Information about the School

Jelly Beans Montessori Nursery is situated in a Catholic Church building in Southend Road, Hockley. It is a privately run Christian day Nursery which accepts children of all faiths (or none).

For children aged 0-3 years, the Nursery operates from two large rooms, with an adjacent enclosed and secure garden and forest school which the children can use throughout the year. Operating since 2004, the Nursery is a popular day care option for babies and toddlers, as well as a useful holiday club venue for working parents.

Jelly Beans also have two Pre-Schools within Hockley, one based at the Plumberow Primary Academy and one based at Hockley Primary Academy.

Behind its success is the vision of founder Sarah Drummond, a dedicated Montessori practitioner, who remains actively involved in the day-to-day running of Jelly Beans.
