Jack and Jill Pre-School has been providing childcare in Old Hall, Warrington since 1988. We was previously a Committee run Charity Pre-School but have recently changed over to a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) due to the annual task of recruiting committee members. We now operate with a small board of trustees made up of past and previous parents.
We was previously an Ofsted registered ‘GOOD’ provider, prior to the changeover and are currently waiting for our inspection under our new charity status after a very positive registration visit. We are a registered charity with the Charity Commission which means we are not for profit all our profits, donations and fundraising is fed straight back into the preschool.
Ofsted registration number – 2861969
Charity number – 1210915

Sessions cost £20.00 each or £40.00 for a full day. We do not have cooking facilities so children attending full days or afternoon sessions will need to be provided with a packed lunch.
You can contact us any time to arrange a visit and pick up a registration pack. We do recommend putting your child’s name on our waiting list up to a year before their start date as sessions are high in demand and limited.
A healthy snack is provided on each session and snack menus are changed each term to offer a variety of foods for the children to try. Snack is chargeable at £2.00 per week this is also an optional fee.
An optional extra curricular charge of £2.00 per week is in place which enables us to carry out outings to museums/libraries, we currently have weekly multi sports and football sessions. Suggestions are welcome of things you would like to see in the future ie. baking/science.
We operate in line with Warrington Borough Council and are able to accept all types of funded hours and other forms of payment such as Tax-Free Childcare and Childcare Vouchers.

Your Child’s Learning Journey
During your child’s time at Jack and Jill Pre-School they will learn through play, our setting follows the Development Matters to track and assess your child’s progress we focus on the 7 different areas of learning and development. When they start at Jack and Jill your child will be assigned a key worker member of staff who will be responsible for your child’s learning progression and getting them school ready, this will also be your first point of contact who will get to know your child and family really well. Tapestry is a great app for staff and parents as you can see what your child has been up to at preschool and you can also upload things that they have been up to at home such as holidays, special celebrations or even writing their name.
