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.
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!

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 10 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.

Both my boys attend Jack and Jills, one is a full day with half days thrown in and the younger is a couple of half days. I cannot speak highly enough about the team and facilities there. Amazingly attentive and informative as well as helpful in all regards. The boys love going there.

Thank you for your lovely review. It is such a joy having the boys here.
The staff are all fantastic. Our daughter who attends Jack and Jill’s seems to love it there (she is two). The staff are always so lovely about her and so supportive. Picking the right nursery is stressful but we couldn’t ask for a better team.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We do enjoy any time spent with your child!
My son has been at Jack and Jill nursery for 6 months. His sister went there from 8 months up to school age. The staff are amazing across the setting. Kind, enthusiastic, energetic and engaging. They truly help build the forming years of children’s lives. My son loves it. He gets excited as we pull...
Management is fantastic. Supportive and understanding, as well as doing the most they can to help if additional nursery slots are needed. Most importantly, they’re heavily involved with the children and are loved just as much as the other staff.
Activities are fun and innovative, to the point where we’d love to go to Jack and Jill to do some of the things the kids do! You also wouldn’t know the next day that there’d been messy play the day before, it’s always immaculate.
Can’t recommend this childcare setting enough. Despite my daughter not going there for the last 2 years, she still gets greeted with a hug and the staff all want to know how she is doing at school.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is an absolute pleasure having your children here.
Jack and Jills have been fantastic for both my girls providing them with all the skills needed ready for school. Right from the baby room, they have been so supportive, caring and generally amazing! We feel beyond lucky to have found such a brilliant nursery!

We get a report each term, the family app for daily updates, opportunities for parent's evenings and they keep track of progress in an individual child planner.
I would highly recommend to anyone, the staff are amazing.
I am so glad that I chose Jack and Jill Day Nursery for my son's first experience in an educational setting. He joined when he was three and was there for almost a year and enjoyed going every day. All the staff are lovely, and they got to know him really well. Nothing was too much trouble, and...
They got to know my younger daughter too, and she can't wait to join them next year!

Our little boy started at Jack & Jill Day Nursery in April 2022 when he was 10 months old, and understandably, a scary time for us as parents, but the staff were so welcoming and facilitating! We had various settle sessions and really got to know the staff! They have continued to be so caring, kind and accommodating of our baby's needs (as well as ours). Our little guy always comes home suitably tired from days full of fun, which we love. The staff follow our routine as much as possible to provide that real home-from-home experience. The baby space is warm and welcoming! The next room also looks very exciting for when that time comes! Communication between parents and the staff is made easy via a parent app, and I always feel able to ask for updates throughout the day! We viewed a lot of childcare facilities when searching for the right one, and as soon as we viewed Jack and Jill, we knew, instantly, it was the right one! Thank you for taking good care of our son!

Our son has attended Jack and Jill Day Nursery since her was 8.5 months old. The staff are friendly and supportive and will respond quickly to any concerns or worries. Safeguarding is taken seriously, and management is very involved with the day-to-day running of the nursery. Children seem happy and supported emotionally. They also do a lot of fun and creative activities. Jack and Jill also support community projects such as the local food bank. I am very happy with the care this nursery has shown my son. They seem genuinely interested in his development and happiness, and I would therefore highly recommend them.
Every time he...
Every time he goes to nursery he’s always excited to go. His speech has improved amazingly since going to this nursery.
They are always doing fun things with him and he’s always happy when he leaves nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review. We really appreciate you taking the time to review us.

My son has attended Jack and Jill nursery for just over 2 years and he absolutely loves it there. He knows and loves all of the staff and has made lots of friends. He enjoys going in every day and I feel very confident with everything that the staff have done to make the setting safe, in relation to Covid-19. I have seen my son grow and develop in many ways since attending Jack and Jill's and it has set him up well for starting school in September. We will miss everyone a lot when the time comes to leave. I would highly recommend this setting for your child.
We really appreciate your lovely words

I would thoroughly recommend Jack and Jill Day Nursery. My little boy really enjoyed his time there. The staff were warm, friendly and approachable and were always willing to help. Being an active boy, my son loved the large outside play area, especially the bikes, mud kitchen and sandpit. The staff really took an interest in the things he enjoyed and nurtured them, adapting activities to get the best out of him. I feel that he progressed really well during his time there both academically and socially and was totally ready for school when he started this September. He has some lovely memories. Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely review Becky. We appreciate you taking the time to do this.
My daughter started at Jack and Jill's in September and has settled in so well. We were nervous as she had been happy at her previous preschool but she has loved it and is always excited to go and see the staff and her new friends.

After a month I was so pleased with the outcome at Jack and Jill that he went on full time and his 2-year-old sister shortly followed too.
He was so happy to go back to the nursery and wouldn't want to go back to the childminder.
I am a single parent working full time and for me, it is important my children are happy and well looked after when I am not there. I cannot thank enough to all management and staff which has supported, cared and understand not just my children but me also.
My boy school transition went really well and he is always happy to go back to nursery if he can.
My daughter, she is 3 and a half now and I am amazed how far she has come and I am sure she will miss it dearly when she moves to school next year.
This nursery has been the most amazing place for both my boys. The staff are fantastic and caring and super efficient at what they do. My boys both had key workers who can give me an accurate account of what they have been up to during their day at nursery and gives me complete peace of mind...

Highly recommend Jack and Jill. My son was a little reluctant at first as he had always been with me so took a little while to settle, the staff were very patient and caring, everyone seemed to know him really quickly and used his interests to help him separate from me. He has now been there over a year and has formed great relationships with the staff (who really know him) and made friends. He’s more than ready for school in September and has made some lovely memories including being a little mouse on the carnival float. The setting is lovely, great space, lovely resources and really lovely outdoor areas. I loved it as soon as I looked around and my view hasn’t changed. Will be sad to move on.

Can not rate this nursery highly enough. All the staff are lovely and my son (3) has been going there 4 days a week for over a year now and he absolutely loves it. The staff have also been really supportive with his speech development and getting me some additional support and advice. The indoors is a large, well-organised space. The outdoor area is lovely big size with good shade covering and plenty of things for the children to play on.
Fantastic nursery! Staff are caring and supportive of each child and their development. The nursery facilities are very good. Lots of outdoor space. Good communication to keep parents up to speed with everything. Highly recommend!
