Below are the latest reviews for Natasha. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Our eldest daughter has been with this childminder since she was 11 months old, and still gets collected from preschool and spends afternoons here. She also now looks after our youngest 4 days a week.
We couldn't recommend her more - we chose this over a nursery setting due to the flexibility but actually there are so many other reasons why we are so pleased that we did. The girls get to go out on regular trips to local farms or Kew gardens, and I have been along on some of these trips and know that they are both fun and educational experiences. The girls are really made to feel like part of her family and have also become incredibly close with the other children in this smaller setting. I also found when my daughter started preschool she already had an excellent foundation in for example phonics, from her childminder, which has stood her in excellent stead. Our childminder also initiated potty training in both girls on turning two - making what I hear can be a difficult process go extremely smoothly for us! She also gives us excellent advice on any parenting concerns that we might have, and we feel relaxed and reassured trusting her with the care of our girls.

I have been using Natasha’s services since my daughter was 9 months old. She is now 4. But I kept her with Natasha rather than enrolling her at school nursery. Because I really like the setting, the nurturing and the wide range of activities she does there. Which I know won’t be happening as much in a school setting. Natasha is brilliant, kind and a caring childminder, she is will be my recommendation for any parents who live in Isleworth and require the services of a childminder.

Our daughter has been attending Natashas setting since she turned 9mths , right up until almost 4, as we moved out of area . We have been absolutely delighted with the love and care provided in this wonderful setting. Our daughter had grown in confidence and throughly enjoyed her time with Natasha and family. She was given every opportunity to get involved in different activities, from art, gardening and baking! Natasha always ensures that the children are given a range of outings throughout the year...from Kew gardens to soft play, as well as playgroups. We found Natasha through the covid pandemic , and so she very quickly became an extended family member to us
Healthy balanced meals are also a bonus here! We could not rate Natasha highly enough! It was with a very heavy heart that we had to leave the setting following our move.

Natasha has felt like an extended member of our family since our first daughter was 7 months old in April 2021. She has been an absolute rock for our children who adore her. We trusted her so much that we even put our second daughter in with her for a few hours each week at 3.5 months old.
Our eldest is getting ready for school now so we have had to move on but we highly recommend Natasha to others with young children. She works with the needs of each individual child, she is attentive and loving to each of them in their own ways, she is kind and generous. On a personal note, she was a great support to us as parents during a very touch time in Covid and postpartum. She is an absolute gem. Her setting is a home away from home - her own kids and the lovely little dog all make it a wholesome environment for young kids.
We will all miss her so much!

Natasha is phenomenal. Our son has been with them since he was 6 months old through until now where he's almost 3 and a half. Natasha is clearly so good with the children, our son always comes home chatting about the different activities they do and he'll often come home with works of art 😉 or chatting about playgroups or parks and activities they've been to.
She's supported us through our journey with our first child, right from when I enquired whilst still pregnant, through the early days and most recently potty training. She is always on hand with tips and tricks and he's been incredibly happy with her.

Natasha and Chris have been looking after our daughter since she was 16months old and we have been absolutely delighted with the care she has received with them. They provide a friendly, homely setting with lots of engaging and varied activities for the children including trips to local parks/gardens/playgroups which has really helped with our daughter's development and socialisation.
They have been very supportive and communicative with all aspects of her care including use of reusable nappies and potty training.
Our daughter loves her time there and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Natasha to our friends and family.

Our daughter has attended Natasha's setting since the age of 17months full-time. She has just left to start reception and we couldn't recommend Natasha more highly.
Our daughter has flourished under her care, she settled relatively easily- within a few days and we noticed an immediate and sustained improvement in her happiness levels in comparison to her previous setting (a nursery).
For our needs, we felt the consistency of care offered by Natasha was of utmost importance and this has allowed our daughter to make a secure attachment to her childminder. As parents, this has afforded us great peace of mind and comfort when attending to our work commitments knowing our daughter is in safe, loving hands.
Our daughter has had amazing experiences with Natasha with frequent outdoor excursions and lots of nature exploration both within the setting and on trips outdoors.
The food provided always sounded beautiful and our daughter always ate everything provided.
We were always informed of any issues in a practical way which was appropriate to the immediacy of the situation.
The extra precautions used since the COVID-19 pandemic have really worked well and we always felt secure knowing that all reasonable steps were being taken to reduce any risk of transmission within the setting.
If we had any more children and were again looking for early years childcare, Natasha would be the first person we would contact.

I am really happy to be sharing this review for Natasha. My daughter had been at her setting since the age of one and it has been a wonderful experience to see my daughter grow and flourish with confidence and happiness. She loves spending her time at Natasha's and always had something new to learn everyday. I am really glad I found Natasha as she is extremely understanding and flexible which is great thing to have especially as working parents. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and continuous learning environment for their child. I wish her the very best and success for the future.

Natasha and her family have been amazing to our family. They opened their home & cared for our little girl from around 9mnths till she turned 3. It’s been amazing watching our little girl progress with them. The whole family is lovely, kind and they went above and beyond for us. She supported us during the trying lock down period. This was important to us as key workers. Their home is clean and well looked after, has plenty of toys and space for the little ones. Little ones are taken for outdoors trips too. Home cooked Meals are provided.

My 3-year-old daughter is with Natasha for nearly 2 years. I feel lucky we found her. My daughter runs to her happily every Morning. I feel at ease knowing she is in a loving and safe environment. I find amazing Natasha's patience both with my girl, both with me. She is always flexible, and helpful.

There is no way to describe the trust, professionalism and kindness that Natasha is showing us since day one.
She saw my little one giving the first steps and talking the first words allways with a cheerfull smile.
She have been amazing and we highly recomend to every parent that is looking for a childminder.

We have been using Natasha for a year now to look after my 2 year old during the day and 4 year old before and after school. We made the transition from a local nursery when my eldest went to school and it has made life so much easier. Natasha has been very accommodating with my requests including using reusable nappies and both of the girls have settled in immediately. I get sent regular pictures that show the activities my youngest has been doing during the day and outings they have taken and I'm always amazed at the different art and activities they both do each day. Natasha is always calm and professional when dealing with the children and both of mine behave so much better with her than at home. You can tell she has a genuine love of children and both of my children love going there. I have total confidence that my children are getting the best possible care and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Natasha to anyone.

Natasha has been looking after my 3 year old son for over 2 years now and I have to admit, I cannot imagine anyone better than her! As both myself and my partner work full time, sometimes we get stuck and need an additional childcare, and Natasha is always very happy to help, no matter the day or time. She's very caring, understanding and always gives great advice when needed. All the children always look very happy and I love to see my son enjoying his time at her setting. Much, much appreciated and recommended!

Natasha has been looking after my baby boy since he was 7 months old (now 1 year) and she's been absolutely brilliant. As it is my first child, I didn't know what to expect and was very nervous about leaving him behind. Natasha made the whole experience much easier by being very kind, understanding and professional. With other children around him, my baby is very happy to spend time at Natasha's, and somehow he seems more 'grown up' each time I pick him up. I am pleased that he can take part in all sorts of play groups and activities, as I struggle to find time while working. Both Natasha and myself have seen my boy learn to crawl, walk and now talk, and it's great to know there's someone out there helping me bring my baby boy up in a happy environment. I'd definitely recommend Natasha to anyone, especially new mums.
