About Me

I have loved working with children for over 30 years and I’m passionate that children should learn through play in a fun, caring, environment, with plenty of outdoor space, allowing them to develop as individuals, gaining confidence and independence. I live on a small holding with my husband, 2 children and pets in Upper Clatford.

Good
8 December 2021
The childminder offers a safe and nurturing environment where children thrive and learn effectively. Children feel secure, develop independence, and benefit from well-planned activities supporting their learning, particularly in mathematics. Strong partnerships with parents ensure continuity of care. While safeguarding arrangements are effective, there is room for improvement in communication teaching and maximizing learning opportunities during play.

Amazing!

5 stars

Ruth is amazing with my 15month year old boy!
She always provides me with updates throughout the day, via text and Kinderly!
My sons development has come on leaps and bounds due to the variety of activities she does with him.
He loves outdoors and she is always talking about and out, dogs walks to the park etc.
She also provides great lunches and snacks, homemade and my son joins in with the baking. She is also very considerate of his routine.
At the end of the day I take home Leo's 'home link book' which Ruth writes in how his day was.
I would highly recommend Ruth, she's amazing and my son settled in straight away!
