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.

If staff need anything to make your child's day easier they let you know and allow you to even bring your nut free snack for your child's if they don't eat what they give. Overall I'm happy and hope this continues. Special thank you to Samina, Lea and Muna. You're all lovely

Jack in the Box has an excellent team. Our daughter had 2 weeks of induction where she was able to attend a few hours a day. This has made her settle really well and enjoy being at the nursery. Her milk allergy was really respected and supported. In a recent day our daughter had some fever and the...

My son's nursery has been a wonderful place for his early development, and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, always making sure each child feels safe, valued, and supported. From the moment we walk in, there is a warm and...
I've noticed a huge improvement in my son's confidence, communication, and social skills since he started attending. The nursery provides a great balance of learning and play, with engaging activities that encourage creativity, curiosity, and independence. The staff also keep me well-informed about his progress, daily activities, and any important updates, which I really appreciate.
Cleanliness and safety are clearly a top priority, and the environment is always well-organised and child-friendly. It's comforting to know that my son is in a secure place where his wellbeing comes first. this nursery has exceeded my expectations

The management team have been incredibly helpful and responsive & the nursery staff are approachable. Whenever we've had a concern they've been quick to pick up the phone and have a real conversation. That personal touch has made a big difference in how supported we feel as parents.
They've been very accommodating of our family's needs. We have a long commute home & the staff have kindly built a routine to help prepare our son for pick-up time. It's that attention to detail and willingness to work with us that we really value.
The staff are friendly & positive, and it's lovely that even those from other rooms know our son's name. It's clear there's great collaboration and care across the whole nursery. We feel our son is in safe, nurturing hands and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jack in the Box to others!

Both of our sons attend the nursery. Our elder son first started in Piglets when he was 2.5yrs coming from another nursery which closed down. It was a very quick settling in for him and high five to all his key workers and team who made him so comfortable. He has some mild allergies and the nursery accommodated to his diet and skincare without any hesitation. It reassured us as parents.
Our youngest son who is now 10months just started in Babies room and it was a no brainer decision which nursery he would go to after my return to work. By coincidence, he also had the same keyworker which our elder son had upon start and big kudos to making sure our child was well looked after.
Management Team are always on point with communication and they welcome feedback constructively. We do not hesitate to contact them as they are our safebase :)

Initially, my oldest daughter started off with Jack in the box nursery in 2023 they were very welcoming and very patient with her. She was a bit tentative to begin with, but they made her feel at ease through the initial few weeks. After the success of my eldest Who is now three years old a few months ago we put our youngest who is one years old into the nursery this is a testament to the experience of our eldest child and the service and care we have received. I would recommend Jack-in-the-Box to all those in the local area.

Both my daughters attend this nursery, I am very happy with their development and overall happiness. The elder of the two has a strong bond with her key worker and it's reassuring to know she's cared for beyond the standard. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking to send their little ones in.
It's a Berkshire Healthcare nursery which provides additional assurance to the standards they keep - It's always clean and tidy (somehow!).
There's a range of staff that have been consistently there, all of which are incredibly engaging. I have not seen much of a revolving door other than Maternity leave which is positive. The nursery manager is such an asset, always responsive and present.
The fee rates are competitive, and despite slight increases in the last 2 years, I have not thought for a moment to look elsewhere.
5 stars for the whole team from me.

My child just started nursery in January and so far I am happy with everything. The team is friendly and caring. They are assessing how the child is settling and what progress they are and also a great thing is that they give you feedback on how the child did for the day. They set the goals for the child in agreement with the parent and they try to complete children's milestones by guiding them.
Thank you very much for your 5 star review. It's lovely to hear how happy you are with the service and care offered by the Jack In The Box team, both to you and your child. It has been a pleasure to care for your child and to watch her settling into nursery life.
Absolutely brilliant! Had a wonderful experience with my 1st, my 2nd is now in pre-school, getting ready to start reception in September. Very professional, friendly staff, the management is extremely supportive!

Thank you so much for your review. It has been a pleasure to care for both of your children, we can hardly believe that your child will be going to school this year! Thank you for your comments regarding our staff team, it is lovely to hear how positive your experience has been.

My son joined Jack in the Box when he was just 11 months old and is sadly leaving after 2 and a half years. The EYFS environment of the nursery has been invaluable in his early development. As first time parents, it was scary to send our baby to a nursery, but the baby room staff were amazing in putting our minds at ease, special mention to one staff member in particular, as she was the first ever person we talked to and finalised our decision of enrolling. It has been smooth ever since, our son loves going here and has made special friendships with his teachers and classmates. All the nursery staff works very hard all day with kids, and when the parents come to pick up, they make sure the parents also are emotionally taken care of, which is one of the best things here.

There aren't enough words to describe how absolutely amazing Jack in the Box Nursery is. From day one, the support they have given my son has been extraordinary. He was just over 1 year old when he started, and the staff ensured he settled in fantastically, doing everything they could to make him...
As my son prepares to start school in Sept, I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey we've had with the nursery. Without their support, my son wouldn't be where he is today. He has additional needs, and the nursery has gone above and beyond to ensure he is included, his needs are met, he thrives, and is generally well looked after.
Jack in the Box Nursery doesn't just support my son-they support our whole family. While I am excited about my son's new chapter at school, it is with great sadness that we leave the nursery.
Enrolling him at Jack in the Box Nursery was the best decision we ever made for our son.
