Ruth

Very passionate, good childcare services

Having moved to a new area with my son I have felt confident and content with the care that Ruth has given my child. She is understanding of my son needs and she taken time to get to know him. She is compassionate and my son always leaves talking positively about his experience.

Wow!!! Thank you for the compliment

The best childminder

My 3 and half son attended Ruth since 5 months ago .
As he is SEN child he was nonverbal. Ruth started to work intensively with him. Playing, reading books , going outside, learning new things…now my son is progressing a lot . He is understanding, taking commands, saying few words . Ruth is very professional and sensitive person. She is an educated lady . My son loves her and her daughters. They are a lovely family. I’m peaceful when my son is with Ruth as she is really careful. Definitely the best childminder. Thanks God we met her.

Thanks Ema , for the review and compliments.
Soliel is such a smart and friendly boy . He plays until he’s exhausted, before he needs attention.
It’s just sad 😞 that we didn’t meet earlier before April (summer term) .
And if not that I am going for my masters next school year , I would have continue my work on him.
But still, I am very glad for the progress he achieved within just a term(summer term) he settled here in my setting.
All Glory to God .
And I am proud of him .

He was mute not saying a word at the start. BUT HE’S NOW SAYING ONE WORD

Not giving eye contact.
HE NOW GIVES A LOT

Not listening to commands.
HE LISTENS, UNDERSTANDS AND NOW FOLLOWS INSTRUCTIONS

Not interested in books & learning activities.
HE PLAYS WITH LEARNING ITEMS HIMSELF NOW WITHOUT ADULT LED AND OPEN PAGES OF BOOKS WITH HIS HANDs + little patience to listen to stories before giving up unlike 💯 NO BEFORE

Not socialising. Cries when seeing other kids. HE PLAYS WITH OTHER CHILDREN NOW, HE TOUCHES THEM BUT STILL NEED TO UNDERSTAND GENTLE TOUCHING.

Table manners was very poor. HE SITS ON THE CHAIR TO EAT NOW. Unlike BEFORE RUNNING AROUND WITH HIS FOOD.

Still using dummy. DUMMY STOPPED WITH THE Cooperation OF THE PARENTS

Not understand the implication of danger HE UNDERSTANDS NOW BUT STILL NEEDS TO BE REMINDED, as HE FORGETS SOMETIMES BECAUSE HE IS VERY PLAYFUL.

he cries when outdoors before and when seeing strange faces and crowds.
HE HAS DEVELOPED A HUGE INTEREST IN OUTDOOR PLAYING NOW. STAY IN THE MIDST OF CROWDS AND PLAY On His Own . Not clingy to adults anymore

Parents:
Very nice working with the parents. They made the work easy .
They’re really in love with their child and concerned about his welfare and development.
They were so supportive and cooperates .

I will miss you ‘ Mum and Dad ‘ pickup and drop off .
Also I will miss your loving son . I wish him good luck in his journey.
Thanks

Very reliable

Very friendly, reliable and caring. Would recommend this lady.

Ruth is very nice and caring

I am always happy and confident leaving my kids with Ruth because she is very nice and caring. I have a good relationship with her and we communicate great about my kids. Since I started taking my kids to Ruth, they wouldn't want to go anywhere else but Ruth's childminding. I will definitely recommend Ruth to any parent looking for a nice and caring childminder with a setting that is safe and secure and feels like a home for children.

She is a very good and caring childminder.

My son is one and he loves going to her daycare, she is somebody that you can rely on she is always available. And she knows how to do her job very well. My son can sing most of the Nursery rhymes songs. He can also say few letters of the alphabet which is very good. We cannot thank her enough for the beautiful work she is doing. I will say go for her 100℅ she is lovely.

Wow!!!! Thanks Kumba. Ohene is a brilliant boy. He learns quickly. I’m so proud of him identifying numbers, Alphabets and showing actions with the nursery rhymes as taught at 21months old. 😁

Excellent Work

I have been extremely happy with the care my son has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Ruth's care. Her home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my son has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise, reading and puzzles.
Ruth is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my son's confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home. When my son steps outside his boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which he understands.
All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care my son receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured little boy.
I would absolutely recommend Ruth as a great and reliable childminder.

Wonderful care for special needs

My son is currently under child psychiatry for probable ADHD and learning delay. He exhibits a lot of challenging behaviour. Most childminders flat out refuse to take him or they do one session with him and then refuse to take him back.
Ruth is lovely. She has a great home with lots of activities. She is a mum and her kids play nicely with my son. My son especially enjoys the trampoline. Yesterday I got to her home for pick up and I was half an hour late due to a car accident on the motorway causing a big traffic jam. She could have charged extra but she did not. I feel like I can trust Ruth with my son and this gives me peace of mind when my son is there. I would strongly recommend her.
