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
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 friendly, reliable and caring. Would recommend this lady.

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.
