I can’t thank the team at Jellybean day nursery enough for the care, kindness, and support they’ve shown my daughter. As a child with SEN, it was really important to us that she felt included, understood, and supported—and from the very beginning, the staff have gone above and beyond to make that happen. They’ve created such a nurturing and inclusive environment where she’s truly thrived. She absolutely loves going in each day, which says everything about how safe and happy she feels there. The communication with us as parents has been excellent, and we’ve always felt listened to and involved in her journey. We’ve seen such a positive change in her confidence and development, and we’re so grateful for everything the staff have done. Thank you for making her early years such a happy experience—we couldn’t have asked for more.

Our daughter was at Jellybeans from 6 months to starting school - we have therefore experienced all the rooms; baby room, toddlers & pre-school & all have been fantastic. All the staff have cared for her like she was their own & she was always super happy. Excellent communication, lots of feedback, lovely regular parental events & a very home from home set up. We cannot thank them enough for all that they have done for us & our daughter who has progressed so much in her 4 years. Particular thanks to the amazing manager Mandy, key workers Kirsty & Jess & above all to the lovely Beth who we will all miss enormously. We highly recommend.

Jellybeans has been our daughters home from home for the last 4 years, from 11 months old until school age. We have had a wonderful experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming place to send their child for their early years development. Thank you for the last 4 years and for being so kind and loving to our daughter, she will miss you all for sure !!

A home from home, safe and nurturing environment for your little ones. We started our Jelly Beans journey when our son was one until he graduated from Pre-School this Summer (2023). We had visited lots of really good nurseries in the area but Jelly Beans stood out by being very friendly and extremely flexible. Kelly, Mandy, Lucie and the team have always done their very best to accommodate last minute or ad hoc requests; nothing's ever been too much trouble for them. Our son really enjoyed his time at Jelly Beans and it really did become an extension of the family. The management and staff are just awesome and the children always look happy at the end of the day. We're glad we had our time with them for the past three and a half years and really missed them after that last day – there were a few tears all round. We will definitely be popping back sometime before Christmas to say hello! Would highly recommend.

I cannot rate Jelly Beans day nursery highly enough. Our little boy has been attending since he turned one and I returned to work and I genuinely love dropping him off in the morning as I know how much he loves it and how much they love him. They do so much with the children and they’re always delighted to see us in the morning and when we pick him up in the afternoon. Our son is constantly on the go and is thriving at nursery. They are all so good with him and care for him so much. Kelly and Jay, the owners as well as all the staff are brilliant and as I say, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
