My daughter has been with the nursery since last year. The one thing I love is that I can leave her with no concerns as I know how well they are being met which as a mother means so much too me.
She is always happy and smiling and telling me about how great her day has been and what she has been doing.
As
a sen mum especially I am so grateful for all the wonderful support she receives and this has been the best decision I have made to send her to this nursery and I will be sad the day she has too leave.

My daughter has attended since September 2023, and her older sister attended before her, I believe this is the best pre-school in the area. I have never had any issues, the staff genuinely care for the children and are very kind and good fun. My daughter really enjoys her days and can't wait to go back
after the weekend, she is always making things that she can't wait to show me, and everyone else she sees! Hopefully her sister will be also starting this September.

My little girl has been at Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School since early 2023 when she was 2 and is due to start school this September. She has had the best time at the pre-school and has learnt so much, as well as developing socially. She is always happy to go and the staff are always so warm and welcoming.
They do forest school once a week and always involve parents with various activities such as events and setting goals for your child. They love to do messy activities and encourage their learning through play. She has made such good friends and always speaks highly of all the staff members. I love looking at her pictures from the day spent at the setting and have never had any worries about her time there. My little boy will be going to the pre-school too.
I feel very lucky we have found such a lovely setting.

It has been amazing, had my special needs daughter their from 2023 to 2024 before she went to school. She was well taken care of, she improved with her development, she wasn't treated differently in respect of her condition. I loved how she was always included in every activity. I had to take my son
also and I believe he would love it.

The staff at Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School are so caring. I have had two children at the setting (one at school now). When my eldest daughter arrived there, she was shy and unconfident. When she left, she was ready for school and chatty/confident with her peers. She was like a different person.
The
manager is a wonderful lady and has incredible empathy and understanding for all of the children. All of the staff really are lovely and take their time to help each child feel at ease and comforted.
I have looked at other nurseries and they were cold and didn't really seem to get to know the children well. But at this setting, it felt like a home from home.
They also do forest school and connect with nature. There is not a pressure on too much learning at once, it is done in a fun and exploratory way.
I am so pleased I sent my children here.

My son has thrived so much at Jellybeans. He's always been a very shy child, and has struggled with his speech, but now he runs straight into the preschool every morning and his speech has improved so much. The staff are lovely and down to earth. I read about people having concerns at different nurseries
all the time but I can honestly say I have never had any concerns, I know my son is safe and having a great time when he is there. Their consumable fee is so cheap compared to nurseries in the area too. My youngest son will be joining in the new year. Thank you for looking after my son.

I plan on home educating in future and didn't think nursery necessary. I put my little one in for a trial, almost assuming it wouldn't work out.
However, the team at Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School have warmly welcomed my daughter and she looks forward to going each week. She genuinely loves it! The
child-led approach and gentle nature of the staff have made all the difference. Little one now loves to play 'school' at home and speaks fondly of her time at Jellybeans.

My daughter has been at Jumping Jellybeans Nursery since September, and she truly has blossomed during her time at this nursery. We had a difficult start as we are quite attached, but the manager and her team all helped so, so much, and I can not be more grateful. I can't praise all the ladies enough
for all their work with my daughter. Thank you.

My daughter absolutely loves this wonderful preschool and always looking forward to attending. Every day is an adventure at Jellybeans! Staff work really hard and go above and beyond for children and parents. They teach children life skills and how to be independent little people. Added bonus is the
forest school and learning through sensory and play. It’s amazing to know that my daughter is in a caring environment while she isn’t at home. Definitely made the right choice by choosing thing place and would highly recommend!

Jellybeans is amazing! My son loves going each week. His teachers are caring, lovely and make it feel like a family. They value each child, learning through their interests and fun play-based activities. The set-up is brilliant, with natural resources bringing the outdoors in, creating a real calming
atmosphere that is well thought out and nurturing for the child. They have forest school days in the woods and make the most of the outside area they have. The owner is an early years teacher and you can really tell that she and all her staff take pride in their job as role models, really taking time to give the children the best early experiences. My son has learnt a lot whilst there and particularly enjoys the yoga sessions and even French they have been learning. We are kept well informed about what our child has been up to each day, through photos, videos and comments via a secure app. It is great to feel we are not missing out on seeing him have such fun. We wish we had sent our firstborn too!

I can highly recommend Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School. My middle son was there for over a year before school and loved every minute. My youngest son has recently started there and is coming along leaps and bounds. Their attention to each child’s personal needs and differing development stages is admirable.
I have full confidence leaving my child there to have a fantastic day, packed with a range of activities and plenty to play within a sociable and safe environment.

My son has attended Jumping Jellybeans since January 2018 when he was 2 years and 3 months old. I sent him here as his brother was here before he started school and I couldn’t be happier with the staff and the variety of activities each day and the resources used. The preschool are very focused on child-initiated
learning and it teaches children to explore and gain independence and create great relationships with their peers. 10 out of 10 highly recommended.

My youngest daughter attends this preschool and so did my eldest daughter and I just cannot fault it. I feel so confident leaving my daughter with any of the staff who are all friendly and amazing! With their regular training, you know that they will always give a 5* service to their children. I will
be very sad to see my daughter leave come July when she will be ready for school. A 5* preschool.

Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School is an exceptional preschool whose ethos puts children at the heart of everything they do. Our son joined Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School when he was two and we have been so impressed with all of the amazing activities he does each week. The online journal is such a bonus
for us as we can talk to him about what he’s been up to each day using the photographs as a prompt and continue his learning at home. The offer of Forest School sessions were a huge contributing factor for us when we were choosing a nursery as we have a very active and inquisitive little boy and we have been so impressed. Each week, the children have the opportunity to practice a range of skills and he brings home work he has produced made from natural resources. The staff are always friendly and responsive to our communication in his communication book and when we drop-off and pick up it is clear they understand and value the wants and needs of every parent and child. Thank you.

Reply from Debbie Southern, Manager at Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School

Thank you for your review. It's lovely to hear that you find the online journal useful and that you can share it with your son. It's something we hoped would be a valuable resource for parents so we were pleased to read this in your review.

My daughter started preschool in September, from the beginning she was very happy every day to go there and upset over the weekend that she couldn't go. Her English has improved a lot and her writing and drawing are much better. She has started to be more independent and confident on her abilities.
All the staff are great and they give us the parents confidence that our child is in good and qualified hands.

My daughter has attended Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School since October 2020 when she was two years and nine months. Even on the first visit she was extremely happy to be there and is always excited to go in the mornings, I was concerned about how she would settle in as this was her first time in a different
environment without her parents. However, the staff at Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School are so kind and intuitive that at no point has my daughter been unhappy to attend. They provide a wide range of activities, my daughter is always bringing home crafts they have made together and we also get to see pictures of what the children have been doing in the day from the app.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.688)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.688) out of 10 for Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.988 for Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.988

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 number of registered child places is 5.6, which has been reached with 7 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
