The ART of conversation
A wonderful morning spent here when this little one drew their lovely family and proceeded to tell NatNat (in detail!) who each person was and they positively glowed as they talked about them with such excitement and pride! Arty days and conversational ways spent together here at Jollies xxxx
Looking Gorgeous
Who knew shiny, shiny things could bring so much pleasure to our little ones?! Their key people did clearly; as they’d observed them spontaneously looking in the room’s mirror and giggling as they loved looking at their gorgeous reflections… So the ultimate shiny ‘tuff tray’ was set up to extend their current observed interest xxxx
Staying Cool In THE Best Possible Way
Our nursery is truly a home from home and when your little one joins our Jolly Family they will embark upon the best possible learning journey as they experience daily adventures with their friends.

Inspired by 75 fabulous years of our NHS our children set about caring for them and making their friends feel much better. Perhaps we have some future fabulous doctors and nurses here at Jollies…. Xxxx
5,4,3,2,1 BLAST OFF!!….
We blasted off into sensory heaven the other day with a giant space themed painting! We started off with a crinkly emergency blanket for our base, added some slimy paint, some sensory silver balls (that make different sounds when rolled) and a selection of different rollers and cutters to make shapes in the paint.
