Tanya’s review (parent)

My little boy has attended since being 8 months old and has thrived, developed new skills and made friends through attending Natalie’s we can’t wait for him to begin his pre school education upon turning three. Highly recommend Natalie’s as she and her staff are caring, nurturing, fun and supportive of all of the children, encouraging them to be their own little person and achieve the best they can,, ensuring each child’s holistic needs are met to a very high standard. 😊

The setting is fantastic it makes it even better that it's at Natalie's home because it makes it feel more relaxed for brianna. Since coming to your setting she has come on leaps and bounds the staff are brilliant with brianna and she absolutely loves going every day. There's a fantastic level of communication between the setting and parents and the amount of activities that brianna does is beyond any expectations I had. The staff work hard to ensure that briannas meets all her learning targets and any extra things I have come to the setting about such as briannas eating has been worked on by the staff and hugely improved. Would highly recommend this setting to anybody. Thanks.

There's so many reasons why Natalie's is brilliant, they're passionate, creative, caring, gentle, kind hearted, qualified, skilled and knowledgeable caregivers who collectively provide such a happy healthy environment. For me a huge factor was their Ofsted OUTSTANDING rating, we looked at 6 different settings locally prior to Natalie's none of which came close. My kids love coming and their development has been incredible. The girls are always so friendly and helpful, no question is too silly. They really do go above and beyond for each child to ensure they are given the best start, whatever their needs. There's a reason why there's always a waiting list...

I have known Natalie since the beginning of her career as a Childminder and I am the allocated Link Health Visitor for her setting.

It is a pleasure to work with Natalie and her team and I particularly value the level of communication regarding our families.

By working together we are able to effectively complete integrated reviews for our 2yr old children, focusing on their progress, strengths and needs in order to support their health, well-being, learning and development.

Natalie and her team demonstrate confidence, professionalism and commitment to ensure the safety and well-being of those children in her care.

I want to take the opportunity to thank you for the quality training opportunity you provided our student whilst placed with you in your setting. 
Our student had a challenging home life personal time whilst with you and you nurtured and supported her with this life situation, providing a stable learning environment for her to attend. Our student produced an amazing practical portfolio which she submitted for her level 3 Ncfe Cache Diploma in Childcare and Education. The array of experiences she had included in the portfolio is as a result of the training and development opportunities you provided for her in your provision. Our student could also reflect on her experiences within her written work which allowed her to demonstrate her understanding of the theory and legislations being taught. 
Our student has since gained employment, and this based on the quality and substantial training opportunities you provided for her.
As a training provider Bishop Auckland College seeks quality, reliable vocational placements that will nurture and develop the future early years workforce. You provide such an offer to the young people of the local community. You have been supportive, and an excellent role model of the high expectations required for an early years provider for our student to model her practice upon. 
Again, thank you for your time and continued support of our young people. 

Our facilities are equipped with the latest safety and security systems, so you can be sure that your child is always safe and secure. We also maintain a low staff-to-child ratio, so your child receives the attention and care they deserve.
