Sarah Talbot

Assistant

I am really excited about joining the team at Sam Goldsworthy Childminding. I am looking forward to getting to know the children and being out and about with them. I love sharing books and joining in with child led imaginative play.

I am an outdoors person and when I’m not working I like to swim in the sea all year round, mess around on boats, ride horses, go camping and cook food to share with friends and family. I have two teenage children and have worked as a primary school teacher for over 25 years.

Bonnie Paterson

Assistant

Hello my name is Bonnie, I am super excited to be part of the team at Sam Goldsworthy Childminding.

I am particularly eager to support the children’s learning and development through play, encouraging their curiosity and helping them build confidence and independence. I am also looking forward to spending lots of time outdoor with the children, giving them opportunities to explore nature, be active, develop their physical skills and learn through real life experiences.

In my spare time I enjoy spending quality time with my family outdoors exploring nature, going for walks and finding new places to discover together. Alongside family time, I enjoy staying active by attending a local gym- high intensity work outs are my favourite.
