Jack and Gill Childcare and Forest School

Its a lovely setting but came away feeling disappointed for a few reasons as I had high hopes. Such a shame. Feel slightly robbed for the 25 waiting list fee too - no explanation to what is actually covers and after visiting many other nurseries who do not charge to be on a list I feel its an unnecessary fee.

Such a special nursery. My daughter went there from 1 years till she started school. Have always felt so at ease that she's being cared for really well. And as a childcare professional myself that isn't always easy to feel)! A really unique setting with such great opportunities for learning and socialising. I love that the kids get out in all weathers. I love that it's different to other nurseries. Don't expect all the art and craft hand outs that come with other nurseries (although there are some) but do expect above and beyond care, enriching experiences and happy muddy children at the end of the day. The mix of home from home and forest/ field setting gives such a wide variety of avenues to explore for the children and I was grateful at the variety of learning my daughter achieved. I don't think it can get more fun than an adventure in a mini bus each day too. I can't rave enough about this setting..my favourite aspects are the way everyone works as a team and the children learn to gain responsibility from early on, and I so valued the detailed handover we received at the end of each day. Miss it terribly but feel fortunate there are opportunities of holiday care so we can keep in touch!

A magical place for kids to grow, full of adventure, fun and lots of interactive learning. We are so delighted we found it and our daughter absolutely loves it!

Forest School takes care of my two youngest sons (5 & 2) regularly during school holidays. They do an excellent job of taking care of them whilst also giving them a chance to get some fresh air in the countryside. The boys have plenty of outdoor activities to do and love interacting with the animals (dogs, goats etc). Whenever I pick them up they always have lots of stories to tell me about what they got up to that day.

My son who is 7 has been going to Jack and Gill Childcare for the last couple of years. He absolutely loves it and has become so confident with the animals they have and always talks about all the different things they get up to. Would 100% recommend :-)
