Nurturing little minds, one sapling at a time

At Saplings Childcare, we provide a warm, safe, and nurturing home-style environment where children can learn, play, and grow. As experienced and Ofsted registered childminders, we focus on each child's individual needs, supporting their development through engaging activities, healthy routines, and lots of care and attention. Whether you need full-time, part-time, or flexible childcare, we’re here to support your family with reliable and personal service.

Our Story

Seven years ago, we began our childminding journey with a simple goal: to create a safe, nurturing, and homely environment where children could learn, play, and thrive. Over the years, our little family business has grown, thanks to the trust and support of our wonderful families.

We're excited to share that we've now expanded into a new commercial premises—but with the same home-from-home feel that’s always been at the heart of what we do. Our new setting offers more space, new opportunities, and even more room to explore, while still keeping the warmth, care, and personal touch that families know and love.
