Jack & Jill has been looking after local families for over thirty years. Forty-one places, Monday to Friday, 9am to 3pm — run by a team who've been here for years, for children aged two up to school age.
We've been in our current building since 2002, serving Ash, Ash Vale, Tongham, Aldershot, Normandy and Mytchett. The scale is deliberate — it's what makes it feel like a family.
We're a single-setting nursery with 41 places for children aged two to five. Children mix across ages, supported by their key worker and a consistent team of practitioners.
Term-time only, 38 weeks a year, roughly matching Surrey school terms. An 8:30am early-start option is available as a paid extra.
Choose from a 9am–12pm morning session, a 12pm–3pm afternoon session, or a full 9am–3pm day. Mix and match across the week to suit your family.
We aim to offer children and their parents a service that promotes equality and values diversity — physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually.
Learning led by what each child is curious about — not a rigid weekly plan.
Lead practitioners with degrees in Early Education; ELSA and THRIVE licensed staff.
Thirty years in Ash. We know the local schools, and they know us.

"We've been part of Ash for over thirty years. A lot of the children we have now are the children of children we once looked after — that says more than any brochure could.
My daughter didn't want to leave at pickup. That's really all I needed to know.
They genuinely knew our son — his moods, his obsessions, what calmed him down. Like a second family.
When he started reception, his teacher said he was the most settled child in the class.
We accept FEET, Universal and Working Parents government funding, alongside privately funded places. Indicative rates — we'll send the current fee sheet on request.
Funding rules change often. Send us your child's date of birth and your working situation — we'll come back with exactly what you're entitled to and what (if anything) you'd pay on top.
Ask us about funding →We love showing families around. Pick a time, meet the team, see the garden. No commitment — and yes, your child is very welcome to come too.
