Childminding & Nanny Services
Pride & Joy registered childminding and nanny services - delivered to you and your family by Ruth Samways your local Lytham St Annes Steiner Waldorf Practitioner & Early Years Specialist. A holistic, respectful and professionally loving approach to child care. Promoting a healthy, imaginative and creative childhood filled with joy & wonder. Children have time to learn through play, build independence through developing life skills and establish understanding and gratitude for wildlife and the natural world.
What is the Steiner Waldorf approach?
Welcome to the Pride & Joy family!
With a wealth of experience and professional knowledge of child development, Ruth is by your side every step of the way.
Pride & Joy specialises in supporting the family unit as a whole, as well as focusing on the task of satisfying each individual child’s true needs. There are many benefits to a clear and communicative parent & professional partnership, particularly in the promotion of the very best future outcomes for your child. Parenting in the 21st century isn’t easy; it will challenge and stretch you in ways you never imagined. Having other parents in the community to share your experiences with and the opportunity to support each other is invaluable. All subscribing parents are invited to access the Pride & Joy WhatsApp forum and can receive one-to-one support with Ruth.

This is where the care of your child takes place within my own, much loved, home based setting. I specialise in providing a calm, secure and unhurried environment for your child to grow and develop at their own pace while feeling loved, and nurtured. With a wealth of resources and a kitchen garden there are so many play and learning opportunities in this tailored and enabling environment. We also go for walks, sing songs, share stories and engage in seasonal and creative activities.
