Will your imagination flutter away with the fairies as you visit their magical gardens? Will you find your loudest voice as you have a ROARSOME time with our stomping dinosaurs? Will you dig, dump and roll until your heart’s content on our Jolly construction site? Or will you sniff out the perfect smells to add to your concoctions in our mud kitchen?!!?!

Whatever you decide to do we know you’ll love being outside in our Jolly garden xxxx

Over the weekend even more beautiful spaces were created at Jollies so that this week invitations to play would be plentiful helping our children to soon become distracted if they should feel emotional starting in, or moving to, a new room…

This, combined with the empathy, love, care, snuggles and understanding provided by the Jolly grownups, should soon see our children settling and once their well-being is high they will begin to positively thrive as they embark upon, or continue along, their individual learning journeys

We shall all be observing very closely to see how our children respond to their new learning environments so we can spot their individual passions, interests and obsessions and can then tweak, adapt, alter and add to environments accordingly…. We love getting to know our children inside out so we can support and challenge them as required and truly ensure their learning journeys are the best they can possibly be for them all xxxx

Some more fun from our 2025 Reception Class School Leavers Party last week……. We wish all our children the very best of luck as they begin their school journeys this week and next and we look forward to first day uniform photos being emailed in/uploaded on the app/being posted in our closed group so we can add them to our display in nursery. They are being missed already!!

Again, a huge thank you for all our parents/carers’ kindness and generosity (the gifts and cards made us smile and cry!!) and thank you for working in such close partnership with us throughout your children’s whole Jolly learning journeys, it’s very much appreciated by the whole of Team Jollies.

Keep in touch!! Xxxx

A huge thank you to every Team Jolly member who came in today and gave up some of their very precious weekend to get things set up for their new children in their new rooms…. Such exciting times ahead!!!

There’s still a lot to be done and the rooms will keep taking shape over the next few weeks, but there are new toys to be played with, new books to be read, new equipment to explore capacity and splash with, new pens to create masterpieces with, new frames ready to be filled with special people photos, new equipment to explore in the sensory room, new display boards ready as a blank canvas to add photos and artwork to amongst many, many other exciting things….

Our focus will very much be upon helping our little ones feel happy and settled within their new rooms and beginning to build the strongest of bonds as we get to know them all, but we think they will love the exciting spaces and areas being created for them…

Roll on September and new beginnings and wonderful new bonds forming as learning journeys are continued, or are getting underway…… sooooo much fun ahead for us all together! Xxxx

Earlier today Team Free-Flow sent all their children off with so much love (and a great big squeeze!!!).

We are all sooooo very proud of each and every one of them and we know that they are more than ‘school ready’ and will smash this next exciting stage….. From the strongest roots they’ve now got the wings to fly…. and we know they’ll all soar high!!!!!

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey so far xxxx

With roots to grow and wings to fly

You’re guaranteed to reach the sky

But although school is calling

At Jollies we are stalling…

We don’t want to let you all go quite yet

The thought of this makes us all upset!

You have been an awesomely amazing bunch

Quite honestly, we have to tell you, when it comes to the crunch

Just how fabulous you have been throughout

You’ve brought us laughter, fun and giggles there is no doubt

You’ve learnt from us, but we’ve learnt from you

Seeing your perseverance and resilience in all that you do!

Your achievements all grow and grow

Bags of confidence you daily show

So take a bow and take a leap

And into school life throw yourselves in deep!

Please know that you have made us all proud

So together we’re going to shout out loud

Thank you one and all…. Now get yourselves off to school!!
