Ruzi has been looking after my son for over 4 years. As a first time mum, it was difficult to leave my 11-month old baby with a person I didn't know, but I gradually built a trusting relationship with Ruzi. She is very experienced, patient and caring and builds very strong bonds with the children. She provides a wide range of activities (e.g. playing outdoors, singing sessions at local children centres, sand playing, cooking) which support children's physical and emotional development. Ruzi is really passionate about her role and has often gone above and beyond for us. I am very grateful for all the love and support she's given to us and I really recommend her as a great childminder.

When I first met Ruzi - I knew I didn’t need to look further.
She is a fantastic childminder. Taking care of children is definitely her calling.
Ruzi were looking after my 2.5 year old son and even though he had some development delay - his skills and understanding improved a lot with her help!
Ruzi plans a lot of exiting activities for children and also takes them to children centre for group activities - dancing, singing and arts.
Ruzi’s place is the best I’ve seen - very nice and clean, with big variety of toys and it also has a good size garden for outdoor activities.
I highly recommend Ruzi!

Ruzi is a Godsend. It was my first time leaving my daughter with a childminder and I was very nervous but Ruzi was so wonderful that now my daughter loves going to her. Ruzi was very patient with my daughter during her settling which took a very long time. She is very warm and friendly and gentle and always smiling. Her family are great too. They treat the children like their own family members. Im so thankful for finding Ruzi as i cant find anyone who is as caring and wonderful as her. My daughter is very happy with them and always look forward to going to their place.

When I was desperately looking for a childminder who can meet my requirements for my son,I found Ruzi in this group.My son was only 18 months when he started with Ruzi.She is very hard working and patient.My son took 4 weeks to settle there but she never gave her hope.I was very concern about my son's settling as I couldn't give enough time to her to settle my son.Now after 1 and half year my son has to leave Ruzi as he started Nursery.But we will always be very grateful to her how she manage our son.
As a full time working mother I know how hard to leave you children with some one you know only for few hours/days.I have never felt that I didn't know Ruzi before!She is so friendly and sensible person.
I will definitely recommend her as a childminder.

I found Ruzi on the Childcare.co.uk website in 2014. I was a nervous first time mum & had to return to work when my baby, May, was 4 months old. I was so impressed by Ruzi from the word go. She was so reassuring, caring and supportive. May has been cared by Ruzi for 3 years now and we couldnt be happier. May's development has been fantastic during her time with Ruzi and although May will go to nursery/preschool now, she will still come to Ruzi after school & holidays.

Absolutely lovely lady, experienced and my daughter loved her.
My child was 3 going on 4, my 1st experience with a childminder, and I was so, so nervous. Ruzi was the 5th person I contacted and only person I visited. As soon as I met her, and saw her place, I knew it was right for us.
She will definitely be my first choice if I need a childminder again, and I highly recommend her also.

I met Ruzi in a playgroup. She was there minding a baby called May and I came with my baby Poppy. Poppy was very young and I was still on my maternity leave but I was impressed how well Ruzi looked after May so I took her details as I was planning to go back to work, part-time. I got very lucky that day because I don't know what would I do without her. I wasn't able to find someone I could trust women ho is affordable.
Ruzi is kind, flexible, always smiling and Poppy is very happy to stay within her. Her Ofsted rating is outstanding and I can see why! My daughter is so happy!
She has been looking after her for more than a year now and we'll stay a few more months, until preschool.
I highly recommend this nice, warm and wonderful childminder!!!
