Long Preston Childmi's Reviews

Would recommend Natalie for babysitting duties

Natalie babysat for our two boys on Saturday night so that myself and my husband could attend my sisters night do, it was a great idea. Natalie turned up when she said she would took our 2 boys into one of the guests rooms to look after them in there, we felt very comfortable with her looking after them. Our boys are 6 years old and 8 weeks old, she had them all evening we then collected them when we were ready. Thank you as it meant we could enjoy the evening child free and knew they were being well looked after. Would definitely recommend Natalie. Thanks

Thank you natalie!

We booked natalie to look after 3 children under the age of 2 at our parents wedding in burnsall. She arrived on time both nights and we immediately felt extremely comfortable. Natalie is lovely with a very calming nature.
One of the children struggled to sleep and natalie was brilliant - Oliver definitely took to her and was happy to play and sit on her knee for cuddles
So a huge thanks natalie - you allowed us to feel comfortable that the children were settled and in very good hands.
We would highly recommend natalie - she's fab!!

Thankyou Amanda for such a nice review. It was a pleasure looking after such wonderful children.

great childminder

Natalie looked after my son while he was in pre school and did after school care for my daughter. They were both very settled there and looked forward to going.
Natalie takes the children on outings and does a range of activities with them. My children always talked happily about what they had been doing.
I would recommend Natalie to anybody.

I highly recommend Natalie

As a teacher myself I knew exactly what I was looking for in terms of childcare for Chloe when I returned to work when she was 9 months old. Natalie was fantastic with her throughout and Chloe gained some excellent experiences and had great fun times with Natalie. She was totally professional and develops an excellent relationship with the children she cares for. I was always happy knowing Natalie was looking after my little girl. She is very well trained and I am happy to recommend Natalie to anyone. If you would wish to contact me for a reference I would be more than willing and Natalie can feel free to pass my contact number to you on request. I wish her and her family all the best and only regret them moving house or she would still be caring for my little girl.

Highly Recommended Childminder

Natalie is an absolutely fantastic childminder and very highly recommended. I have used Natalie ever since she opened as a childminder and always found her to provide the highest standard of care possible.
My children have all enjoyed going and have felt very safe and happy.

Natalie provides brilliant care.

My daughter went to natalie aged 6 for before/after school care and also during the holidays,she loved to go and regularly chose to attend even if someone could collect her.natalie provides a warm,safe and homely environment for the children to be in whilst doing lots of activities with them.they regularly go out for walks and on trips to places..my daughter especially enjoyed being allowed to do craft work and painting,nothing is off limits with natalie and it's brilliant for kids to have such freedom of expression.since natalie has gone on maternity leave she has been sorely missed.i would recommend natalie to anyone who needed childcare.

Childminder review

Natalie is a fantastic childminder. I first met her when she worked at a Montessori nursery when my daughter was little. Since Natalie became self-employed I have used her for support in the school holidays. My daughter Freya is now 9 and loves going to Natalie's. She fels like she's going to a lovely Aunt's house. Natalie provides a safe and welcoming home and always has stimulating educational activities available. I also really like the fact that she will take the children out for fresh air walks regularly. When I drop my daughter off with Natalie I always feel that she is safe, secure and happy.

Natalie: Highly recommended

Our son was with Natalie from when he was 8 months until he was 2years old when Natalie had to go on maternity leave. He absolutely loved being with Natalie and all the children and in comparison to other children, he was very advanced for his age and still is now in speech,etiquette,behavior in general and this is mostly due to being with Natalie. He fitted in very well with the family atmosphere that Natalie provides, and he loved playing with the other children there. We were very happy with all the trips he went on and groups he attended with Natalie, and we were impressed with how she kept us up to date with his progress in line with Ofsted's criteria for early development. Natalie is A BRILLIANT childminder and would highly recommended her.
