Overall Experience

I can't recommend the nursery enough! My little one has been there since she was 8 months old. They're very attentive to detail and super responsive if anything happens. The chef is amazing - there's a great variety of food and fresh fruit on offer. The staff are dedicated and keep the app super up-to-date with what's going on.

Review from Muthu Karunarathna K (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have had a wonderful experience with this nursery. Our child started here when she was around seven months old and is now almost three. Over this time we have seen incredible growth in her confidence, communication and independence. The team provides a warm, caring and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore, learn and express themselves.

The range of activities is fantastic, from reading and storytelling to creative play, music and outdoor activities. We have particularly noticed how much her language and social skills have developed through the daily interactions and structured learning.

The food provided is also very good, with healthy and balanced meals which she enjoys. It is reassuring to know she is well cared for and happy during the day.

Overall, we are very grateful for the support, care and dedication that goes into helping children grow and learn. It has been lovely to see how confident and curious she has become.

Overall Experience

Honestly, we couldn't be happier with this nursery. I've heard plenty of stories about issues elsewhere, but we're genuinely proud of the one we chose. A big thank you to Katie and Jade, who have been with our son since he started at just 10 months old. They've managed his allergies with so much care and always put his best interests first. We love getting regular updates on his development, and whenever we're able to visit inside, the organisation and condition of the rooms really stand out. It's so reassuring knowing he's in a clean, safe space where he can grow and thrive.

Review from Monica O (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery for two years, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The teachers are absolutely amazing, they are caring, attentive, and always keep me updated on everything. My little one loves going each day, which says a lot about how welcoming and nurturing the environment is. The nursery offers a wide variety of fun and engaging activities, and the food provided is always yummy. What I appreciate most is how involved the staff are in my son's development. He has been a little behind in some areas, but the teachers have been supportive, patient, and proactive in helping him grow and catch up. THTJB has been a wonderful part of our lives, and I'm so grateful for the care and dedication they show every single day.

My daughter goes to THTJB nursery since she was 9 months old and this has been the best decision ever. She has thrived in this nursery with the best carers. The staff is extremely professional and caring and have gone above and beyond for my daughter. She's independent and very chatty. Absolutely love the nursery and recommend it 100%

Overall Experience

My little boy is 2 and he absolutely loves coming here. From the very first day, the staff made us both feel so welcome and at ease. They are so caring and attentive, and I can see how much my son enjoys his time there, he always goes in with a smile and comes home happy and content. It's such a relief knowing he's in a safe, nurturing environment where he's growing in confidence every day. I couldn't recommend The House That Jack Built Nursery enough.

Overall Experience

The House That Jack Built is a fantastic nursery and I can't sing their praises highly enough. The staff are so genuinely kind and caring and our son adores them. They make me feel very confident leaving my son with them, and I know I can always check in with any concerns I might have during the day. The activities they do with the children are very good and always educational. Our little boy's development has excelled since he started at THTJB and for that we can't thank the staff enough. I would recommend the nursery to anyone and I am so glad we chose this wonderful setting for our child.

THTJB IS the perfect nursery, I will say. My child's communication has really improved since she attended. The staff there are brilliant and really nice. I will choose this over and over again. When my child is in school, I don't have to panic. I always see my child's progress via the app.

Review from Andreea A (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am deeply impressed by how my son was treated by every single person at the nursery. They've been so kind, always patient, always understanding. On top of that their education programme is shaping our children impressively. I took my son from 6 months and he learned there how to be independent while eating, how to develop the love for books, how to have a diverse and healthy diet for his age, how to interact with other children and many others. He shown excitement every time he sees the purple door of this nursery. He recognizes it as something great to look for. Also the staff are well trained to recognize early signs of a health problem and advise the parents accordingly so illnesses are not spread or the child is treated early.

Absolutely outstanding nursery. They care so much about the children and always have their best interests at heart. You get weekly updates on what your child has gotten up to, daily updates on what they've eaten, nap times etc. The staff are all so lovely too. Can't fault the nursery at all. Well worth the money!

Review from Ben S (Father of Child) published on 31 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I’m not accustomed to leaving reviews - good or bad - but I feel The House That Jack Built Nursery deserves the exception! Our children have been attending the nursery for about a year and their growth and development in that time has been just amazing. The staff and management create a wonderful environment in which the kids can explore, learn, play and develop their skills and personalities. At the same time, the nursery provides parents with the comfort and security that the children are in safe hands, responding to any issues quickly and proactively. The nursery is very much a part of our lives and we are grateful for their caring approach, their expertise and their positive impact.

Overall Experience

I was a little worried as my daughter didn’t settle well into a different nursery but I had no need to worry. Staff at Bennett’s End were amazing and my daughter loves it there. She’s constantly talking about all her friends and teachers. I can’t thank the staff enough for making her feel so welcomed and happy. Her confidence as grown massively.

Review from Rashpal S (Mother of Child) published on 16 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our twins have been attending the nursery for a year now, their development and growth over this year has been amazing - they have truly grown. The nursery is bright and warm, they have new resources which are suitable for children with all needs. The thoughts and efforts that go into activities are always varied and fun. I have found all the staff to be so loving, caring and kind towards the children, they are respectful and communicate well with us as parents. I trust in the nursery, I don’t worry about the twins when they are there as I know they are well looked after, safe and having so much fun. They love going to nursery, playing and seeing their friends. Would recommend it without a doubt! Thank you for all you do.
