My daughter settled in really well, and I was impressed with the number of settling in sessions she was allocated prior to starting. She has been able to build a really strong relationship with her key worker, and will often excitedly exclaim her name on the way in, in the morning. She absolutely loves
attending the nursery, and it's nice to see her so excited about going. The team have continued to offer brilliant care throughout the pandemic, and I am aware that they have worked hard to ensure safety without compromising on the child's experience. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer any queries.

Love the care taken for kids in the nursery. Staff care and closeness to the kids. This has helped my child learn many, he started learning new words daily or weekly which surprises us, taking care of himself and others.
All the staff in the babies room I would 5/5.
And also not to forget care taken
by the staff member providing hot food.

My child has been attending this nursery for almost 4 months now. I knew he was going to have a hard time settling in given he had been home for months due to Covid situation, but the staff is so loving and warm that I am not surprised that he has a great time at the nursery now. The staff is also very
good with remembering the little things that I tell them about my child. I am also very pleased with the artwork I get to see every now and then. Overall - very happy!

The nursery is super spacious and hygiene is very well maintained. The staff are very friendly with the parents and kids; they are highly dedicated to their duty. Being sincere at discharging their duties and responsibilities towards babies and toddlers, not sure how most of the staff are at their best
energy levels at 6.00pm in the evening. I wish I’d get to learn it from them.
The activities the kids have at the nursery are very interesting and indeed builds a zeal in them to be more creative and healthy. The food menu is planned absolutely perfect as per the nutritional requirements for kids. The kid's distribution among the various rooms as per the age and the activities planned for them are apt. The communication and response from the management is super prompt. My kid chants for his nursery and the names of his key persons while in his sleep..!! He loves his nursery to that extent.
Thank you, Jack in the Box.

My son has attended the nursery for around 2 years now and is very happy with attending. The nursery have always been supportive of his needs, liaised with us to further his devils meets and been understanding of his disabled older sister who may attend pick-ups or drop-offs.
My son is always excited
when it’s his days to attend, referring to the workers by name. We are very happy with how he has progressed!

It's one of the best nurseries in Slough. I could see lots of positive changes in my son since he started going to Jack in the Box Nursery since September 2020.
Staff are very friendly and attentive to the children. They monitor the child's development, growth and provide feedback of the children
and their eating routine.
Ever since going to this nursery my sons have become more confident and communicate with other children in the nursery.
Would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

I am extremely pleased with Jack in the Box Nursery. My son progressed a lot since he started nursery, he is more sociable, enthusiastic. He is very happy to attend nursery where at the beginning he used to cry so much. The girls at the nursery are very kind and patient, very well trained. I recommend
this nursery 100%.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery, for us the friendly atmosphere makes dropping and picking up so lovely and it's obvious every day that she has had a fun-filled day. She has learnt so much in her time so far, her speech has improved massively, she has potty trained and knows more songs
than I do! I couldn't be happier with all aspects of the nursery. The staff are great!

If you consider a nursery the most important aspect is the staff, not the nurseries. The staff of Jack in the Box Nursery are all well trained and skilled but most of all caring. My son has flourished under their care.

I was told my son is learning how to write and when he went to reception he couldn't even hold a pencil.

Reply from Lee Owen-Macleod, Nursery Area Manager at Jack in the Box Nursery

The children are encouraged to handle equipment and tools effectively, including pencils for writing. The nursery support children with their pencil control ready for their transition on to school. This is evidenced by recorded observations as per the EYFS.


The child left the nursery in August, however, contact has been made to discuss this review with the parents.


The key person works in partnership with parents, and supplies resources for parents to use at home, for those children who require additional support in preparation for school or within a specific area of learning.

Our daughter had never been to any daycare so initially, she had teething problems settling in. The staff took every measure they could to ensure she was comfortable. The staff of the nursery is extremely friendly and professional and look after children just like their own. My daughter's personality
has developed so much within last few months and she is so confident, independent and friendly. I would highly recommend the nursery purely because they have hardworking and dedicated staff.
Hats off to all of them !!

My daughter has attended JITBN (Jack in the Box Nursery) since she was six months old. She is now almost three and I can see how beneficial it has been. Her social skills are great and she is now beginning to count and even tries to say the alphabet. She loves it there and the staff have always been
amazing, very caring and attentive.

My children have been attending JITB (Jack in the Box Nursery) for over 4 years in total and I have had the chance to see how staff operate in each of the different age group rooms. I have always been so pleased and so assured my children are well cared for with that extra 'home from home' touch whenever
they have attended. The staff are always so helpful and always happy to talk and discuss nursery life and development for each child and any changes or things that are happening at home which could be complemented at nursery. I am expecting my third child soon and will certainly be returning to JITB, to support me with caring for my children when I plan to return to work. Couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Jack in the Box Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.853 for Jack in the Box Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.853

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Jack in the Box Nursery is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
