Our daughter has been with Ruth from the age of 9 months, up until now (she is now just under 2). Ruth has been incredibly caring, kind and supportive with her. She clearly enjoys her job as a childminder and spending time with children, is always full of ideas of outings and crafts & activities, and has always communicated with us very well. During lockdown, Ruth has been a lifeline for our family - managing to take care of our daughter while homeschooling her two daughters, without it impacting the quality of her care. She has a large garden full of nooks & crannies for little ones to explore, and under her care our daughter has developed great language and numerical skills - pushed no doubt by Ruth's conversation, and her two older daughters who have inspired our little one a lot.
Her house is clean and Margot has enjoyed the home-cooked food and numerous toys and play.
I would highly recommend Ruth as a childminder, she has been a rare find and has provided a lot of love, learning and caring for our daughter over the months.
