About Me
**Currently no availability until September 2025- Please feel free to enquire for waiting list details. **
A quick hello from Bluebells & Blossoms Childminding...
I'm Rhianne and I run Bluebells & Blossoms from my home close to the centre of Sittingbourne... a handy short walk from the train station. My setting consists of two fully child-level play rooms attached to a free-flow outdoor space where we love to get stuck into water play! All our space at Bluebells & Blossoms is designed to meet developmental requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
I pride myself on my Reggio Emilia and Montessori inspired setting and believe in being a guide for children in their own curiosity and creative thinking.
My husband and I do not currently have any children of our own which means I can give all my attention and focus to the little ones I care for each day. We do have two house cats by the names of Alfa and Augustus. Alfa particularly loves to show affection to our babies here at Bluebells & Blossoms. Augustus is more of a breakfast boy and likes to say good morning to the children before he naps ... all day long!
I am registered with a childminding agency who are registered with Ofsted. They are regulated by Ofsted which means they are licensed to train, support and mediate if need be. Being with an agency means I am inspected every single year and essentially have two inspecting bodies which is comfort to families and extra support for my own development.
We regularly visit our local soft play, country parks, library and bakery. We have designed the larger part of our garden as a dedicated place to learn about gardening, growing and life cycles.

I was struggling to find a childminder that would have our daughter with her being such a young age and having only a small amount of time before being back to work and I found bluebells and blossoms.
Rhianne and Sophie have been absolutely amazing with Aurora and she has settled in very well and developed a close bond with them both which took a while because she wouldn’t even leave my side without crying, but they were very patient with her and with the knowledge and experience they have shows they are very passionate about what they do. And it was a great feeling when I was able to drop her off for the first time and she didn’t even cry which the settling sessions helped a lot.
The placement is great and our daughter is very happy, safe and is developing & learning new things she loves to play and explore new things we are very grateful.😊
We were recently let down with our previous childminder at short notice and found Bluebells and Blossoms and wow what a blessing in disguise it really has been.
Rhianne and Sophie have been absolutely fantastic with our little boy who has previously had difficultly settling at other childcare settings. One of the big things that drew us to them when we first met, was how much their experience and knowledge shone through not only in their setting, but in them as a team. It’s also obvious that they really care and are passionate about what they do, which for us was an absolute must!
We were so impressed with their settling in process, everything felt like such a personal experience and that has certainly continued since he has started his sessions.
We can’t even truly begin to express how grateful we are to the both of them for taking such good care of our son. He’s confident, secure, happy, safe and we really trust them to look after him. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
