We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childmilder. Ruth wasn't just a childminder to us, she was more like family that my children choose. From the beginning she welcomed my boys with a warm welcoming and nurturing environment. Ruth has looked after both my children and they have loved every minute of it. Ruth has looked after my children over 7 years and I'm so glad she did. We had total peace of mind knowing our children were safe, happy and well cared for. We can't recommend her highly enough. Amazing all round!

Ruth is a fantastic childminder, having looked after my child for the last 3 years it has become a second home for her. She plans wonderful activities for the children and ensures they interact with lots of other children through the use of groups and meeting up with other childminders. I love the fact that they were always out doing something and exploring different places but equally spent time at home with rotations of different activities and toys to play with. My daughter has learnt so much from spending time with Ruth and she really caters activities to get the best out them through their interests. My daughter has created some wonderful friendships in Ruth’s care and she has been pivotal in helping her master some important milestones.
Thank you Ruthy and the girls for opening up your home to my daughter, you’ve all been fab!

Ruth is absolutely amazing with my children. She is gentle, caring and loving. She truly creates a home from home experience. She regularly takes them to toddler groups and days out and they have so much fun with her. Her home is always clean and warm and nothing is too much trouble. Although my children are all in school now they will still be going for ad hoc days as they love her so much!

*Highly recommend * my son started with Ruth at 9months old and he is leaving to start school he will be turning 5 in a few months. Ruth had helped him develop mentally and physically over these years. He has loved every minute. The house is safe and different activities every day. Trips out to groups and days out. I trust Ruth and she is very reliable. Her home became a second home for my son. Very sad to leave but kids grow up and move on and Ruth made sure he was ready for the next stage in his life. If I have any more children then I will definitely want Ruth to look after them.

My son started with Ruth when he was 1 yrs old and has just stopped as he is going to school. As a family we highly recommend Ruth - she has been amazing with my son and taught him so much! He loves/loved Ruth and she was part of our family! I have my youngest starting with her next year and i cant wait for him to make a strong bond/relationship with her and all the other children that will be there!

Ruth looked after our child from 14 months to almost 5 (stopped only as he was starting school). She always kept us up-to-date with his progress, the goals she had set him, activities he had done etc. Ruth provided a safe, happy, nurturing environment for my child so his confidence, language, social skills and development absolutely thrived during his time with her. She has been an integral part of his pre-school development and he has learnt so much from her. He always enjoyed his time there and had so much fun in the wide variety and activities and outings Ruth provided.
I found her very accommodating, flexible and supportive for me as a parent. I couldn’t recommend her enough as an excellent childminder.
