My Summary
About Me
Hi there everyone, my name is Natalie and I've worked with children for many years, brought up my own child and been a childminder for many years. I provide a caring warm environment for all the children here with many opportunities to explore, learn and play. I love doing crafts and being out in the park and providing learning opportunities about the world around them.
My Experience
I've worked for North Yorkshire Social Services and then a councelling supervisor for childline in Leeds. I have been on many courses and have done lots of volunteeing with families and children. I was self empolyed after having my daughter, painting murals for childrens rooms and schools. I also had crafts stalls at markets and fairs. I then decided to become a childminder and do something i was trained in and enjoyed but still being able to work for myself. I enjoy the company of children and love to see their developement. I provide lots of stimulation through play in doors and out, and provide a safe warm environment for the children. The best thing to do is to always come and visit to judge for yourself whether i would be the right childminder for your child.
My Qualifications
I have many qualifications but the highest is a degree in playwork/therapy, i've also been on many courses relating to children and families. I've done lots of volunteer work including abroad in America and Israel. Ofsted..good.
My Availability
My working hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 8am-6pm but could be negotiated on times. I also do the school run for Talbot school.

We first used Natalie in 2022 with our eldest, who was there for 3.5 years before starting school, and our youngest has now started too. We could not be happier with the well-rounded and caring environment that Natalie creates. Both children love it there, they spend time learning, playing and being inquisitive, developing a love for being outdoors and music. We receive so many brilliant photos and videos of our children enjoying themselves in different settings, and are often amazed as they say or do something new that they have learnt.
Our eldest still wants to make sure that he gets to see Natalie even though he's at school.
