About this day nursery

Jack & Jill's Nurseries in Harlow, Essex, offer dedicated childcare across two distinct locations: Sydenham House and Mark Hall Sports Centre. Established to meet growing demand, the Mark Hall branch opened in January 2018, complementing the existing Sydenham House setting.

The nurseries are committed to providing a professional and nurturing environment for children, supported by a team of qualified and experienced staff. Each child is assigned a key person to oversee their welfare and development, fostering strong relationships between parents and staff for continuity of care.

The nurseries prioritise staff training and ensure all team members undergo police checks and provide references. They maintain specific staff-to-child ratios, with one adult for every eight children over three years old, and one adult for every four children aged two to three years.

Families interested in learning more or arranging a visit are encouraged to contact either nursery directly via phone or email.
