My Summary
About Me
Hey my name is Natalie and im a fully insured and registered childminder with the Care inspectorate Scotland.
I have four children 3boys and 1girl. I absolutely love my job and helping children reach their full potential is my goal.
I encourage all children in my care to learn through play with a mix of different learning activities. I believe I have created an environment that is safe, calm and engaging.
As an mother I have learnt some very important skills to help me be the best I can be for the children I care for. I have patience. Compassion and understanding.
I offer a routine and as a mum I find this very useful for all the children in my care. Children like routine and structure so will benefit from knowing what to expect on a daily basis.

Ive been childminding now for 3years. I keep up to date with the EYFS framework which i use to create activities that will help the children with their learning.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Childminding Natalie
We’ve had two of our little ones attend Natalie’s childminding services over the years, and on both occasions we have been absolutely delighted with the level of care and attention they received.
The difference in their confidence, speech, and overall development has been incredible — we noticed real, measurable progress thanks to Natalie’s dedication and the nurturing environment she provides. The days are always well-planned, filled with a perfect balance of educational and fun activities tailored to each child’s needs.
The childminding spaces are clean, modern, and safe, creating the ideal setting for children to learn and grow. The difference between our youngest children who attended the childminder and those who didn’t is night and day — a true testament to the impact Natalie’s care and structure have on early development.
We couldn’t recommend Childminding with the Dysons highly enough. Natalie goes above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for the positive influence she’s had on our children’s lives.

As every parent you worry about who will look after your kids when your going back to work. I found childminding with the Dyson. Instantly with reading Natalie's profile I knew she would be the perfect childminder for my son Jock and my 1 year old daughter. I messaged Natalie and instantly replied back to me asking about my childs likes dislikes how she can help my kids learn and grow while under her care always making sure my kids felt happy safe and not upset. The settling in service she overs and also all the questions any parent may worry about or forgets like me when I went for the 1st time 🙈 Natalie made me feel relaxed calms and answers all my questions i had. Natalie offers a warm calm and safe environment for all her childminding kids making them feel at ease when they are with her and the other childminding kids. Every day is filled with such fun and great memories your children can look back on in there lifes. Natalie has lots to offer with her childminding children and plans each day/ week with such passion and love for her childminding kids. Shes done Baking day trips out to farms/ parks and soft play with my kids and other childminding kids she also does alot of indoor activity arts and crafts and lots of learing to help the kids at there age group to grow and come on. She also does lots of out door activity walks bug hunting and so much more 😊 which would be always fun for all the kids. Natalie also helped my little boy crack potty training and also worked with me for having jock come out of his comfort zone with her and the other childminding kids. Its Made jock and Aurora so comfortable and had jock ready for nursery/school which was a hugh bonus cant thank natalie enough. Having my kids with natalie would make every day my two not wanting to come home with me as they would have so much fun with natalie and the other children 🙂 I Highly recommend Natalie she had made such a difference to my two kids and she has alot to offer and such a great childminder to my two kids.

Natalie has watched my wee one since he was 1 year old she has made both us and our wee one feel so welcome in her lovely home. Our wee one feels so comfortable going with Natalie and has the best time ever when with her. He feels so loved and safe while he is with Natalie we could not ask for any better to look after our wee boy. If we could give more than 5 starts we would as she deserves so much more than 5 starts.
