Each setting, while unique in character, upholds authentic Montessori principles, focusing on child-led learning within prepared environments, guided by highly trained educators. They offer outstanding early years education with over 20 years of experience serving local families. The settings include Jelly Beans Nursery for ages 0-3, emphasising attachment, sensory exploration, and language development; Open Air Day Nursery for ages 2+, which provides outdoor Montessori learning, including Forest School activities at Hockley Primary; and Jelly Beans Day Nursery at Plumberow, a cosy preschool for ages 2+ at Plumberow Primary Academy. All settings are rated 'Good' by OFSTED, with the Open Air setting also Collaborative Montessori Accredited. They collectively operate for 50 or 51 weeks a year to offer flexibility and consistency for working families. The curriculum is grounded in the Montessori Method, incorporating practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics, and cultural activities to foster concentration, independence, early literacy, and a broad understanding of the world. Our ethos Jelly Beans Montessori's ethos is rooted in giving every child in Hockley access to authentic Montessori education in a warm, nurturing environment, with shared values of respect, independence, and joy in learning. What it's like Children separate from their parents at the pre-school door with an eagerness to start the day. Staff greet them with a friendly and cheery smile and welcome them into the home-from-home setting. Children show high levels of independence and care for their own play environment, for instance, they wash their own hands, cut and serve themselves snacks and pour their own drinks. When they notice they have spilt water, they use paper towels to clear up any puddles. Staff take care to ensure that children are praised for helping.
