Little STEAMERS event. Really good that the nursery put on such events to show parents what they are doing and see the children enjoying the activities.
Similarly they do Mother's Day, Father's Day events and my daughter loved movie night.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
If I could give more than 5 stars - I would! Choosing to send our child to Jesters was the best decision we made. From his first day, we've felt nothing but warmth, support and love from all the staff there. I truly believe that the staff and the other children at Jesters has contributed to our son's
beautifully outgoing and confident personality.


Jesters helped support us with our son's nap schedule changes, his appetite, toilet training and his constant need to be on the move. The patience each and every one of the staff member has been incredible.


For anyone researching nurseries in the area, Jesters wholeheartedly has my vote! I'd not change a single thing about the setting. They're all heroes :)

Reply from Amy Saxon, Deputy Operations Manager at Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School, BeaulieuThank you for your lovely comments, and for taking the time to share such lovely feedback with us. We are so pleased to hear how positive your son's Jesters Journey has been.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Jesters Danbury for the dedication, warmth, and care you show every day. As a teacher, I had very high expectations when choosing a preschool for my son, but from the moment he joined Jesters, all of my worries disappeared. You have made us feel fully involved
in his learning journey and supported us through such a positive transition.
The staff are endlessly caring and truly understand the children. Our son absolutely adores you all, and his confidence, independence, and social skills have grown so much. The school-readiness programme and enriched curriculum have been fantastic, supporting both his academic and emotional development. Watching him thrive has been incredibly special, and we feel so lucky to be part of the Jesters family.

We have been so happy with the quality of care our daughter receives at Jesters Nursery. The staff are incredibly supportive, kind, and compassionate, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children. Communication is always very good, and we feel well informed and involved in our daughter's
day-to-day experiences and development.
The enriched curriculum is fantastic, with activities that really encourage learning and confidence. The Moo Music sessions are a real highlight and have been wonderful for her engagement and enjoyment. We also really appreciate how the nursery supports her development in everyday ways, such as encouraging her to try new foods and build independence. Collaboration with parents is strong, and we truly feel like we are working together to support our daughter. We couldn't be happier with Jesters Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Jesters for nearly 2 years now, having started at the baby nursery first.
Both practices are impeccable, staff are 10 out of 10 and the variety of activities and learning experiences provided are just amazing.
With an added bonus of extracurricular activities, this nursery
provision is an absolute gem!
Having moved my child to Jesters from a different provider, I can wholeheartedly say other childcare provisions within the area are incomparable. This is quite simply the best!
Thank you to Kylie, Phoebe, Rachel, Chyanne and the rest of the wonderful team at Jesters. We are amazed at all of the wonderful things our child is learning on a daily basis: from their recognition of phonics when reading bedtime stories to being able to independently dress themselves, it's lovely to see your child flourish and grow. Your hard work, commitment and care to our child does not go unnoticed and we are very grateful for everything that you do. Thank you x
Reply from Phoebe Daniels, Deputy Operations Manager at Jesters Nursery School DanburyThank you for such a lovely review. Watching your son grow and flourish has been a joy, and your kind words truly mean so much to the whole team. We're so grateful for your support!

Jesters Nursery School Danbury

from Gemma B (Mother of Child) published on 29 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has been attending Jesters for around six months now, and I'm genuinely amazed by how much she has progressed in such a short time. She comes home full of excitement, talking about phonics, new songs she has learned, and the lovely quality time she spends with her friends. It's incredibly
reassuring to see her confidence growing each week and to know she is truly enjoying her time at nursery.


The staff at the Danbury setting have been nothing short of fantastic. They are warm, patient, and genuinely dedicated to getting to know each child as an individual. The care and attention they give shines through in the way my daughter speaks about them and the experiences she has each day. I feel completely at ease knowing she is in such a nurturing and supportive environment.


I honestly cannot thank the team at Danbury enough for looking after my daughter and helping her grow so beautifully. I would highly recommend Jesters to any parent.

Reply from Hollie Russell, Servicewide Nursery School & Curriculum Lead at Jesters Nursery School DanburyThank you so much for your lovely review. We love having your daughter with us at Jesters Danbury, and can't wait for her to continue her journey with us!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending the nursery for around six months now, and we've been so pleased with how well he has settled and grown during his time there. He recently moved up groups, and the staff made the whole transition feel smooth, reassuring, and incredibly positive. He talks about his new room
with so much enthusiasm, and it's clear that he feels comfortable, confident, and excited to learn each day.


One of the things that means the most to us is how much he genuinely loves his teachers. They are warm, patient, and clearly dedicated to supporting him as an individual. The bond he has built with them has helped him grow socially and emotionally, and it shows in the way he comes home chatting about his activities and the people who looked after him.


We're so grateful for the care, kindness, and encouragement he receives. We couldn't ask for a more supportive and nurturing nursery environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't say enough how grateful I am for all the support the Jesters (Danbury) staff have given myself and Edgar over the past 2 months. We have just moved to Danbury and changing settings was never going to be an easy process for a 3 year old, but I am thrilled to see that Edgar is loving going to
pre-school! He speaks so highly of the days that he has and the activities he participates in. I have also seen a huge difference in a very short time around his independence with certain things eg. getting himself ready, putting things away, which is all down to the team giving him the confidence to try.


Special shout out to Kylie who has formed such a bond with Edgar. Thank you so much for being so warm and caring. Edgar truly feels like Jesters is a safe place where he can be himself and I know you make him feel very seen.


Thanks again team!

My daughter loves being at Jesters, she does so much there in a day which all involves learning through play, wellbeing and moving her body to keep active. Since joining her confidence is excelling and she has progressed in her learning leaps and bounds. The staff are all very understanding and the
setting has plenty of toys and books to play with that are all clean and age relevant. I love there's no stress for me needing to prepare her meals and they are all included along with snacks. The app they use is great as I can see what she has been up to there and get regular updates throughout the day which puts my mind at rest and they are always happy to take a phone call checking in. Also a great location for the fact she can be outside a lot too. Overall so glad we found Jesters!

We're been really happy with Jesters Beaulieu and how much our 2 year old has come along there. He is so confident and his speech and even sign language has really improved especially lately. Our son sometimes gets overwhelmed and staff have invited us to meet with them and put in place extra support
for him which has really helped. They've really thought about what he needs above the basics of childcare. He loves going in the mornings and is always happy when he leaves.

The team at Jesters have been welcoming and supportive with my child's separation anxiety during the initial days. The level of care given to make sure she was comfortable and settled into the new routine/environment has been outstanding. Even making sure to call and let me know how my child is getting
on which was so helpful at that time.
Along the way struggles with eating has been kindly supported with adult friendly meal time supervision and encouragement establishing and providing that extra boost to my child's confidence.
Overall the team at jesters are very friendly, helpful, supportive and professional, sometimes even taliorling my childs needs on a day to day basis if required.
They provide a safe environment for my child and encourage her to excel in a number of interactive and engaging activities. My child has developed confiendence and is thriving.
Thank you team for your consistant, outstanding effort and hard work, you are doing a brilliant job.
