The setting excels in promoting children's health and wellbeing, encouraging healthy food choices, good oral health practices, and physical development through planned activities like stretching and movement.

Inclusion & environment
All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make excellent progress from their individual starting points. Jelly Bean Nursery demonstrates a highly inclusive approach, ensuring all children with special educational needs and/or disabilities achieve well and fully access the curriculum. Staff are highly knowledgeable and continuously strengthen their understanding through ongoing training, using this knowledge to quickly identify and reduce barriers to learning. The nursery works effectively with external professionals, including speech and language therapists and healthcare professionals, to provide consistent support for children and their families. This inclusive approach particularly benefits children with SEND, while also supporting all children to build confidence, resilience and emotional awareness. Staff use funding effectively, including early years pupil premium, to provide resources and experiences that support children's development and help reduce gaps in learning.
Leaders identified that children's access to outdoor learning could be strengthened further and have already started extending the outdoor area to create a nature space that encourages children's curiosity and discovery. Children thrive during the extensive opportunities for outdoor play and physical activity. They confidently access a wide range of resources, including skateboards, climbing equipment and ball games.
We truly could not have chosen a more perfect start for our daughter than this nursery. From the very first day, the warmth, professionalism, and genuine care shown by every single member of staff has been nothing short of incredible. The team create such a nurturing, safe, and inspiring environment where children are not only cared for, but truly known and understood as individuals. Our daughter has grown in confidence, independence, and curiosity in ways we couldn’t have imagined. She comes home every day happy, full of stories, and excited to go back the next morning — which says everything. The activities are thoughtfully planned, creative, and clearly designed to support development while still allowing the children to simply enjoy being children. We’ve loved seeing the regular updates and photos, which give us such reassurance and a beautiful glimpse into her day. What stands out most is the genuine love and dedication the staff show. They go above and beyond — celebrating milestones, offering support when needed, and building real relationships with both the children and parents. We have always felt listened to, supported, and completely confident that our daughter is in the very best hands. Choosing a nursery is such an important decision, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found this one. It’s more than a nursery — it’s a community, and it has given our daughter the most wonderful foundation for her future. We will always be grateful for the care, patience, and joy you bring into her life every single day. Thank you for everything.
