Over 150 former Jelly Babies friends and family attended the nursery’s 20th anniversary party for fun and frolics, on Saturday 25th August at Weymouth College, between 11am-3pm. Activities included a bouncy castle, entertainment from Captain Stupid; name the bear, a raffle, a yummy food and music from ‘DeepFried Bananas.’
Nursery Supervisor, Nicky Randell welcomed everyone who had attended to the party: “Looking at the photos of the years gone by has been lovely. The ever changing hair styles have made us laugh; but it’s been lovely remembering all the good times. So many children have grown up and are making lives of their own now.”
Nicky continued: “The success of Jelly Babies always has and always will be down to an amazing team. The current staff are absolutely brilliant and this has been recognised over the last year by Ofsted who awarded Jelly Babies with an ‘OUTSTANDING’ Ofsted grade. We are all very proud of this achievement and plan to continue to grow, develop and create exciting opportunities for the children to play and learn in an outstanding provision. Here’s to the next 20 Years!”
The Outstanding Ofsted report stated; “Staff at Jelly Babies demonstrate an exceptional commitment to working in partnership with parents and provide comprehensive opportunities for parents to become involved in the life of the nursery. The manager and professional staff team provide an environment which is not only welcoming to children but encourages children to explore the interesting and exciting activities on offer. All staff have an excellent understanding of their responsibility to safeguard children and do so effectively.”
Special thanks went to Deep Friend Bananas for providing a fantastic musical atmosphere free of charge for the party and to Brian: Captain Stupid for providing colourful magic, balloon modelling and glove puppetry.
