About Me
Please enquire for waiting list information.
Graded Outstanding May 2024.
Hello! I’m Rhianne and I run Bluebells & Blossoms childminding from my home close to the centre of Sittingbourne. My husband, Jordan, and I have utilised our space by designing the downstairs of our home to be solely dedicated to an in-home style nursery. Everything is child level and designed to meet development requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. I am a qualified Level 3 Early Years Educator and I’ve also obtained a few other qualifications including a Level 3 in SEND and an NCFE CACHE Level 3 Early Years SENCo qualification.
At Bluebells & Blossoms we have designed our curriculum intent around our belief that every child is unique and should feel encouraged to be confident, independent, motivated, inspired, supported and above
all happy. BSL, Yoga and Gardening are a big part of our curriculum too.
At Bluebells & Blossoms we continuously work on our setting environment.
Inspired by the 'Reggio Emilia' approach; neutral colours are enforced throughout to provide a calm and curiosity sparking space.
Reggio Emilia notes the importance of mirrors for light and reflection- we have mirrors dotted around our play rooms in a total of 5 areas including our free-flow learning garden.
We use natural resources to engage creative thinking and work on the opportunity of bringing the outdoors inside! We believe both indoor and outdoor learning should interlink and flow smoothly to provide a wider and more versatile learning environment.
As well as the environment being a crucial factor in supporting a child's development Reggio Emilia emphasises the importance of strong parent and community relationships. Our use of the Famly app provides a private parent community as well as regular updates on how your child's day is going. At Bluebells and Blossoms we strongly believe in maintaining a strong and personal relationship with parents/carers to provide the best foundation for your child to learn and grow during their time with us.
In terms of our wider community we love to visit and support our local parks, our library and play spaces. We never miss an opportunity to visit our local bakery too.
We carry out surveys with our families, have two setting scrapbooks and partake in regular training to ensure our environment is always up to the mark!

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!
