How funded hours are applied:
15 hours funding (11 free hours per week): 5.5 free hours on two days a week, between 9.30am and 3.00pm. The rest of those two days, and any further days, are charged at the nursery's hourly or daily rate.
30 hours funding (22 free hours per week): 7.5 free hours on two days (9.00am–4.30pm) and 7 free hours on a third day (9.00am–4.00pm). The rest of those days, and any further days, are charged. Children need to attend at least three days a week to receive the full 22 hours. Two days' attendance gives 15 free hours.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 7.5 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

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.

Thank you so much Senta. We really appreciate your positive feedback.

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!
Thank you for your feedback Bethany. We're glad that you and your daughter are enjoying nursery life.
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.

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.
Excellent service with due care of the child.
Prompt attention to the issues raised by management and the staff are well educated and know their duties well.

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...
Hats off to all of them !!
Very happy with the care and attention to detail that the nursery has with the children and in relation to the parents. The girls in the baby room are lovely and really helpful.

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.
Wonderful atmosphere, both of my children have enjoyed being there. Lovely staff, great learning. Would recommend this nursery to anyone!

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.
My Mother highly recommends Jack in the Box Nursery. My daughter has almost grown up there. Very friendly and approachable staff and management. She still follows manners she has learned from the nursery. Thank you.

My daughter has become so much more confident and outgoing since starting nursery at 11 months old took a long time to settle but all the staff were so helpful and knew how to help her settle, she was an extremely clingy baby. Now she loves nursery and always looks forward to going and seeing the staff and her friends, the staff are all outstanding.
The baby room staff are extremely caring and helpful. My son settled in very well which was only possible because of the interaction the staff had with him. They observed what his favourite toys were and would mention those toys during drop offs which distracted him and made drop off much easier.

My older child has attended the nursery since she was a baby. We were so happy with the nursery that we decided to send our younger child too, although it is quite far from home. The staff are fantastic, every day I get feedback on my child's day and we discuss any issues such as behaviour to keep continuity at home and in nursery. My child is cared for well and looks forward to going in every day. I highly recommend this nursery.
We have sent three of our children here over the years. Have always found the nursery to be warm and welcoming. Lots of committed and long term staff (which is a positive reflection in itself). Would highly recommend the nursery to any prospective parents.

Our daughter has been at the nursery since she was 6 months old (she's almost 2 now) and she loves it! We also feel very pleased with the quality of care at JiTB. We both work in education and are very aware of how important a safe and stimulating environment is and the staff at JiTB are amazing!
