About Me
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 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.

My daughter attended Nat Nat’s childcare setting from the age of 1 untill nearly 4 years old.
Natalie is such a lovely warm and caring person. Who genuinely only wants the best for the children in her care.
She not only the supports the children but also parents too with difficult drop offs she would always reassure me with a picture and message that the tears had quickly stopped and she was happily playing.
Natalie always sent updates of the fun that had been had during the day, aswell as crafts my little one would come home with. She has made some forever friends from attending Natalie's.
I can't recommend Natalie enough, for teaching and adoring my daughter and I'm so sad that this chapter of my little girls life has come to an end.

Natalie is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous to place my daughter with a childminder having never done this with my first daughter, but Natalie put me in such ease and was always transparent. She eased Ayla in from 10 months old and has had her until now, age 3.5! Ayla loves going to Nat Nats house and oh my gosh, she has come such a long way. Natalie helped me with so many mile stones i.e. taking Ayla off the dummy, potty training, food and just helping Ayla become more independent. Ayla enjoyed going on her daily trips and Natalie would always send me pictures of their activities! Im so grateful because now I have such amazing pictures of Ayla to share with her when she's old enough! Natalie has created a warm, nurturing and adventurous environment for all the children and they become such good friends with eachother. I couldn't recommend Natalie enough, we will truly miss her as a family. If ever I have another one, I'll be right back at Nat Nats lol.
Thank you so much Natalie, its been an absolute pleasure. Please keep in touch. Sadia xx

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
