Families in Hemel Hempstead have something to celebrate as Jack & Jill’s Day Nursery, one of the area’s most established early years providers, has unveiled a stunning upgrade to its facilities. The extensive renovation has transformed the nursery into a modern, vibrant learning space, designed to give local children the very best start in their educational journey.
Nestled in the peaceful setting of Woodwells Farm on Wood Lane End, the newly improved nursery in Hemel Hempstead boasts bright, contemporary classrooms and a wealth of indoor and outdoor learning spaces. This upgrade cements Jack & Jill’s reputation as a leading nursery provider in the area, with families from Hemel Hempstead, Boxmoor, Bovingdon, Kings Langley and beyond choosing the setting for its high standards of care and innovative teaching approach.
But perhaps the most exciting addition to the nursery’s offering is the development of its impressive Forest School. This unique outdoor learning environment encourages children to explore, play and learn in nature – a concept growing rapidly in popularity across the UK.
A Fresh, Inspiring Environment
The renovation at Jack & Jill’s Nursery has been carefully designed to create an environment that inspires young minds while ensuring children feel safe, comfortable and valued. Spacious, light-filled rooms have been thoughtfully arranged to encourage both independent play and group learning, while new equipment and resources have been handpicked to stimulate creativity and curiosity.
The nursery team worked closely with architects and early years specialists to ensure the refurbishments reflect the latest in child-centred design. From calming reading corners to interactive play zones, every element of the upgrade has been chosen with child development in mind.
Parents who have visited since the renovation have praised the modern feel of the setting, noting how it strikes a perfect balance between being welcoming and professional. The refreshed environment has also proven popular with the children, with many excited to explore the new spaces each day.
Bringing Learning Outdoors with Forest School
Alongside its indoor transformation, Jack & Jill’s has further developed its much-loved Forest School, giving children the chance to experience outdoor learning as part of their daily routine. Situated within the nursery’s grounds, the Forest School area offers a safe and natural environment where children can climb, build dens, discover wildlife and take part in nature-inspired crafts.
Forest School sessions are led by qualified practitioners who guide children through activities designed to build confidence, resilience and teamwork. These outdoor experiences allow children to engage with the world around them while developing key skills such as problem-solving, communication and creativity.
Parents have already noticed the benefits, with many commenting on their children’s increased independence and enthusiasm for outdoor play. The Forest School ethos aligns perfectly with Jack & Jill’s commitment to creating well-rounded learning experiences, blending free play, guided play and teacher-led activities.
