My daughter is currently in the under 2's room at the nursery and is enjoying it greatly. She walks into the room with a big smile every morning and goes and hugs one of the carers there waiting for her. Not only is she excited to be dropped off but usually when I attend to collect her she is in no hurry to leave and wants to stay playing with the kids and toys, in particular when it's story time, she does not want to leave. She has learnt a wide array of skills and has grown independent. The staff are all so lovely, knowing my daughters name even when they are not in the same class. Her key worker is exceptional and my daughter has a very strong bond with her which started from day 1. A huge thank you to all the team.
We are so grateful for your feedback, thank you from all at Jack Straws Lane.
Jack Straws is an outstanding nursery and we feel lucky we sent our child there. The staff are great. The facilities are fun and the setting is safe.
My little girl joined this nursery when she was just over 1 year old. She is very attached to me and I was worried about her. As time has gone by she has a good bond with her key person and other teachers in the room. She settled in very well. Thanks to all the teachers in the room for their kind help.
Thank you for your kind words about our nursery, it is wonderful to read the feedback.
The nursery is very safe and clean. The staff is attentive and caring. They put on fun events and daily learning tasks for the kids. Beautiful property that is well maintained. Plenty of pictures are posted for parents to see. Again the staff is awesome and well trained. Would recommend this nursery to others over others I have viewed.
Thank you for this lovely feedback - we appreciate it always!
My son is leaving this nursery today which is very sad but he had a lovely 2 years stay at Jack Straws Lane Nursery. Here they have the best staff. They are always helpful, friendly and kind-hearted. My son has developed very well on all sides and has become confident. He enjoys communicating with others and the staff encouraged a lot on his imagination. The Jack Straws Lane Nursery built great connections with parents, and also a social network for families in which we engaged a lot! Highly recommend!
Excellent nursery, our daughter loves her time here and is always enthusiastic to go. All the staff have been great and the facilities particularly the outdoor spaces is a big appeal.
Excellent nursery and staff show great care. My child has learnt a lot from attending and looks forward to seeing all her friends and staff.
Thank you so much for this very kind review! It's a joy to see them grow and learn!
What I particularly like about Kids Planet Jack Straws Lane is that the kids spend most days outdoors and playing with natural objects and toys. The menu is well-balanced and my daughter is very happy with it. The staff is very friendly and helpful when needed.
Kids Planet Jack Straws Lane is a wonderful, fantastic well run and managed nursery nursery for my 2 children. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the overall experience. I would highly recommend this nursery in particular to all future parents. Thank you Kids Planet.
Love Kids Planet Jack Straws nursery. The team in the baby room is friendly and accommodating. The space available to the children is amazing and the staff work hard to make new activities and skills.
The kids in all years clearly show kindness to all the carers which gives me confidence in all that they do.
Fantastic school and great environment to be in.
Our son has been attending the nursery for about a year, and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience for him and for her mum and me. We've seen our little one develop and come out of his shell, develop lots of skills and genuinely bond with all his carers at the nursery. They've been incredibly supportive to our family, and we have nothing but praise for our nursery.
We are delighted with the care our son receives at JSL Nursery - he loves all the carers and activities, which are always so creative and have definitely helped him develop and learn. He is very happy and fulfilled, which is everything we want for him!
Jack Straws is a really nice nursery with staff who care for the children. They are always open to feedback and improvements. Also, very creative daily activities where fun and education is guaranteed. Great outdoor spaces and equipment.
Excellent nursery, very caring staff and attention to detail is meticulous.
Both my children (3-4 years and 1-2 years) love the nursery. There are great facikyities and outdoor spaces, especially the woodlands. The team is excellent, activities etc. as well. We are very happy and would definitely recommend this nursery!
Our daughter started at Jack Straws Nursery in January and we are very happy with the nursery. The staff are all lovely and our daughter is settling in very well. The facilities are great too. We feel very comfortable leaving our child here.
It has been lovely actually since September 2023 till now with the room swap from toddler and transition into preschool. My son has received so much attention, welcoming warmth, reassurance, and bonding with the teachers that he almost instantly started to love nursery. Thank you to all the staff for the kindness, care, and life-changing warmth that my son has received since he started.
I cannot say enough positive things about the nursery. My son took a while to settle in and the staff were so encouraging, supportive and reassuring. My son now loves nursery and he comes home every day having learned something new. The staff genuinely care about the children and parents and it really shows. I'm so grateful to leave my son in such wonderful hands!
Thank you.

Meet the Team (3)
My name is Rebecca, having worked across a variety of childcare settings for the past 10 years, I have finally found my home being the manager of Jack Straws Lane. I am passionate about delivering quality childcare where the children have opportunities to thrive, create and be inspired by the everyday awe and wonder around them.
In my spare time, I love to travel, and experience different cultures around the world.
My name is Charlotte, I found childcare after following in my mother's footsteps. Spending time with children when I was young truly ignited my passion for this role. Before settling into nursery life, I worked as an entertainer based at UK holiday parks. Having thoroughly enjoyed my time there, it was a natural Segway into becoming part of children's development. What I love about Jack Straws Lane is the career opportunities it has provided for me, as well as most importantly the family feel that the setting offers.
My name is Maite, I am the Third in charge and room leader of our Under 2s unit. I am originally from Spain and speak English & Spanish. I have previously worked as an au pair, across different settings & various countries.
The reason I work with children is because I cherish seeing how they develop, watching their individual personalities grow and learn new skills. I am Udeskole trained and carry a passion for promoting outdoor learning across all ages.
