My Summary
Outstanding Childminder
About Me
My name is Natalie Macpherson and I was graded OUTSTANDING at my last inspection in February 2020 for the second time. I live in Dorking close to the main train station. I am married with three children and love being a mother. I have a well equipped playroom with many resources that reach to all seven areas of learning via the Early Years Foundation Stage and a large garden. We go out on various trips such as childminding/toddler groups, parks, libraries, soft play, forest/woodland areas and farms. I plan activities according to interests or celebrations throughout the year. We do lots of arts and crafts, story time, ryhme time, we have fun cooking and explore the outside world incorporating fun and innovative activities. I also help run a Childminder Group called Tuesday Toddles.
