Our first site started in 2005 in Bean village situated just a short distance from Bluewater shopping centre, Dartford and Greenhithe. Jumping Beans is a small community pre-school situated in the youth & community hall in the main High Street of Bean village. The hall has good disabled access and facilities. We are Ofsted registered and cater for up to 35 children at Bean in a single session, aged from 2 to 5 years of age. Our aims are to provide children the opportunity to learn and develop whilst playing and having fun. We are also registered with the Kent Early Years, as well as being a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance, which provides advice, mediation and training opportunities for staff, volunteers and parents. Our Ofsted inspection was “good” over all areas, and in 2007 we were awarded "Best in Practice” and the managers, Karen and Allison, the title of “Leading Early Years Practitioners”.
