We’ve felt really lucky that our child could go to Jubilee Day Nursery for the past 18 months. The outdoor space and opportunities have been amazing. The practitioners have all been very professional and have provided a caring environment for our daughter. I’ve been particularly impressed by the standard
of care in Treetops; all the phonics and other learning has really promoted our child’s development and I feel confident she’s got a solid foundation for starting school. Thank you, everyone at Jubilee!

I genuinely feel that Jubilee has given our son an incredible head start in life. During his time there, he has grown in confidence and is 100% ready to take school in his stride. The staff are attentive to their needs and take a personal interest in each child's development. They have curated a lifelong
love of the outdoors thanks to the rural setting and the endless imaginative activities the staff lay on. All of these things make me feel relaxed and confident to leave my child in their care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jubilee Day Nursery to anyone, and we will be back for the holiday club!

Jubilee Day Nursery is the Michelin Star of nurseries - amazing facilities, the outdoor space, in particular, is second to none, with access to animals, woodlands, sensory garden and outdoor play areas and forest learning activities providing a first-class early learning experience for the children.
Our
son attended Jubilee from 9 months old through to pre-school and leaving at 4.5 years old. Each age group is catered for with caring, professional staff, high standards of cleanliness and brilliant age-appropriate facilities indoors and outdoors.
The catering is excellent, food is grown onsite and locally sourced, and a great variety for the children - the chicken curry is legendary!
Jubilee puts on great family events and special themed days for the children and gives the feeling of community and being part of the Jubilee family - overall, I would highly recommend Jubilee Day Nursery.

An outstanding nursery.
As a working mum with two boys, I can honestly say Jubilee has always been amazing.
My eldest son started in 2016, which began our relationship with the Jubilee team, and our youngest is still there.
The manager and all of the staff at Jubilee have always done their absolute
utmost with both the boys; they are friendly, flexible and have always been available.
The nursery has amazing facilities, with access to donkeys, sheep, and a tortious onsite and regular trips to the farm and woods surrounding it.
The food is all cooked on site and is balanced and nutritious.
Thank you, team Jubilee, for all you do.

What an experience the children have at Jubilee. My eldest left last year, and my youngest is in ladybirds (3 years old in September). I love hearing about their woodland walks, trips to feed the animals and all their craft activities.
I can’t fault the staff and honestly feel they are part of the
family. My eldest loved working with one lady in the garden, helping grow all the fruit and vegetables.
The events Jubilee host, especially the winter wonderland, is just magical.
Thanks for all you do.

Fantastic nursery. They have a good SEN provision as well and are receptive to what you suggest. Both my children love going and run through the doors in the morning. They eat everything that’s served to them which is a win! The outside space is brilliant and the fact they have animals makes it even
better.

From when he started at Jubilee Day Nursery our son has been shown such dedicated care and concern for his development and wellbeing. Staff are kind, thoughtful, energetic, friendly and genuinely know our child. The food is healthy and he loves it, the facilities are brilliant and the practitioners
go out of their way to make every day different and fun! Communication is always quick and clear and the administrative staff are always efficient and helpful. A top nursery - we wish we could stay forever!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have put both my children through nursery at Jubilee Day Nursery from about 1 year old to starting school, so I've been using them for 7 years and I would strongly recommend them to anyone. The outdoor areas (including woods and farm) are second to none. The consistency of care and professional approach
of all staff can only be due to excellent training, processes and strong management. On top of that, there are a large number of long serving staff who are brilliant and both my daughters formed strong relationships with many. The approach to illness is pragmatic and focused on what is best for the children, which is greatly appreciated. Pre-school children are given a good head start with learning maths and reading. For a complete review: you do pay for what you are getting. I'm also aware of nurseries with more impressive menus, but on the whole the food is good, the children love it and the staff are very good at managing dietary needs. In summary, a nursery well worthy of the 5 stars.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have two children attending Jubilee Day Nursery. I have been really impressed with the staff throughout. They have a good mix of experienced and newer staff, and I feel confident when we leave them at nursery they are going to be well looked after by people who know my children well and care about
their wellbeing. The children do a good range of activities. We really like the range of outdoor activities the children do, which both of ours seem to enjoy. But, I’ve also been impressed how they spend time sitting listening to stories or taking turns playing games (definitely an achievement with my very active eldest child!). Jubilee Day Nursery is a bigger nursery than most but, because of how the staff move around the nursery, your children often have some of the same staff on your child's nursery journey, which is nice for you and the child. It is slightly more expensive than other nurseries but feel it is a children centered environment that is helping our children to grow into confident and kind individuals.

Jubilee Day Nursery is an amazing place. Although it’s a big nursery, there is a real family feel and the staff really get to know all the children individually. They are incredibly caring and also provide a brilliant environment for the children to grow and learn. Both my boys love attending and we
drop them off in the morning confident they will have a great time. The outdoor facilities in particular are very special, with so much space to explore and play.

All three of my children have been in the care of Jubilee Day Nursery, my oldest is now 7, my middle child is 4 1/2 and will be graduating in a couple of weeks to go to school in September, and my youngest is 2. They all started at 14 months. The nursery is amazing. All three of my children have been
well looked after, cared for, educated, and most of all have had so much fun. They spend so much time outside in the fresh air, learning new skills, visiting the farm animals, and spending time in the woods. The equipment and resources are superb. The hours are fantastic for working parents and the nursery has been very accommodating when we have had the odd issue on pick ups. The staff are lovely with the kids and also with the parents, understanding our emotions as well as the children's. I have also had great feedback from my son's school at how prepared he was which is a testament to the nursery. I would recommend Jubilee Day Nursery to friends and family. We love the place.

Our Child started nursery about two years after changing from another local nursery.
Since he has been at the nursery, the support we have recieved has been first class; he has thrived in his surroundings.
The staff are amazing, and you get the feeling it's like a family to them, not a job, also the
outside space and what the nursery has to offer these children make a massive difference.
This nursery is slightly more expensive than others, but you do get what you pay for!
This is a special place for a child to go to nursery.

Jubilee is such a lovely nursery with excellent facilities, particularly the amazing outside spaces. Our son loves seeing all the animals on their trips to the farm.
I was nervous about our son settling in due to having not been in childcare before, but Jubilee made it all go so smoothly.

The most fabulous nursery in an idyllic setting. The staff are kind, cosy and practical; 2 of my boys have loved it, and the 3rd will be starting soon. They spend lots of time outdoors in the woods, visiting the farm animals, playing in the sandpit or climbing frame, or watering the plants in the sensory
garden. As a key worker, they were amazing during Covid, staying open throughout and keeping a healthy balance between hygiene but remaining as “normal” as possible with the children. They eat wonderful home-cooked food and do all the messy play I can’t face doing in my own home. Thank you, Jubilee.

Jubilee is a wonderful nursery. My daughter had a bad experience at another provider and was very anxious as a result. The staff have worked wonders with her, and she has transformed into an outgoing girl who loves nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is absolutely perfect for our little one.
We were drawn to it by the amazing outdoor spaces, farms, animals and locations, which are amazingly utilised on a daily basis.
The staff have been outstanding throughout and very understanding and supportive of our daughter's special needs.
She has come on so much in the last six months; we are thrilled.
There is always someone friendly there to have a cuddle with, and she loves to go to them in the morning, which is fantastic to see.
The lovely little sensory garden, mud kitchen and flowers are a real treat, just adorable.
10/10 - a perfect early years experience for wild outdoors explorers.

Job Title: Overall Manager and Safeguarding Lead Joined: 2003

Having only ever worked within the Early Years Sector, I have many years of experience working with children and see my vocation as a real privilege. My 20-year career at Jubilee has seen me progress from a nursery nurse to the position I am proud to hold today.


I am proud to lead a highly skilled and enthusiastic team of early-year practitioners who provide high-quality teaching and deliver a vast range of learning experiences. I have a passion for guiding and training the team to achieve great things for all the children in our care.


Over the years, I have had inspiration from many different learning approaches which have been embedded into our Early Years Curriculum, recently achieving an ‘Outstanding’ result from our latest Ofsted inspection at one of our Jubilee sites!


I feel honoured that parents give Jubilee Daycare the opportunity to care for their children and as a team, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional learning opportunities and unique Early Years experiences.

For as long as I can remember I’ve been caring for children; there was no other vocation for me. My 40-year career has spanned experience as a private nanny, and nursery nurse and spending the last 22 years as Jubilee Day Nursery’s Manager.


I am now using my years of knowledge and experience to focus on our children’s and staff’s well-being within our setting.


Overall well-being is essential to a child’s development;


- I have always believed that the outdoors is the best environment for children to play and learn. I passionately foster Jubilee’s great love of the outdoors, using our amazing rural setting to help me deliver overall well-being experiences for all the children in our care.


- Delivering yoga, meditation and mindfulness sessions, promoting healthy, confident minds introducing our pre-schoolers to team and structured sports, and promoting physical activity and teamwork.


The children are at the centre of all that we do and we strive to make these precious years a truly wonderful experience.
