Hello My name is Natalie and i live in Elmers end, Beckenham. i am a fully registered childminder. I have been childminding since 2010. I have 2 children of my own a daughter who is 21 and a son who is 18. My children are very welcoming to all children which come in to our home. I have a 16 year old cat called ziggy and a 5 year old dog called sonny whom the children adore. I have worked with children for 25 years since completing my level 3 qualification in childcare and education i have worked in day nurseries, pre school and now in my own home. i plan activities for the eyfs age children based on their needs and interests. We spend a lot of time outdoors in all weathers at local parks, outdoor toddler clubs, take day trips to, farms, nature trails, baby and toddler groups the list is endless. We love to be outside exploring and taking sonny for long walks in parks and woods. I do activities at home and make good use of my garden.I have a separate play room with a huge range of toys for the children to explore. We celebrate occasions such as we celebrated the queens jubilee, making crowns, cakes and a childminder meet up in the park full of games for the children.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Natalie (or Nat Nat as the children like to call her!). Natalie is such a kind, caring, and reliable childminder who has become a very important person in our little boys life.
From the very first day, I knew Natalie would be the person to look after our son as she creates such a warm and nurturing environment.
Natalie is always taking the children out on adventures, whether this be to toddler clubs, parks, library, woods, farms etc.
Each day is filled with creative activities, outdoor play, and thoughtful routines. Our son was always excited to go to Nat Nats to see his friends and to go on a new adventure.
Natalie would always update us throughout the days with photos to show us what they had been up too. This was always lovely and reassuring whilst being at work! It’s clear she genuinely cares for each child as if they were her own.
We’ve seen such positive development in our son’s confidence, social skills, and independence, and we know a big part of that is all thanks to Natalie.
We are so sad that our little boys time has come to an end with not only Nat Nat but her lovely family too (including sonny boy the most loving dog who is adored by all the children!!).
We would 110% recommend Natalie to anyone who is in need of a childminder as she is truly amazing.
Thanks for everything Natalie! x

Quite simply, you will not find a better childminder. Natalie is professional, friendly, warm & most importantly, you can see that she loves what she does.
Everyday she took my son out doing something fun & different e.g. strawberry picking in Summer & more recently. a pumpkin farm! Inside the house there is also lots for the kids to play with.
As a result, my son’s development has really improved since he was under her care & he adores her. No issues settling in & I received updates every day with photos of him smiling having fun. Hygiene and cleanliness are very important to Natalie too.
A rare and important quality is that Natalie is understanding and flexible; she makes every effort to support you as parents as well as your child.
I’d like to take this opportunity to say to Natalie that we will really miss you and I can’t thank you enough for all of your help and support - now it’s my turn to send you updates and photos :) Xx

Our son Leo started at Natalie's just as he turned 1 years old, he couldn't yet walk or speak much so of course and that made it even more difficult for us to leave our baby in someone else's care but the moment I met Natalie I remember how calm and gentle she was. One thing I will always be forever grateful for is that she treated Leo like her own. He has always loved being at Nat Nats and once he was talking he would recall his day and say how much he not only loves Nat Nat but her family too. Natalie always took Leo out and about which he loves up to this day, so many experiences and adventures. Leo's confidence has come on leaps and bounds, he was quite a timid baby but now he is chatty, confident, clever and caring. Natalie has given Leo that stepping stone to go on to be the amazing little boy that he is, I know in the future we will definitely love for natalie to look after our next child.
Thank you Natalie.
