Role-playing days and the best sharing ways spent imagining together here at Jollies…… xxxx

…BLAST OFF!!!!

Free-Flow are about to zoom into some very creative play in their new space area lovingly set up by Laura S and Imogen xxxx

Another AMAZING celebration… 20 years of Jolly Emma xxxx

What an achievement in this day and age… Emma has now worked here at Jollies for 20 years!

We all gave her three cheers and celebrated all things Emma…. As well as presenting her with two extra holiday days and a £500 travel voucher to make those extra days really count!!!!

Thank you for being you and all the amazing things you have brought to Jollies over the years; what an impact you have had upon so many hundreds of little people’s lives (and big ones too!) We all love you, Emma Xxxx

Today we all gathered together to say goodbye (for now…) to our two beautiful baby bump laden members of Team Jollies…. Tia and Emily

We presented them with a huge baby bath hamper full of all things baby that Team Jollies had put together for them as well as cards, balloons and of course our ‘Happy Leaving’ song

Tia’s last day is today and Emily’s tomorrow so do make sure you say a goodbye for now and wish them both luck.

We can’t wait to hear their amazing baby news soon, but what we do know is that these two will make the most marvellous mummies and their babies are going to be so, so, so loved, well cared for and cherished

Now get those Jolly bumps out of here and get those feet up!!!

We can’t wait to meet your gorgeous girlies…. xxxx

…..And your creations are AMAZING!!!

We love it when our children give us the full story and insight behind their amazing pictures!

Every child is indeed an artist …..Let the creativity flow… xxxx

must come down……….(and can then be kicked, thrown and caught!!)

Happy days and the best ball-using ways spent showing our skills here at Jollies xxxx

To the rescue we go!!!!!!!

can she fix it? Imogen the builder, YES she can…

These little ones worked VERY closely with Imogen to create a den whilst outside recently. You can tell by the looks on their faces that they were enjoying some great discussions and negotiation together as they manipulated the poles to build and create!!

Team Jollies play a key role in helping our children utilise the outdoor environment to develop and extend their knowledge, skills, language and understanding on a HUGE and exciting scale!! Xxxx

What’s better than putting your physical skills to the test having fun on the seesaw?

…. Doing it with your sister!!!! We are one BIG Jolly Family here at nursery, but when you’re playing outside and can get together with your actual family then it’s even more wonderful!!

With brothers and sisters we adore, spending time going up and down and round and round on the seesaw…. Life doesn’t get more perfect here at Jollies xxxx

Possums’ problem-solving skills were put to the test recently when our little giraffes explored two different resources to help develop and explore them (and help develop their resilience too as they tried and tried again after a quick tweak of their movement or chosen tactics!!)

The spiral ring stacker helped develop their hand/eye coordination and focus as the children had to place the rings on the top of the stick and they would then spin all the way down to the bottom in a VERY satisfying style….

The second one was a little more tricky as the children had to try and figure out how to get the pieces out from inside the box.

Different strategies were employed and trialled and our children were VERY determined to complete their missions!

What clever little people we have here at Jollies who learn through their play in the best possible way… bring on the fun!!!! xxxx
