My Summary
About Me
My name is Natalie. I am an OFSTED registered childminder with over 11 years experience. I am a mother of two and live on the Kingstanding/Streetly border (close to Banners Gate) in a quiet and friendly cul-de-sac. I live just a short walk to Sutton Park and enjoy it’s amenities. Children are most welcome in our home and are treated as part of our family. We enjoy books, singing, crafts, baking and games etc. We also go on lots of outings. Each week you can expect your child to enjoy Playgroup’s, soft play, library visits and trips to the park. We also go to museums, cinema, restaurants, farms, zoos and on other fun excursions.
My Experience
I have had the honour of looking after children of all ages and have an excellent relationship with families. Children are nurtured in a safe clean and smoke free environment.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Natalie. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. 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.
We have been with Natalie as our childminder since 2014. She looked after my oldest until he headed off to secondary school and my younger son continues to attend Natalie's for before/ after school and school holidays. The care she has offered over the years has been exceptional. The boys have also been able to experience numerous
day trips and holiday activities with a schedule over school holidays that is always full and varied - they have never been bored with so much going on! Natalie looks after children across a range of ages and this was a great experience for my boys too as it means they have developed interaction skills with both older and younger children. Natalie
has been supportive when we have needed flexibility with days/ times and she always communicates with families in a clear and timely way. We are soon to end our childcare journey with Natalie as secondary school approaches for our youngest and it will be very strange not to have Natalie and the extended childcare 'family' as part
of our daily routine. For families looking to start their childcare journey, I would highly recommend Natalie and the childcare service she provides.

I was recommened to Natalie for our son (4yrs). I needed help with school drop off and pick ups - she was very accommodating to our needs.
We meet to fill in paperwork at her house and our son didn't want to leave - he loved it so much.
Natalie is a very caring and kind person.
She gives detailed handover and keeps me updated with everything going on at the school too.
Natalie promotes independence and is very paitent.

Natalie has looked after our two daughters aged nearly 2 and 4 years since September 2022, including drop off and pick up from New Oscott nursery for morning only sessions, which we really appreciate as it would not otherwise be possible for our oldest to attend the pre school. A fantastic environment is provided for them and they enjoy many varied days out and activities. Natalie is flexible, professional and extremely knowledgeable about caring for small children, and has many times gone above and beyond in looking after them. Their progress is recorded in detail, we receive regular feedback and updates and we know the children get such a lot from their childcare days. We love that the girls get to spend time with each other and they enjoy being with the other children in the small group setting. The quality of baking is also exceptional! We would highly recommend Natalie's childminding service.

Natalie has been amazing, our daughter started going 2 days a week in January and she settled in so quickly and easily! She absolutely loves going to Natalie’s and spending time with Nat and her little friends, in fact she never wants to leave when we pick her up!! Nat is always taking the kids out and about which we love as our daughter is a very big outdoor girl! They also often go to playgroups or out for lunches or do lots of fun activities at Nats home. Nat is always super flexible if we need an extra hour or day. We feel really comfortable and confident that our daughter is in the best hands when we are at work, which is priceless. Would absolutely recommend!

My Son Louis has been going to Natalie since September 2020. I took Louis out of a nursery at the start of lockdown and he became very attached to me, I did worry about how he would cope being away from me, bearing in mind he also had a break from Natalie in the January lockdown I am so pleased with how he has adapted. so much so that he calls Natalie Nanny ( much to her delight as she's the same age as me ) He has made his own friends and fits in really well with the group, they spend a lot of time exploring the great outdoors if the weather is ok and sets out a weekly plan of fun things for them all to do. My Daughter Daisy went to Natalie in the school holidays and she actually sees this as a treat. she absolutely loved it. You can see that she treats all of the children as her own and I have followed her lead in areas where I myself have lacked confidence, She has a lot more experience than I do. I really cant pick a fault with the service she provides. she is professional yet friendly and will help with extra days if she can. she is a great support. I moved to this area not knowing anyone and quite often even when Louis is not in her care I meet her to do the school run so Daisy can see "Louis Friends" .
