Day Nurseries Owned by Jesters in Essex

The setting and rooms are lovely. My daughter is currently within the 'hedgegogs' room and the staff who look after her are fantastic. Always reassuring and updating me with her daily doings - really makes me feel like she is being genuinely cared for, not just watched whilst I'm at work. The staff clearly enjoy their jobs and their enthusiasm for all the daily activities the children complete is lovely to see. Cannot recommend this nursery enough. Thank you to the whole Jesters team

My daughter joined Danbury in January 2026, and I cannot recommend it enough. She has absolutely thrived since starting there. The staff are exceptional, combining professionalism with genuine kindness and support for both children and parents. The school readiness programme is fantastic, helping children build confidence and develop key skills through phonics, independence, and activities such as a play-based educational program , which is my daughter's favourite. We have also been very impressed by the enriched curriculum, which provides a wide range of engaging learning opportunities. It has been wonderful to see how much my daughter has grown in confidence, independence, and enthusiasm for learning during her time at Danbury.

My daughter settled at Jesters very quickly and the staff has made her very comfortable. She now enjoys going to the nursery and really happy there. This made me trust the staff more than anything. Thank you

Going back to work was a huge milestone, but knowing he is in such safe, caring hands has made the transition so much easier. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff at Jesters for everything you do-we're so grateful.

My child has settled in so well this month- all the staff know his name and greet him everyday. The communication is brilliant- I have seen so many pictures of my baby playing happily with staff and new friends. The activities on offer are engaging and very varied- the staff link learning to the early learning goals and track progress. We couldn't have asked for anymore- thank you.

He attends every Thursday and Friday, and there is always a wonderful variety of fun and engaging activities that help him learn, develop new skills and explore his creativity. I would highly recommend Jesters to everyone!

The team is warm, friendly, and truly cares about every child. Days are filled with exciting games, art, and outdoor play. The rooms are clean, secure, and very welcoming. The food menu is full of variety & high quality food. Staff share wonderful daily notes and photos of your child's activities.

Jesters are a wonderful passionate team. My little boy moved to Jesters in January and I was very anxious of him having to resettle into a new environment. Not only were the team amazing with my son they were fantastic with me, giving continues updated throughout the day to asure me he was having a wonderful time. He runs from the car with excitement when we arrive now. Would highly recommend.

Really insightful showcase evening of Little Steamers at Jesters this evening. It was lovely to see the types of activities that are held there and see my son engage in them so happily and comfortably.

Similarly they do Mother's Day, Father's Day events and my daughter loved movie night.

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 :)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Our little boy has such a fun time at Jesters, he is always doing different activities and learning new things. The staff are all so caring and you can tell they are really invested in the children. Thank you jesters for being such a trustworthy place for our children

Jesters at Beaulieu is a brilliant nursery. My daughter has thrived and has been going for nearly 2 years. All the staff are lovely and so accommodating. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for a nursery.

My daughter has settled in so well and is thriving; she adores her key person and the other staff and is always so happy to go in. She eats well, sleeps well and I know she is cared for and looked after excellently.

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!
