Ruth runs nurseries herself, so she reads your numbers as an owner, not as an accountant.
Five areas of work. Some owners need one, some need all five. The free clarity call is where you find out which.
01
Most nursery owners can tell you how many children they have on roll. Fewer know what it actually costs to care for each one, and fewer still know whether they are making a profit.
02
Government childcare funding should support your setting. For many providers it quietly undermines it. Ruth helps you understand what you receive, what you should be claiming, and where the funding gap is costing you.
03
Your accountant files your accounts. Ruth helps you actually understand them: an annual health check on the numbers that decide whether the setting is sustainable.
04
This is the work Ruth is most known for and most passionate about. She has bought distressed settings herself and built profitable, Ofsted-ready operations from the ground up.
05
Understanding the numbers should not be something only directors have access to. Managers and team leaders make sharper decisions when they understand the financial picture.
A benchmark worth knowing
Are you over or under? Either extreme signals a problem. Wage bill benchmarking shows you exactly where your setting sits, and what that means for the decisions in front of you.
