A Home Away From Home At Jelly Beans Daycare In Nottingham

At Jelly Beans Daycare in Nottingham, we believe that children thrive best in an environment where they feel safe, loved, and inspired. That’s why our setting is carefully designed to feel just like home, warm, welcoming and full of discovery. 

Play Areas That Spark Joy 

Every inch of our play zones is set up to inspire learning through exploration and imagination. From messy play tables to role play kitchens and construction zones. It’s all carefully thought out to support developmental milestones while still feeling like fun. 

Each activity area: 

• Encourages social interaction and communication 
• Builds physical and fine motor skills 
• Provides real-word learning through play 

Calm, Cosy & Comforting Corners

Big emotions come with little bodies, and sometimes, children just need a quiet moment to pause. Our cosy corners offer exactly that.

Whats included?

• Soft cushions and snuggly blankets
• Gentle lighting and familiar books
• Sensory toys and calming textures

These spaces help children regulate their emotions and feel safe. Whether it’s a cuddle with a soft toy or a quiet story with a key worker, these areas offer reassurance and calm when needed most.

‘Comfortable environments build emotional intelligence and self-soothing skills.’

Play Spaces That Spark Big Imaginations

We’ve filled Jelly Beans with carefully curated play zones that feel just like the ones children might explore at home, but with a bit more magic!

• Our mini kitchens inspire little chefs
• Construction zones challenge budding builders
• Dressing-up areas turn toddlers into superheroes, doctors, or explorers
  

These play spaces encourage collaboration, communication, and creativity — all while developing key learning skills through fun, hands-on experiences.

‘Play is children’s work, and here, they love going to “work” every day!.’

Bringing the Outdoors in

We also love to bring nature into our rooms with leafy plants, natural textures, and earthy tones that help children feel connected to the world around them. 

This approach fosters a sense of calm, responsibility, and respect for living things. It’s a small touch, but it makes a big difference in how children relate to their space. 

Natural Touches That Nurture

Children naturally respond to the world around them, so we bring nature indoors with:

• Wooden toys and earthy materials
• Indoor plants and seasonal displays
• Outdoor-influenced learning themes

Not only does this make our space calm and welcoming, but it also helps children develop respect for nature, curiosity, and mindfulness.

‘A little greenery can go a long way in creating a peaceful and inspiring space.‘

A Home Away From Home

Every child deserves to feel a sense of belonging, and we work closely with families to make sure every child feels welcome, secure, and seen.

Our home-like approach allows children to:

• Settle in with ease
• Build confidence and independence
• Develop socially and emotionally at their own pace
  

Parents often tell us, ‘It feels like a second home‘, and we couldn’t agree more.
