Natasha Halpin's 5 Star Reviews

A truly caring and nurturing childminder

My son absolutely adores Tasha and is always excited to go to her house. He is consistently happy, settled, and comes home full of stories about his day, which shows how comfortable and secure he feels in her care. Tasha provides a calm, nurturing environment where he is clearly safe, supported, and genuinely loved. She keeps me well informed about his day, activities, and development, and is always approachable and happy to talk through anything, which makes communication very easy and reassuring.

Since starting with Tasha, my son has grown in confidence, independence, and social skills. He really enjoys the activities provided and is supported in a way that suits his age and interests, with encouragement through play, routine, and positive reassurance. Tasha also makes sure the children have lots of enriching experiences, regularly taking them out to parks, play areas, and farms, which he absolutely loves and benefits from so much.

What I value most is the genuine warmth, patience, and care Tasha shows every day. My son isn’t just well looked after – he is truly cared for, understood, and made to feel special. I feel completely confident leaving him in Tasha’s care and I am incredibly grateful for everything she does. I wouldn’t change anything about the care she provides and would wholeheartedly recommend her childminding service to other families.

Fantastic, supportive, nurturing childminder!

Our 2 year old son has been with Natasha for the last 6 months after being looked after solely by family, and Natasha has made his transition in to childcare so easy and comfortable. He can sometimes struggle with being away from family but he always calms down quickly with encouragement and support from Natasha, who has gone out of her way to personalise our son's handovers and always reassures us that he has settled down shortly after he has arrived.

We receive regular updates on our son's day, there are always fun and interactive activities with an educational theme behind them at Natasha's home, with frequent days out to local parks, farms, Chester Zoo etc.

We have seen a positive improvement in our son's interactions including his vocabulary, social skills, understanding and logical thinking and he comes away every week excited to share his latest developments with us.

Natasha is a credit to our son and we couldn't be happier with her as our son's childminder, she has exceeded our expectations and it's a joy to watch him grow under Natasha's care.
