Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Natasha is by far the best childminder I have met, she is knowledgeable within her field and my son has been with her since he was 2.
The progress he has made in this time is outstanding, natasha has supported him to progress in all areas and in particular with his speech, he arrived with limited vocabulary and now astounds me with his progress.
Without hesitation I would recommend her services.
She is creative in her approach to teaching the children different subjects and always ensures she does this at the children's pace and ability.
Natasha is open in her communication to parents and it is like she is a part of my sons immediate circle, he speaks highly of her and her family. Often referring to her and the family in his conversations at home.
This leaves me feeling that my son is extremely happy in his place with and although he is attending a school out her area in September I have asked for him to stay with natasha in the holidays.
Highly recommend her services!

My son has attended this setting since he was 8 months old. I spent time looking at others but from the first visit I knew Learn and Laugh Childcare was the place for us. I was so nervous to leave my son and Natasha made the transition so smooth.
The last three years has been nothing short of amazing for my son, as well as myself. The care, attention and education this setting provides is exemplary. Smaller ratios for me meant he gets 1:1 care alongside building essential relationship building with other children in the setting.
The range of activities, support and experiences have been second to none. My son has had a chance to grow and flourish under Natasha's care and alongside has experienced real-life opportunities that he would just not have the opportunity to do in a nursery/pre-school setting.
I've always been informed of what he's been up to through a great app that provides insight into what he's learning, annual reports and clear direct communication with Natasha throughout.
I could not recommend it highly enough.
