Ruth N's Reviews

The Absolute Best

5 stars are not enough for Ruth! We couldn’t be happier with the care that she provides for our son. He settled instantly at Ruth’s and has loved every day with her since.
Ruth’s planning is meticulous, from menu planning to weekly and holiday outings - there isn’t a second for a child to be bored! I have zero guilt having to leave him to go to work a few days each week as I know he is having the absolute BEST time with Ruth.
We get daily updates and pictures, which is so lovely to be able to see what they are getting up to, and more days than not our son arrives home with crafts or little thoughtful gifts from Ruth (yesterday he arrived home with a pot of jam he made with Ruth after picking blackberries in her garden). Ruth has 2 grown up sons, so she isn’t caring for her own children at the same time. She has been so flexible and nothing is too much trouble. Our little boy had some delays in walking and Ruth has done everything she can to do the exercises and advice given by physios to get him on his feet quick! Her OFSTED outstanding grades are so deserved (and rare to see) and speak volumes for the effort she puts into providing the best care for our little people. I would recommend without any hesitation - I think she is Superwoman!

Fantastic childminder

Ruth has looked after my little one for a number of years and he loves spending time with her and the other children that she cares for. She is so organised and offers some really good trips and events during the school holidays.

Fantastic childminder

Both my daughters have been with Ruth since age 4 (they are now 11 and 7). We have always been totally satisfied with Ruth’s care and our children love attending her house.

Being at Ruth’s with other children of all ages gives mine exposure to interacting with younger children and has made things like the transition to Junior School much easier as they were already used to playing with older children who went there.

Ruth always has many activities arranged, often themed around events or celebrations, and my children come home with armfuls of craft, puzzles, worksheets, baking etc.

Ruth is always meticulous in preparing appropriate policies and following guidance. Her communication with parents is excellent and we enjoy seeing photos of what our children have been up to.

Ruth is incredibly positive and has so much energy and enthusiasm for her work. We were very lucky to find her!
