What we do

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.

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.
