Jelly Beans comprises two large rooms:

​

Santa Maria Room: this is a bespoke space for younger children from birth to approaching 24 months, where they can flourish and explore at a pace suitable to their age. A plethora of Montessori infant and toddler equipment is at the ready, including treasure baskets, play boxes and play and build activities.

​

St Nicholas Room: this room is the base of our provision for children approaching 24 months, where we can consolidate a child's concept of numbers and quantity, letter sounds, exploration of the natural world, behaviour, manners and much, much more.

 

We also offer the more usual pre-school activities of playdough, painting, cutting and sticking, story telling and singing, Brio, Duplo, dolls, dressing up and role play.

​

Children are supported by qualified staff following the correct government ratios. The safety, comfort and happiness of children is paramount.

​

For both age groups, the outdoor classroom plays a key role in the school day, while walks to nearby Hockley Woods and visits to the local library are popular outings for the children. In each instance a high staff:child ratio is maintained to ensure safety.
