Celebrating those milestones…
We love to celebrate all the milestones in our children’s lives with them; from feeding themselves for the first time, creating animal sound effects, saying their very first words, pulling themselves to standing, taking their first nursery steps, climbing up the stairs, whizzing down the slide, counting to 3, 5, 10, 20…100, singing at the …
Cause and Effect!!
Technology toys give us all the opportunity to explore this concept… When I push this button what happens next? When I tap that part of the touch screen what will I see? When I press the remote control where will the car whizz to? When I choose this option from the tablet’s menu which game …
Firefighters to the rescue!!
Inside, outside, we just love to role-play EVERYWHERE… our imaginations are truly all we ever need, but when dressing up and props are thrown into the mix too life becomes even more exciting!! xxxx
The room became a ball pool….
What’s better than a ball pool you ask? A room full of balls! Emma and Katie turned their room into a giant ball pool and it was immense!!! They all loved throwing balls at each other, kicking balls to make them fly across the room and they even made ball angels on the carpet!! Xxxx
When I grow up should I be a chef or a builder?!

Sun’s out…fun’s out!!

As well as creating a refreshing healthy treat, this activity was also a superb opportunity to naturally extend vocabulary as Ellison named all the fruits and her children attempted to copy …
Beep Beep!!!
In Terrific Twos our children have lots of interests and one of them is TRANSPORT! They love cars, trains, bikes… everything transport related! So, responding to her children’s observed interests, Laura created an open invitation for everyone to come and join in pushing cars and trains along the road, but not just ordinary cars… before …
A vision of the future for our smallest Jollies?!?
Same resource… different use…. Instead of climbing to the top and sitting and admiring our view (and achievement!!), the self-selected challenge for our oldest children was: leaping off from as high as they possibly could… and they could!!!!! At Jollies our children blossom, grow and thrive and we are all so very proud of their …
King of my castle
Literally ‘King of the Castle’ after climbing a (tyre) mountain… putting our physical skills to the test is simply the best!! xxxx
