My little girl has been at Jesters since April and absolutely loves it! She settled so quickly and everyone has made the transition to nursery so much easier for us both! The communication is great and we get sent regular updates and photos. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting and comes
home beaming after her days at nursery. The staff are all friendly, welcoming and genuinely care. I couldn't recommend Jesters enough!

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.
Kind Regards,

Both my children have been at jesters Bicknacre since the age of 10months and the experience for both has been fantastic. It feels like a home from home and they are kind, incredibly caring and accommodating. The staff are easy to build relationships with and genuinely care. My son has just completed
his jesters journey finishing up at another branch and he couldn't be any more prepared for school. Thank you Jesters, i can't recommend this setting more!

We've had a great experience with Jesters Nursery (Beaulieu setting). The staff are caring, attentive and create a warm, supportive environment where our child has thrived.


The outdoor play area is a real highlight. Its spacious, safe, and used regularly to encourage active play and exploration. Jesters

also does a fantastic job supporting early learning through fun, well-planned activities that build key skills in communication, creativity, and social development.


Communication is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved. We're very happy with the care provided and highly recommend Jesters to other families.

My daughter joined the preschool room about three months ago, and the team have been fantastic in helping her settle-drop-offs are now a joy. She's so happy there that she often asks to go in on her days off! The staff are caring, supportive, and always ready to help. The activities are curriculum-based,
and I've already noticed great progress in her counting and phonics. She especially enjoys the outdoor play and messy activities, which the team actively encourage.

My son has been attending Jester's now for a few months, having been in another local preschool setting, which was good, there was a big shoes to fill and Jester's has done that and more. The warmth that you'll get from the team, the level of care, but also the commitment to creating and fostering a
learning environment is absolutely fantastic. We'd only wish we'd found Jester sooner. Thanks so much everyone.

My Daughters Wonderful Journey!


As my daughter gets ready to move on to her next adventure, I just want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Jesters Nursery. From the very first day, we felt welcomed, supported, and truly cared for.


The teachers are warm, nurturing, and incredibly

dedicated. My daughter has grown so much, not just in learning, but in confidence and joy. Every morning, she looked forward to coming to school, and that says everything.


We're especially thankful for the way the staff communicate with parents and always create a safe, fun, and inspiring environment for the children. From the little songs she brings home, to the friendships she's built, Jesters has been a special part of her early years.


A special thank you to one member of staff for her kindness and guidance, to another lovely young teacher, who has become not just a teacher, but a true friend to my daughter. Your care has meant the world to her and to us.


Thank you again for everything. We will miss you dearly!

My son has been with Jesters at another location setting since he was 10 months old, he's recently moved to the Danbury setting for the school readiness program and he's settled in so well there. The staff are fantastic and made us feel so welcome. He's recently been on a trip out to the museum which
he loved and it was so nice to see the photos uploaded to the app so I could see for myself what a great time he had. I have no doubt that over the next year he'll keep thriving there and be ready for school. I highly recommend Jesters!
