Welcome to Jack in the Box Preschool

 

At Jack in the Box Preschool, we welcome children from 15 months until they are ready to move on to “big school.”

Our aim is to provide every child with a rich variety of activities and experiences that encourage them to learn, grow, and develop at their own pace. We pride ourselves on creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child is valued and treated equally.

We are open Monday to Friday, from 8:30am to 3:30pm, during term time only.

Each day begins with a warm and friendly welcome from our dedicated team, helping every child to feel safe, happy, and ready to learn.

 

Learning Through Play

Play is at the heart of everything we do. Throughout the day, children are invited to explore a wide range of indoor and outdoor learning opportunities, designed to spark curiosity and creativity while supporting key areas of development.

​

Our activities include:

• Exploration and sensory play

• Role play and imaginative experiences

• Sand and water play

• A quiet reading area with a range of fiction and non-fiction books

• Story time and singing sessions

• Early phonics activities

• Creative arts, building, drama, and music

• Nature exploration and outdoor learning

• Seasonal and themed activities

• Outdoor play in our spacious, shaded, and sheltered garden area

• A large grassed play space for active play

• A selection of trikes, scooters, and balance bikes for developing gross motor skills

 

Snack and Social Time

Snack time is offered during both the morning and afternoon sessions. It’s a valuable opportunity for children to socialise, share experiences, and enjoy healthy snacks in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

​

Supporting Every Child

At Jack in the Box, we believe that learning should be fun, engaging, and meaningful. Every activity we offer supports children’s development across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage, building confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
