The whole team at Jack & Jill are terrific; every time my son attends he is met with a cheery welcome with new activities to explore each week. We're kept up to date with his days schedule and given a summary at pick up of everything he's done that day, including what he has / hasn't eaten, sleep...
I would gladly recommend the Jack & Jill nursery.
Thank you so much for such an amazing review! It's lovely to see the teams efforts so highly thought of, I'll be sure to pass these comments on to them.

My child has been going to the nursery for nearly two years, and the progress they have made is amazing. The staff have helped my little one become a happy, confident and chatty little girl. The time, patience, care and understanding that the staff have shown not only my child but also shown us has been outstanding. When my daughter first started nursery she was dairy free due to an allergy. This was dealt with such understanding and the upmost care. I am grateful for all the staff at the nursery and we are going to miss being part of the Jack and Jill Family. I would highly recommend this nursery my friends and any potential parent.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! You will all be a miss to us too, I'll be sure to pass your kind words to the rest of the team.

My son loves coming to Jack and Jill. The staff are fantastic, friendly and caring. They feed the children varied, nutritious meals and snacks. They are supportive and helpful when approaching things like toilet training. The Tapestry app puts my mind at ease when I'm at work; staff provide updates about meals/sleep/toileting and often adorable pictures of my son taking part in fun activities! I feel like my son's speech, independence and knowledge of the world have all benefited from attending this setting. It is a safe, welcoming space that is helping my son to flourish and I'm so grateful that he goes here.
Thank you so much for your amazing review and kind words! I'll be sure to pass your comments on to the rest of the team.

My child has settled into nursery so well and had grown in confidence since attending. The staff are caring, friendly and always make us feel welcome. I really appreciate the regular updates and photos, which give me peace of mind. There are always fun activities, the nursery is clean and well equipped, and the outdoor space is fantastic. The food is great and I know my child is happy, safe and well cared for. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We couldn't be happier with Jack and Jill Nursery in Carlisle. Our son has attended since he was 10 months old and is now 2 years old, and it's been amazing to watch him grow and develop with the support of such caring and dedicated staff.

Every member of the team is kind, friendly and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. They provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where our son is always happy and excited to go each day. We've seen such a positive difference in his confidence, social skills and learning since starting at the nursery.
The activities are always fun and engaging, the nursery is clean and well organised, and communication with parents is excellent. It's reassuring knowing he's in such capable hands, and we always feel informed about his day and his progress.
We would highly recommend Jack and Jill Nursery to any parent looking for a caring, professional and welcoming nursery. Thank you to everyone for the love, care and support
It is such a rewarding role, and to get positive feedback like this, is the icing on the cake.
I will make sure the rest of the team see your comments.

Today marks an emotional milestone as my son leaves Jack and Jill Nursery at 3 years old, having been there since he was just 7 months old. From the very beginning, the team at Jack and Jill have been nothing short of incredible. I truly cannot express how grateful we are for the love, care, and dedication they've shown every single day.
They have helped shape my little baby into the polite, confident, and happy young boy he is now. The nursery is so much more than a childcare setting - it's a loving, nurturing home-from-home where children are able to grow, learn, and thrive. The staff don't just care for the children; they become part of your extended family.
I can honestly say I trust them more than anyone else with my child. Knowing he was in such capable, caring hands gave me peace of mind every day. Jack and Jill is a truly special place, and I don't think they even realise just how amazing they are.
Wow.What a beautiful and heartwarming review, thank you so, so much.I'll be sure to pass the wonderful feedback to the rest of the team.Thank you for trusting us with your precious boy and we wish you all the best in the future Emma x
Happy to recommend to anyone looking for a nursery. Thank you to all the staff there.

My daughter was at Jack and Jill Nursery for 2 years and always received excellent care and enrichment. She loves the nursery carers and has grown so much in confidence and educationally and I was confident knowing she was happy and well cared for. You can tell how much the staff care about the children and they put in so much effort to the activities with the kids and especially when celebrating special events.

Every single person is friendly; it's a real family vibe that it gives off, and even better, that you can actually talk to the person who runs the place, not just a manager type, but people who genuinely seem to care. I have talked to people who sent their kids there 30 years ago, and the family who run Jack and Jill even remember their names; it's astounding!
Our son leaves in a month due to his age; however, we love it so much that we want to send our younger daughter there.
Cannot recommend higher.
What a lovely read.
I'll be sure to pass on your kind words to the rest of the team.
As the manager, I'm genuinely touched by the acknowledgement of our efforts.
Thank you!

My child has absolutely flourished at this nursery; he loves attending here, and in the pictures I see of him doing activities, I can see how much he enjoys himself. Whenever I drop him off, he rarely says goodbye to me as he is too busy running off to play and have the best time! He has learned so much from being here, and I fully credit that to the amazing staff that looks after him!

This nursery feels like a home away from home to our daughter. It's such a welcoming and caring space. The staff and the management are always trying to build a great rapport with us parents, and they frequently make us feel that our child is in safe hands. The dedication and love that the staff have towards the children are clear, and I can say that my daughter has a big smile on her face from the morning to when we pick her up in the afternoon. I am extremely grateful to each one of the professionals working there. Working with children previously, I understand that it's not an easy job, so seeing the amazing and impeccable work they do every day is something that should be appreciated constantly. Another great characteristic is that English is not my first language, and the nursery tries its best to include my language and culture in my daughter's routine. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.
We truly try to capture the home-from-home experience in our family home.
I will certainly pass on such lovely words to the rest of the team; they will be really touched by your testimony of their care.
Very friendly staff and the service is always amazing here. My daughter has been going for 8 months and is always very excited and happy in the morning to go in when she sees the staff. Thank you all for your hard work.

Great nursery! Our daughter loves it and really looks forward to going. Very reassuring to know that she is spending the day learning across a wide range of activities and being cared for by such lovely staff.

Fantastic nursery, reassuring staff, it was a daunting experience putting my 6 month old in a nursery so young. They made me feel reassured, excellent.

Absolutely fabulous nursery in every way. Home from home with brilliant staff. We have used Jack and Jills for a couple of years now as my youngest son attends, as did our older son before he started school. It will be a sad day when we have to leave Jack and Jills.

It will be a sad day when we have no more of your children within the setting, an end of an era.
I will be sure to pass on your lovely review to the rest of the team.
Many thanks, Emma.

My son has been going for two days a week at Jack & Jill Nursery since he was six months old (he's now two) and he loves his time at nursery (he also loves the food there). I am so thankful to all the staff and all their hard work. I felt I could trust the staff completely with my son from the start. They are so caring to the children and have always been so good at letting me know how the day has gone and how my son is developing. They have also always been good at letting me know of any changes happening regarding staff changing, etc. I really appreciate all the activities my son does there that he wouldn't necessarily do at home and how beneficial the nursery environment has been for his social skills and development.
It's lovely to know our hard work and passion is recognised.
I will be sure to pass on your lively comments to all staff.
Caring and friendly staff who go above and beyond for your child. I have always been fully informed about everything that happens at nursery and have never had a concern. Includes parents in every step of learning. My daughter loves the staff and regularly speaks about them to family. Thank you...

I couldn’t recommend them more. All the staff go out of their way for you and are friendly and welcoming every day.
I wouldn’t want my son to go anywhere else. They are amazing.

Thanks for your fab review Amy!
Giving parents and carers the confidence in leaving their little ones is something we strive for every day so knowing you're both getting a warm and friendly welcome to start the day is exactly what we're about.
I'll be passing your lovely comments on to the rest of the team.
