We Provide a Caring & Stable Environment For Your Child

Hi, we are Kelly and Jay, and are the owners of Jelly Beans Day Nursery which relocated to Albert Street in Stapleford in the Spring of 2023.

After both being full time working parents ourselves, we understand how important it is to find excellent childcare. This led us to start Jelly Beans Childcare in 2015 which was initially started from our home. In 2018 we expanded into Jelly Beans Day Nursery at our family run setting which provides childcare that both children and parents enjoy and love.

We envisioned a home from home environment similar to our childminding business, but on a larger scale, so you and your child will be welcomed with a calming and warm environment with exploration and curiosity at the heart of all of our rooms.

Over the last 6 years we have been on a journey to fine tune our inner explorers and as a team we have achieved such a beautiful setting where children can use their imagination through play to develop and learn.

Our Jelly Beans family provide a caring and stable environment delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum from birth to five years to encourage children to develop and grow ready for starting infant school.

Our rooms and invitations to play are centred the child themselves and their imagination to explore and create play from various loose parts and daily items.
We also work with the local schools and early years specialist at Nottinghamshire County Council to ensure smooth transitions from nursery to reception years.

We hope you enjoy our website and look forward to meeting you.

Warmest regards
