My Summary
About Me
One full time space from August 2025, 7.30/8am-5.30pm.
One space available from October 2024, for 3 days a week (Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays) 7.30/8am - 5.30pm.
Holiday Care is available Monday to Friday.
I live with my partner of 19 years and our sons who are 7 and 12 and 2 cats.
We live 5 minutes from the A3 with access to the M25, and Clandon train station is a couple of minutes walk away.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Fees are inclusive of food (you are welcome to bring your own if preferred), outings under £3 are also included. We try to do lots of 'free' trips out, which the children enjoy as part of their learning.
We like to visit different places such as Elm Nursery, Richmond Park, Hatchlands Park, Polesden Lacey, soft play, our local toddler groups and Forest school.

Previously , I worked as a Health and Social Care Assessor for Guildford College and a training provider. I have worked in residential and nursing homes looking after the elderly as a senior care worker/ assistant manager.

Excellent care received from Natalie for my daughter from the age of 11 months onwards.
Natalie is kind and provides a happy nurturing environment with appropriate stimulation for my daughter. They regularly go in day trips, to soft play and get out and about locally as well as doing activities around the house such as art and craft.
Natalie is flexible and always does her best to help if I need extra childcare.
My daughter also loves the Forest School that Natalie runs in Ripley.
