Jubilee Day Nursery was recommended to us by my sister who has 3 children at the nursery. Our twins now attend the nursery and they absolutely love going into their class in the mornings. They're so excited to see their friends and staff. The staff are so kind and really encourage the children's independence.
They are constantly finding new ways to entertain the kids, including cooking, crafts and a dance studio. Our twins love their visits to see the animals on the farm and quite often have spent all day outside playing in the garden. We will be sad when they have to leave.

If you are looking for the best nursery in West Berkshire then look no further!


The staff at Jubilee are amazing and the childcare is the best. They really do take the time to get to know your child and their family and understand their likes and dislikes. They have so much to offer children and

have the added advantage of their own private woodland and animals which provides hours of outdoor fun and activities. My Daughter has been at Jubilee since she was 2 and she absolutely loves it and she adores the 'teachers' too.


The Nursery is clean and well looked after and the food is varied and balanced with the menu changing regularly. The gardens have lots of outdoor play equipment and themed areas for the children to play in!


Sadly my daughter is only there for another month before she goes to 'Big School' and we will miss Jubilee and the staff so much but the Nursery has the added bonus of having their separate holiday club 'Jubilee Jets', so we will be back for sure!!


Jubilee is not the cheapest Nursery but you get what you pay for as they say and I can assure you it is worth every single penny!


Please dont take my word for it - go and see for yourself how great Jubilee is!

My eldest son started in 2012 and right from the start he was having fun every day.


As with all children he loves the outdoors and Jubilee, which is set in a private farm with several fields and paddocks (it even has its own forest!) is the perfect environment for him. There are chickens, pigs,

donkeys, sheep, goats and even a tortoise called Terry and when they aren't looking after them they're in the sensory garden growing fruit and vegetables.


Now that my eldest is about to go to primary school the staff at Jubilee have been working really hard to prepare him, not only with learning (phonics, reading, numeracy etc) but also with his confidence. When school popped up on his radar he naturally fearful but with the help of the excellent staff he is now raring to go!


My youngest (and last!) son is also at Jubilee now and is following in his brother's footsteps and having the best time too.


Highly recommended!

Our daughter has been very happy at Jubilee since October 2013 and we would not hesitate to recommend it - it was recommended to us by 3 other sets of parents. When we chose Jubilee, we visited 2 other local nurseries, but the decision was not at all difficult. Jubilee has the most wonderful outdoor
space, with access to animals.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.060)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.060) out of 10 for Jubilee Day 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.875 for Jubilee Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.875

  • 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 3.185 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Jubilee Day Nursery is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 168 number of registered child places is 33.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 33.6 = 0.06

  • 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.

Having only ever worked within the Early Years Sector, I have many years of experience working with children and see my vocation as a real privilege. My 20-year career at Jubilee has seen me progress from a nursery nurse to the position I am proud to hold today.


I am proud to lead a highly skilled and enthusiastic team of early-year practitioners who provide high-quality teaching and deliver a vast range of learning experiences. I have a passion for guiding and training the team to achieve great things for all the children in our care.


Over the years, I have had inspiration from many different learning approaches which have been embedded into our Early Years Curriculum, recently achieving an ‘Outstanding’ result from our latest Ofsted inspection at one of our Jubilee sites!


I feel honoured that parents give Jubilee Daycare the opportunity to care for their children and as a team, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional learning opportunities and unique Early Years experiences.

For as long as I can remember I’ve been caring for children; there was no other vocation for me. My 40-year career has spanned experience as a private nanny, and nursery nurse and spending the last 22 years as Jubilee Day Nursery’s Manager.


I am now using my years of knowledge and experience to focus on our children’s and staff’s well-being within our setting.


Overall well-being is essential to a child’s development;


- I have always believed that the outdoors is the best environment for children to play and learn. I passionately foster Jubilee’s great love of the outdoors, using our amazing rural setting to help me deliver overall well-being experiences for all the children in our care.


- Delivering yoga, meditation and mindfulness sessions, promoting healthy, confident minds introducing our pre-schoolers to team and structured sports, and promoting physical activity and teamwork.


The children are at the centre of all that we do and we strive to make these precious years a truly wonderful experience.
