Our son was with Natalie from when he was 8 months until he was 2years old when Natalie had to go on maternity leave. He absolutely loved being with Natalie and all the children and in comparison to other children, he was very advanced for his age and still is now in speech,etiquette,behavior in general and this is mostly due to being with Natalie. He fitted in very well with the family atmosphere that Natalie provides, and he loved playing with the other children there. We were very happy with all the trips he went on and groups he attended with Natalie, and we were impressed with how she kept us up to date with his progress in line with Ofsted's criteria for early development. Natalie is A BRILLIANT childminder and would highly recommended her.
