Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School is a fantastic pre-school. My little one settled in really well. The teachers are amazing and always available if you need them. The children learn so much. The outdoor activities are really good as children still need to be children and this pre-school lets them by making
leading fun. Would not choose a different pre-school and would definitely recommend to everyone.

My son only started Jumping Jellybeans in January and what can I say, he has learnt so much in just 1 month! The previous nursery my son went to wasn't 100%. It was as if he lost all confidence there and personally I didn't see him learning anything either. Since he has been here he has gained all of
his confidence and he is back to being the bubbly, friendly, caring little boy I know! I can't rate this nursery enough and I'm so thankful for everything you have done in only 1 month. I'm looking forward to watching my little boy grow and learn with you all! 5****

Our little one loves Jumping Jellybeans and her teachers are her best friends. Her main one in particular and our little one wants to share all her home activities with her too.
If any worries I feel I can talk and message so we work as a team.
Thank them all for this. It will be sad when school starts
this year to say goodbye until her sister starts the following year.
Reply from Debbie Southern, Manager at Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School
Thank you for your review. We very much look forward to caring for your little ones' sister and watching her grow. It will be our pleasure.

This is the second year my daughter has been to Jumping Jellybeans and I wouldn't put her anywhere else. The range of activities and resources they have available to support children to achieve their next steps are brilliant. All staff members are lovely and are always welcoming. As a nursery worker
myself and working in many settings, this setting is by far the best if the hours they offer suit your needs.

Being a working mum can be really hard but having a setting where you feel your child is loved, respected and valued makes life so much easier.


Our daughter's interests, thoughts, feelings and abilities are always taken into account and she thoroughly enjoys going to preschool.


Staff are clearly

highly qualified and experienced this shows in all aspects of practice.


Although Jellybeans isn't a purpose built setting it is clear that staff always make the best of what they have when it comes to the environment. Activities are always inviting and exciting. Our daughter loves forest school and often takes us on forest school routes when on family walks.


Comment from our daughter "I love our posh table decorations, I feel good when I'm at preschool because I like school!"

My son attended Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School for all of his nursery years, then my daughter joined him and is still currently there. I could not trust anyone as much as I trust the Jumping Jellybeans staff with my children. I will be extremely sad come July when my 4 years of seeing the friendly faces
of everyone there finishes. Couldn't have asked for a better setting for my children to learn, grow and have copious amounts of fun.

My child loves her time with Jumping Jellybeans. She gets to have fun whilst learning something new with her friends. They always encourage little ones to try things for themselves and because of this, my little one has come a long way. It will be a sad day when she leaves to go to big school.

Excellent playgroup couldn't have picked a better one for my daughter to go to. She was lacking confidence but thanks to the amazing staff and especially the manager, my daughter's confidence has grown and she is doing amazing at playgroup.
I'm very proud of my daughter and what she has achieved so
far. I feel as though she will be more than ready for school next year in September. We will both really miss everyone at Jumping Jellybeans when it comes to us leaving. I highly recommend this playgroup to anyone wanting to put their child into a loving caring playgroup.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children have been to Jellybeans preschool and both settled in straight away. My nearly 7-year-old son still has fond memories of it.
It's the little touches like graduation ceremony for children upon leaving and a DVD of photo's of my child's time there when they leave which I love.
Jellybeans
staff support in gaining children's confidence, support in learning but also allow them to have lots of outdoor/indoor play activities which is so important in a child's development. Highly recommended.

Love this nursery would not see my children anywhere else. Friendly staff that helped my children settle, the knowledge my little boy left with was unreal, helped him massively to begin school. My little girl was a little different settling but now doesn't like leaving and calls the teachers her friends,
thank you all for the time you have given to them both. You are all amazing.

Thank you for your kind words. It's nice to know that your daughter regards us as her friends.

The staff at Jellybeans are incredible, the way they interacted with my son and all the great activities they do. If my son shows an interest in something they'll encourage him to explore it. I moved my son here after a not so good start at a different preschool, and wow what a difference. He looks
forward to going to Jellybeans every time.
Can't recommend them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This setting is fab. I viewed all pre schools and nurseries in Canford Heath before starting my daughter two years ago on her second birthday. This one was by far the best. The staff are welcoming, the setting is in a rented hall which is set up and packed away each day. This allows the children to
have a different set up of toys/learning tools each day. There is a free flow area, a quiet room and sleep area, a fab enclosed garden area. The setting is close to the heathland which is amazing for outdoor activities and learning. There is a real community and family feel to the school due to the owner taking pride in her business and her clients. Every child is important and no child is just a £1 sign.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.688)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.688) out of 10 for Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.988 for Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.988
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Jumping Jellybeans Pre-School is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 number of registered child places is 5.6, which has been reached with 7 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
