This is a lovely setting that has welcomed my child with open arms. The staff always provide a handover when collecting my child which is lovely as it gives me an insight to their day. All the staff are friendly and my child seems very happy when going in.

Overall Experience

My girl started when she was 13 months and I was really stressed as she is a high-need clingy baby, who didn't nap alone, only with another person, only at home, in complete silence and darkness. However, she adjusted really well and the staff in Snowflakes and now in Raindrops have been wonderful and

really helpful. If you ask for something they will accommodate you as much as they can. At first we received a notebook with all notes from nursery detailing: what she ate, how much and what times; did she nap, what time and how long; account of nappies and their content; list of activities during the day and all this was communicated to us when collecting her. Now (two years old) we get almost the same information via a parent app (even better), so while I work I can go to the app and see what my little one has been up to. It is all very reassuring and comforting. They also have very good email newsletter and communications.

Overall Experience

Both my sons have attended Jack & Jill's Day Nursery. My eldest was there for a year before moving on to primary school. My youngest has now been there 18 months and has another 18 months before he moves on to Primary. My eldest goes back regularly in the holidays for holiday club and he absolutely

loves seeing his teacher's faces again and spending time there.
My youngest is happy to go in every day and always comes home with a smile on his face. Having the updates on the blossom app every day is super helpful and nice to see while they are in nursery.
This nursery has always been accommodating to us and tried their best to do last minute changes and swap days and fit us in to help out and I am super grateful for that. It's also set on such a beautiful bit of land which the kid's love and has lots of parking which is easy! The pricing is very reasonable as well. Any concerns I've ever had have been actioned immediately and overall I am really happy with my boys being here! Thank you guys.

Overall Experience

I found here at Jack & Jill's Day Nursery the support and comfort that I never thought I could find at a nursery. They have a great team in every room. They did a great job on helping my little one to adapt to nursery, and most important to love going there. They do great activities with the kids, always

creatively keeping them busy and happy.
The team is always responsive to any requests I might have and is a great deal to count on their support. As we don't have any other help with childcare, is a relief to count on this nursery and is an absolute blessing to know that my little one is in the best hands.
High standard of cleanliness, the nursery is bright and colourful, as soon as I entered it gave me the peaceful impression and warmth that I expect and very importantly, the staff are extremely welcoming, which makes a big difference.
I would love to mention one staff member who did a great job with my little one, for which the nursery is called by her name by our little one. Three others are simply amazing.

Overall Experience

Initially I viewed around ten nurseries in the surrounding area and Jack & Jill's Day Nursery gave me a comforting and warm welcome. I choose this nursery for my child and to this day, two years after, I have not regretted my decision. The staff in this nursery are absolutely amazing, my child adapted

quite quickly and tells me every day that he loves his nursery and his teachers, even the ones in the office and dinner room. They care about the children and treat them as individuals, they understand when children are not themselves and are very attentive. The only fault I see is that the nursery grounds can do with a revamp, but this does not affect the care and service you get from this nursery.

My daughter has only been at Jack and Jill's for 6 months, but the amount she has thrived during her time there is unbelievable. The staff are so kind, friendly and helpful that I have no concerns whilst my daughter is at nursery. Her language, knowledge and communication skills have developed so much

and enjoyed watching her repeat songs and skills she has learnt whilst at nursery. Thank you to all the staff at Jack and Jills.

Overall Experience

After viewing countless nurseries, we knew Jack & Jill's was the one for us after our first visit. Staff immediately took time to, not only make us feel comfortable but, most importantly our son. Being only 9 months old and a very clingy baby, I was extremely worried about returning to work full time.

The staff not only understood my worries but managed to give my son an environment he felt comfortable staying and more than adequate care while I'm away. Not only does he not cry while I'm away, he is full of smiles! I couldn't recommend this nursery anymore and want to thank every staff member for their amazing work!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery now for over 18 months and absolutely loves it. She has achieved so much in her time spent there. Each week she seems to grow into a brighter young lady and the staff have a huge influence on this.
Each morning she wakes up excited to go and learn/play.
The

staff are wonderful, they take so much care of the children and encourage them in everything (big or small) that they do. Highly recommended!

Overall Experience

We knew Jack and Jill's was the right place for our little boy from the second we stepped into the setting. Such a warm and welcoming place and such lovely ladies caring for the little ones and helping them discover the world through play and exploring.

He has been there for a few months now and

all I can say is I could have never found a better place for him.

The Holiday Club is so helpful as my older girl can go there in the holidays and she has so much fun that picking her up is a mission (she wants to stay there).

All in all I can definitely say I found the best setting for our kids and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Thank you lovely team at Jack and Jill's. We love you!

Lovely, welcoming staff who have excellent knowledge of children. Lots of activities for children to engage with craft, sensory activities and outdoor time are frequent and enjoyable to children. Staff make detailed notes on children's development and are keen to share the events of the day. My twins

are almost two and have grown quite attached to their carers. Can not recommend Jack and Jill's enough to prospective parents.

I am sure my story is familiar for most of you reading this review, making the big decision of which nursery to choose. I had to go back to work when my baby was 10 weeks old. I felt guilty leaving my adorable baby with people who I did not know and I have to say, I made the right choice with Jack &

Jill's Day Nursery. My cure daughter gets the best care possible, she is pampered, being loved and she is taken care of in an amazing, loving way. She absolutely loves her nanny and all who look after her. I can only recommend Jack & Jill's Day Nursery to all. Many thanks for the loving care.

Thank you for all you have done for our daughter and us as a family. The carers did just that and more, they cared, they gave me confidence that she was well looked after and her needs were met. They helped her confidence grow in all areas which show when she is working something out, either on paper,

in the room or with her friends. We will always remember Jack and Jill's and the amazing staff and everything they did for us while she was in their care. Treasured memories that last forever.

Overall Experience

In my opinion this nursery is by far one of the best in this area.
Both my children have attended this nursery and words cannot explain how happy they and I have been here over the years.
The care they provide is amazing, going to work and leaving my child with them is great peace of mind.
Everyday

I am amazed with all the new things my child has learnt and done. English being our second language has never been an issue and 3 years on my daughter speaks excellently.
The staff really do an excellent choice of activities for the children.
The garden is fully equipped for children to play and enjoy. Perfect all year round.
My kids were not very good eaters, thanks to the staff at Jack and Jill's they now like to eat almost everything, their choice of menus is very good.

I brought my kids here on recommendation and I can honestly say I would recommend this nursery to all working & non working families. The most important thing to us is our children so finding the right childcare is important.. You will not be disappointed.

My two very precious grandsons attend Jack and Jill's - and have done since very young babies. The staff are very loving, caring towards all the children they care for and they all work extremely hard to ensure all the children have a wonderful time. The care they both receive has been superb, they

are always happy to see the carers looking after them, their friends as well as taking part in lots of exciting activities which are always on offer.

Overall Experience

I was recommended Jack & Jills by my mum's work colleague as I was new to the area. There were multiple reasons I looked into the nursery further, not only was the location great for us, but they also offer term time only contracts which is fantastic as my husband is a teacher. Even after an increase

in rates (the first in 4 years), the nursery remains excellent value for money. My son has come on leaps and bounds since he started a year ago, and all the staff have been fantastic, even those who aren't in his room (as he does like to make himself known!). The outside garden areas are really big so no shortage of space for the kids to play and I love that the staff ensure children get fresh air and outdoor time at all times of the year. Made a great choice in sending my son to Jack & Jills. Can tell he loves it there as he doesn't want to leave! Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work.
