Hello! I’m Ruby and one of my favourite things about Licketyspit play sessions is getting to sit down with everyone together and have a good blether about the games we’ve played and the things we’ve seen! I think imaginary play is great because you can be anyone, go anywhere, do anything, and everyone will go there with you. And what could be better than exploring a jungle full of colourful birds where you might find a friendly tiger, or having a picnic on the moon with your family and friends! When I was little, I loved dressing up and making mud pies in the garden. I've worked with Licketyspit as an actor-pedagogue for 5 years and am the outgoing Children & Families Network Producer.

I trained as an actor in London where I grew up and I started working with early years children when I had my own children – Ruby & Iona. Having children reminded me how much I love to play, sing, dance, dress-up, read, explore and make up and act out stories! My Mum Bridget, was a teacher who sang and played the piano and my Dad, John, taught me lots of songs to play on the guitar! I grew up with lots of stories, rhymes and songs and grown-ups who read and played with me and my brother and sister. But I have learned how to do my job running Licketyspit by playing and talking with children, mostly in Scotland, where my Mum came from and where I live now with my own family.
