Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and staff have clear ambitions for all children. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are identified quickly to ensure their development is supported. The manager proactively engages with other professionals to ensure targeted support is provided to those children.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from ample opportunities to develop their physical skills in the outdoor area, practicing balancing on beams, navigating the garden on balance bicycles, and creating self-made assault courses. However, there are fewer opportunities for children to develop skills across all areas of learning while they play outdoors.

Both our children attended Jollies. We looked at more local nurseries and decided to go with Jollies which was a bit further away for the simple fact that is just felt right. When we first visited for our eldest son, the staff were so nice and welcoming and the nursery was very inviting. After a success with our first born, we sent our second son there also. Our second son had additional needs and required extra support. Jollies were absolutely amazing. They were so supportive. Both our children were very settled, made great friendships with other children, and bonds with the staff. Most importantly they had fun, they were safe and we trusted the nursery. We would highly recommend Jollies to anyone. Recent renovations have been made to the outside play area which we have been fortunate enough to see and it is incredible.

Absolutely amazing place! My twins loved attending here: always a warm welcome every day for them. They enjoyed doing loads of different activities every which were child led. Now with the garden extension it’ll be even better! The teaching was absolutely fantastic and my twins really enjoyed learning new things every day. They had such a good understanding of phonics and numeracy, as well as softer skills like turn taking and listening that meant the transition to school has been really easy. I cannot recommend jollies house enough, the staff went above and beyond for us and our children and I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Both my children have attended Jollies house. First being my son and now my daughter is currently at Jollies House. The Jollies team are very friendly and caring with the children, and genuinely care about their individual needs. My daughter is such a mummys girl and only wants to be with me, yet she runs into Jollies house on the 3 days that she goes and for me that speaks volumes. The communication between Jollies and home is brilliant always giving you updates of their progress and what they have done each day that they are there. To have that reassurance when they are there and knowing they are safe and happy is the most important thing to me as a parent. They offer so much more than any nursery I looked at in the past with my son and for me I would never consider anywhere else. Jo and her team have built a nursery they should all be proud of and I’m grateful we are part of that family.

Wow! Just wow! My daughter has progressed so much in the year and half she has been going here! The staff are absolutely amazing - full of energy, so caring and the perfect role models for my little one. The Nursery itself is so well structured - the routine and communication with parents is unlike any other setting we have been involved with. Jollies have 2 amazing apps where you can see what your children have been up to during the day, what they have eaten along with any development reviews and pictures! They notify you when the child has checked in/out of nursery and you can message the staff directly... I love the themes and topics they learn about each week/month! My daughter often comes home saying ‘hello’ in different languages! My son will also be going here when he is old enough... Thank you Jo and all the team at Jollies xx

My little boy has been going to Jollie's for over a year now and he absolutely loves it. They do so many wonderful activities, have such a fun and loving environment, and to top it all have extended the garden for even more outdoor adventures. All the teachers are fantastic and my son loves them all. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting and is positively flourishing. Also, he has made some really close friendships. It is just such a happy place and we are so thrilled our son is there. (He often asks to go to nursery school at the weekends when we drive past he loves it that much!). I cannot recommend them highly enough, and when our daughter is old enough we hope she can go too. We love Jollie's!
