an absolute life saver to us as a family and you have really changed our little man for the better!! Xx
