About us

Jollytots was formed in 1991 by Annabel Green, and has since grown into a very popular setting. Our team is made up of hard-working individuals who have a passion for childcare. Each is registered through OFSTED with the appropriate DBS checks.

Members of staff attend courses such as first aid and safe guarding to further their knowledge and understanding. We understand how difficult it can be leaving your child at Jollytots and therefore the settling-in period is just as important for the parent as it is for the child, in order to get to know the Jollytots team and setting.

Under OFSTED requirements, our setting is licenced to have 9 children, of which only 3 can be under a year. It is our responsibility to provide high quality childcare, whilst also following the guidelines set out in the Statutory Framework and Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). In order to achieve this, we carry out daily observations seeking to prove the child’s continued development within the seven areas of learning.

Seven areas of learning


Communication and language



Physical development



Personal, social and emotional development



Understanding of the world



Expressive arts and design



Mathematics



Literacy



Every week, we carefully plan an enriching curriculum which seeks to support every individual child according to their own age, stage and ability.

Our Facilities

Within our setting we have extensive resources which support both the child’s interests and developmental needs. Part of our garden is under-cover which allows us the luxury of exploring the outside world all year round. The garden is well stocked and is suitable for all ages- items such as the tuft table provide the children with new experiences which they may not otherwise have the opportunity to explore. The main play area is bright and airy with items such as a real-world kitchen and shop, encouraging social interaction between peers. There are 9 cots placed around the house away from the main playroom to encourage deeper sleep. Each baby is given their own highchair, whilst the older children sit on a small table and chairs.”
