About this day nursery

Jack in the Box Nursery in Bosbury offers a distinctive childcare experience, blending a "home from home" philosophy with an enriched curriculum. Situated a short drive from Ledbury, the nursery caters to children from birth up to 11 years old across its two facilities, Crib Cottage and Leadon Lodge.

Crib Cottage specifically focuses on EY3 and EY4 classes, offering tailored care with high staff-to-child ratios, ensuring individual needs are met. The environment encourages exploration through dedicated "messy rooms" for creative play, alongside spaces for small world, block, and role-play activities.

Daily outdoor experiences, including walks in the village and visits to the "Enchanted Woods" at Leadon Lodge, are also a key part of the children's routine. The nursery operates 46 weeks a year, closing for Christmas, Whitsun, and three weeks in August to prioritise staff well-being.

This approach ensures that the team, which includes Early Years Professionals, qualified Early Years Teachers, Forest School Leaders, and a Lamda Drama Teacher, remains energised and focused on providing high-quality care and education. The nursery prides itself on its inclusive fees, covering all meals, snacks, nappies, and wipes, aiming to simplify life for busy parents.
