My Summary
About Me
Natalie's Little Explorers
****GOOD from Ofsted ****
My name is Natalie. I am an Ofsted registered childminder with over 15+ years of child care experience. The children like to call me nat nat.
I live in Leyland with my partner and our children.
We have a black Labrador who is 7 years old and is she friendly and well-behaved around children. I know some children do not like animals and therefore they stay i a different room to the children.
we live in a semi-detached house and have a large ground floor space with a playroom, downstairs bathroom, and a large kitchen. We have a big garden with lots of outdoor equipment, eg, a mud kitchen, sand and water table, and a slide.
The children will have access to a wide range of age-appropriate toys and fun activities relating to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum including role play, dressing up, crafts, puzzles, drawings, Play-doh, reading, singing and dancing.
We are 10 minutes away from Worden Park and local shop's, we have access to the library and the Leisure Centre.
We go on trips to the beach, the zoo, children's play centre and play groups.
I will also provide a healthy and nutritious meal each day for your child along with snacks.

My LO has been going to Natalie for a couple of months now and I couldn't have asked for anyone better, I was nervous about leaving her with a childminder, Natalie sends me updates and photos throughout the day and gives me a daily update record. Natalie is always willing to go that extra mile and my LO absolutely loves going.
I wouldn't choose anyone else to send my LO to. So pleased we found Natalie 😊

I was so so nervous about taking my little girl to a childminders, I went with my mum to meet Natalie and she welcomed us into her home with the warmest of smiles! We knew straight away it was the right place for Evie to learn, play and most importantly be safe and loved... Natalie has gone above and beyond in every category! Evie loves going and I love knowing that she is having the best time, there is always fun activities going on, lovely home made food and lots of learning.
I would happily recommend Natalie to any one, we are so lucky to of found her and we will be for ever grateful!
Thank you for everything you do Natalie! X
