About this day nursery

Early Years at Wilne House, established in 2023, provides childcare for children aged 0-4 years old. 30am to 6pm, offering a consistent and welcoming environment for children.

The latest Ofsted inspection, on 1st July 2025, rated the nursery as 'Good', highlighting the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Children are welcomed warmly by attentive staff who know them well, helping them feel safe, settled, and valued.

Staff create a calm, respectful, and nurturing environment, supporting children to display positive behaviours and develop emotional literacy. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress.

Staff closely observe and respond to individual needs, quickly identifying those requiring extra support and working with families and professionals to provide it. Additional funding is effectively used for targeted resources and interventions to close learning and development gaps.

A unique aspect of the nursery is the daily outings to the local park, providing plenty of space for exercise and fresh air, where children can run, climb, and play ball games to develop physical skills and coordination. Regular visits to local shops and pet stores also offer valuable opportunities for new experiences and to explore the community.

Don’t be misled by the friendly smiles and talk about child development. My daughter worked hard to settle in, build trust, and feel safe. Then her place was suddenly terminated due to “absence,” even though she had only 18 days off—well within the 20 days covered by funding. I know of other children with more absences who remained enrolled. It felt like she was replaced without hesitation, possibly for a child with more hours or extra payments. A deeply disappointing and unfair experience.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since January, after turning two. She was a quite shy girl who I believe delayed within her speech. Over a short period of time attending the nursery my daughter has came out of her shell and became confident and her speech and development has came along leaps. Her speech is so clear now and she is starting to form sentence. She can count on her own to 10 and above and do the whole of the alphabet! This is all due to the amazing staff, who want to help and see all the children within their care strive and develop. We could not recommend this nursery enough. They take great care and pride in communication throughout the day your child attends to keep you updated and informed. We looked around many nurseries , but Jellybeans was the only nursery where my daughter went straight into playing and bonding with the staff. It has the homily feeling when you walk through the doors and I think that is a very important for any child. If your looking for the perfect nursery, this is the one!

My son has been going to Jellybeans since he was one, since joining he has developed so well and so much! He loves all of his teachers and is always so happy to go in, he asks every night if we are going back the next day. They have improved his independence and helped me with his potty training to the point he is now nappy free. Couldn’t recommend a better nursery! Would never go anywhere else. Thank you Jellybeans ⭐️

Jellybeans has been amazing with my son and my daughter. They have always had a brilliant time, arriving with smiling and coming home full of beans! The staff are just lovely, always there for a chat. Jellybeans has made it much easier with working life, knowing that my children are cared for, loved and all the time learning something new through fun play, makes me one happy mommy.

As parents you worry about where to send your precious cargo each day, and the decision making process is not an easy one. However, we were made to feel very welcome at Jellybeans, and most importantly our little girl has settled in very well. Her development around learning, motor skills and social interaction is very rewarding to see. Jellybeans staff are very friendly and supportive, and the whole set up is very professionally run. An easy choice.
