The best childminder you could wish for, and more.
Becky at Jellybeans is a real life angel. I will be eternally grateful for the care, love, joy and enjoyment she showered my son with.
Becky was my son’s childminder from baby (only months old) right up until he started full time Reception at school. I write this review on the second school term of the year, and there is not one week that goes by that he doesn’t ask “please can I go to see Becky”. My son adored his days with his childminder, and built an amazing bond with both Becky and her husband. They will always hold a special place in our hearts.
My son grew, learned and developed leaps and bounds thanks to the quality of care provided and he is growing to be such a clever, polite (and super cheeky) boy and a lot of this is down to the quality of care he received at Jellybeans. The setting is lovely and small, so you know your child will have plenty of time focused solely on them or in a little group, and you feel at ease knowing they won’t get lost amongst a big crowd of children. The smaller more personal setting was a huge perk for me and it is probably why my son and Becky have that unbreakable bond. I honestly felt like I was dropping my child off at a relatives house for the day, as in the end it felt like a family.
Outside of the setting there were plenty additional activities for the children. The garden area speaks for itself, with swings, climbing frame, mud kitchen and floor level trampoline. Additionally there were little trips out to soft play for example, or walks/adventures which were always the most enjoyable and very often came at no additional cost. & Vinnie was ALWAYS coming home with gorgeous home made baking, or arts and craft projects that they’d been busy making in the day (the flapjack was a firm favourite in our house).
To summarise:
• The prices are amazing
• The people are even more amazing
• The setting is personal
• There’s plenty to keep the little ones busy
• You will not be disappointed, in fact you’ll cry when it’s over
