Teamwork really did make the dream work as this 100 piece puzzle was completed before breakfast today!! This then inspired the children to work together to build a space station to make it extra bright and colourful!!!! We love following our children’s passions and obsessions as it leads to such focused, inspired learning and brilliant …
Name a better way to spend your morning outside… Cheeky Monkeys just had so much fun getting their hands messy and painting with their fingers on the perspex screen. As they painted and selected colours to use they named the different colours they could see and they gave them an experimental mix too to then …

What a lovely walk to the canal they all had recently and they were so very lucky with the weather too as they avoided the rain showers!! They saw lots of ducks and they were soooooooo greedy eating all of the food the room had taken for them. They saw babies walking with their mummy …

Wrapped fruit for snack time you say?! Whatever next?!?!?! We’re certain some of our parents/carers think we’re just crazy daisies here at Jollies with some of the things we do, but we promise there’s method in our madness…. always!!! If you want children to become really good writers you don’t just shove a pen in …
Imogen was soaked in a flash!!!! Little water babies are definitely what we have here at Jollies….

Our babies experimented with swooshing the water around the tray with their hands, scooping it up with the containers, …
