  • Jack and Jill Day Nursery, Corfe Mullen, Wimborne Minster
Providing quality care since 1970, Jack and Jill Day Nursery is open year-round, welcoming children aged from 3 months to 5 years. Jack and Jill is a happy and caring nursery where children can flourish. By providing a positive environment with lots of engaging activities, Jack and Jill ensures that every child is happy, confident and bursting with enthusiasm; ready to take on the challenges of school life and a whole new world of learning.

Jack and Jill is located in the centre of Corfe Mullen village, just 1 mile from Broadstone and 3 miles from Wimborne and Upton. There is a carpark for drop-off and collection. The nursery was recently refurbished and is light, bright and spacious. The nursery has dedicated rooms for babies, toddlers and pre-school children.

Outdoor play and learning are particularly important at Jack and Jill and the children go outside as much as possible, whatever the weather! There are 2 gardens, playgrounds and all the children have free flow access outdoors. Both gardens offer a fantastic range of activities including digging and planting, mud kitchen, water station, sand pits, story corner, and lots of physical activities to help with their co-ordination and development such as balancing beams, trikes and ball games.

The Nursery also has a pet guinea pig (Pickles) to teach the children about caring for animals.

SEN is extremely important at Jack and Jill and the staff and SENCO are highly trained in recognising and supporting many different emerging needs. Each child is treated as an individual and will have a personal plan ensuring their unique needs are being met and allowing them to develop at their own pace.

The staff at Jack and Jill are caring, passionate and well-qualified (including paediatric first aid for all staff members). They'd love to invite you to come and look around!

Professional and approachable staff in a nursery with a fantastic atmosphere. My son really looks forward to the days he attends Jack and Jill and I can't fault the staff. Since my son has been at the nursery, they have invested into upgrading their garden which is brilliant, most days weather dependent,
my son enjoys time in the garden.

My girls enjoy the nursery and tell me about their friends and their activities with enthusiasm. The topics that are covered the girls discuss at home. The staff are approachable and take pride in their job, the children and the nursery.

Jack and Jill is a lovely nursery setting, my son attends every day and really looks forward to it. He has made so many friends and gets on very well with all staff members too.
His confidence has improved significantly since he started and he always brings things home that he makes or tells us about
what activities or cooking he's been doing.
I really like how all of the play and learning zones are arranged and the staff are always so friendly and understanding towards individual needs. Also, they are very good at keeping parents updated with various subjects they are concentrating on and sending newsletters etc...
I genuinely feel like my child is as happy, safe and cared for at Jack and Jill as if he were in my care.
I know my son will really miss going here when he starts school and I will definitely be choosing Jack and Jill for my next child!

My son has been attending Jack and Jill's since September 2016. My son settled quickly and loves going there. He had gained so much from the time he has spent there. Aside from all the usual qualities e.g. feeling safe, a lovely environment, good facilities, the thing that makes this nursery stand
out above others is the staff. They are so friendly, helpful and supportive. They provide a varied selection of fun activities designed to focus on each area of development. They encourage the children to take part in all activities. They are also great at realising a child's own interests or strengths and build or adapt activities to suit these. My son has been extremely happy here and always talks enthusiastically about the things he does. A great nursery!

Since changing nursery setting and sending my little boy to Jack and Jills his confidence has grown immensely. His speech has also come on leaps and bounds.
The staff are warm and friendly and my little boy is very comfortable around them, which makes it easy to leave him knowing how happy and safe
he is in the setting.
I recommend this nursery to everyone looking for a nursery in this area.

A fantastic nursery with wonderful facilities and staff. There is a vast amount of activities for your child to engage in, learn and grow. Both of my children have attended the setting, one still currently there, and they have both had great experiences. The staff are warm and friendly, the management
are fantastic. I would recommend to anyone.

My daughter has only been attending Jack and Jill for around 6 weeks but she has already settled in extremely well. The staff went above and beyond to make her feel welcome and always seem to be very interactive with all the children.
My daughter always comes home and tells us about the fun things
she has learnt/played with which is always lovely to hear. I want to say a big thank you to all the Jack and Jill staff, you do a great job!

My granddaughter started at Jack and Jill very recently and she absolutely loves it.
The staff are caring and encouraging and have enabled her to settle in with remarkable ease.
My granddaughter has made several little friends and, as an only child, this has been an important aspect of her time there.
The
facilities are superb and the opportunities given throughout the morning are second to none. My granddaughter is full of excitement when she is collected at the end of her sessions and loves to tell us all what she's been up to. We've frequently heard new songs she's learned and new activities she's done.
I can't recommend this nursery highly enough.

I have been extremely happy with my daughters care, and have seen her come on leaps and bounds since attending Jack and Jills. The staff are helpful and will always make sure they let you know what my little one has been up to during the session. My daughter enjoyed it from the start and I know she
will miss it and all the staff when she starts school in September.

Exceptionally professional childcare. The staff are very competent and have my child's best interests at heart, they take an active interest in her social and emotional learning and well being, as well as subtly preparing her for her transition into school. This is a fantastic setting, I visited a
lot of nurseries and felt that 'Jack and Jill's' honestly nurture my child as opposed to just supervising children. I can wholeheartedly recommend 'Jack and Jill's' to any parent.

I am very impressed with the quality of childcare my daughter has at Jack and Jill, she comes home happy after every session and she does a lot of outdoor and messy play which she absolutely loves. She started in March 2016 and has settled really well here.

My son has only been to four sessions so far, he started 2 days after his second birthday and the staff have made every effort to make sure my son enjoys his time at nursery. He has settled in really well and although he cries when I leave, he has a fantastic time while he is there and is happy when
he is home. The staff are helpful and welcoming and answer my questions regarding my son's time at each session. So far I am very pleased with my son's time at nursery and how he is doing while he is there.

I moved my daughter here in January, as we had moved house, she always had problems settling in her previous nursery but settled here lovely and never had any tears or issues. Staff are very friendly and caring and great amount of space, my daughter loves the outdoor space, especially the mud kitchen!!!!
It's a really lovely nursery, I just wish we found this before.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10 for Jack and Jill Day Nursery, Corfe Mullen is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.977 for Jack and Jill Day Nursery, Corfe Mullen is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.977

  • 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 and Jill Day Nursery, Corfe Mullen is based on 18 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 18 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.
