Jubilee Gems

We came over from another country, and Jubilee nursery gave us a lovely welcoming. The staff is amazing. Always with a happy face and very friendly. I love the nursery. Always going outdoors, despite the weather. My son settled very quickly, and I think is because the staff and all the equipment and activities are very, very good. My son enjoys it every day!

The nursery has been absolutely amazing in helping us as a family apply for an Educational Health Care Plan whilst still ensuring my child has had a great time. They have been so very accommodating of his needs and requirements, never showing any outward annoyance or upset towards home when he is having a hard day. They have amazing rooms, space and practitioners. All the staff are friendly and willing to help. I wish they were a school as well as I just don't want my child to go anywhere else. He loves it so much, and they clearly love him as well. We will be so very sad to leave.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for three years, and it is absolutely fantastic! The staff are amazing! They are really caring and excellent with the kids. We get daily feedback and photos of the children having fun. Lovely outdoor area and facilities. It’s her last year, and she will miss this nursery tremendously.

The staff know the children so well and form meaningful relationships with them. The children are offered such exciting and varied play, with time outdoors in the woods and with the farm animals. Everything has such a strong learning base, and the children end up independent and confident, ready for school. Couldn’t ask for more!

The Nursery is well run and has a lot of facilities including a huge outdoor space for the kids to use. Additionally, the private wood and access to animals give Gems and amazing advantage over other places we considered. Staff were always professional and friendly to kids and parents. The winter wonderland party was always a special treat each year too. Would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

I have had 2 children attending the nursery over the last 8 years, I do not have a single complaint. The whole atmosphere of the place is a positive one which is built by the professional and friendly staff, both my children have loved their time at the nursery and I believe set them on the right path for school. It is a very outdoor-based environment which I have always loved as have the children. I highly recommend Jubilee Gems Nursery.

We also love the photos and daily updates; it’s nice to see the fun!

"Excellent. Wonderful. Amazing" advised a random parent in the car park, when I nervously asked on my first visit, what's it really like? So we decided to travel from Reading, and my son (who hadn't settled at three nearby settings) was very happy there for the last year and a half until he started school three weeks ago. The staff are - to a man/woman - always ready with a greeting, hug, wave, chat, plan, theme, exciting idea, different toy set up, outside adventure, learning challenge, photo for the parents, celebration poem, bucket of slime-and-dinosaurs, etc. etc. etc. They constantly had ideas upon ideas, not just shaving foam but foam with colours and scents and cars and conkers and bare feet, not just baking but taking turns flipping pancakes in a pan over a tiny real fire on the field. What a place to have fun and be properly taken care of. Thank you so much to the team.

Gems provide a structured, broad and stimulating learning environment. All children develop their potential and are nurtured with respect and love. The staff display care, compassion and understanding of each child. It is obvious when entering the nursery that the vast activities available immediately engage enthusiasm and a desire for learning. The buzz of busy children is apparent and everyone is welcomed with a smile. This aspect is so comforting for parents and carers who immediately feel that the children are left in a happy and secure environment. Since starting in Gems my grandson has made so much progress. His language development has surpassed all expectations and the staff have ensured that he is able to express his particular interest and encouraged what he enjoys. The manager has displayed excellent leadership qualities to guide and motivate all Staff. You have touched the life of him and his family and in years to come, they will reflect with happiness on the time he has spent with you.

My daughter attended Gems from when she was 13 months right up until she finished last week, ready to go off to school. I can’t thank all the staff at Gems enough for their kind and nurturing ways. My daughter has had so much fun and is now very ready for school (despite wanting to stay at Gems as she loves it so much). Everything runs very smoothly and all staff are very approachable, helpful and flexible. The regular photos and updates provided are great too as it’s lovely to know what your child has been doing each day, including what they have eaten. The outside space is amazing and the toys/activities and learning zones inside are also fantastic. Lots of different, fun and messy things going on every day. I honestly couldn’t fault anything about Gems and would have no hesitation in highly recommending it to everybody.

An absolutely fabulous nursery. The manager and her team are exceptional, they treat each child as an individual and help bring them on in leaps and bounds. I cannot speak highly enough of how they care and develop the children in an environment that is stimulating, fun, educational and safe. Every day there are different activities and a testament to how happy the children are there, my child even wants to go at the weekend. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Jubilee Gems is a wonderful nursery, other people will comment on the stimulating environment, fantastic outside resources and extracurricular engagement which are second to none (from experience), this is all true but to us the real reason why Gems deserves high praise is the staff. The manager is wonderful, professional, caring, and skilled. She gets the best out of her staff, and the best for the children. Our daughter has some complex SEND, when starting Gems at 3 was largely non-verbal, mostly using Makaton. Staff were trained and got to understand her needs quickly; they engaged external services when needed, and sought additional funding for her support. They supported us through the process of applying for additional support for school and are now preparing her for transition. We couldn't have found a better setting for our little girl. Sending her to Gems has been one of the best decisions we have made. We are very sad to be saying goodbye - thank you all at Gems!

Absolutely love this nursery, when you have that daily ‘Mum guilt’ about going off to work it’s outweighed knowing how cared for they are at Jubilee and how much fun they are having. My little boy has thrived there and they have him more then ready to start school in September. I’ll be so sad when it’s his time to leave. My daughter who is now 8 has so many wonderful memories of her time there too.

We have been sending our 2 children here since May last year, and could not be happier with the standard of care my children receive, they both really enjoying going. The staff are very friendly, professional and caring. Seeing all the children's needs are been met. Really great nursery my oldest will be starting school this year and will miss coming.

Amazing nursery with lots of wonderful and exciting learning opportunities! Kind and friendly staff who always catered to my child’s needs. A very engaging and stimulating environment.

The staff at Jubilee Gems is wonderful - friendly and professional. Every day children have a range of activities suited to their age. Children spend a lot of time outdoors.

I recommend it to anyone I can. I am so so pleased my daughter is there.

Only area for development would be the appearance of the buildings at Jubilee Gems but this does not affect the care provided to the children and is a more cost-effective alternative to another nursery.

Our son is in Emeralds at Jubilee Gems and he’s thriving. The staff in the room are knowledgable, kind and fun, they go all out for their themes (space was epic) and appear to enjoy working with their children. We have used Jubilee Day and Jubilee Gems and loved both but Gems works best for us as the hours are flexible and the rooms are smaller. We highly recommend this setting if you’re after a gentle, kind, fun setting!

My daughter has been at Jubilee Gems for a year and a term now and absolutely loves it. All of the staff are so friendly and have built up relationships with my daughter. She has moved rooms once and had a great experience in both, she is already looking forward to moving up to preschool there. The outdoor facilities are brilliant and she thoroughly enjoys all of the trips and visits they do. I like that the children do lots of outdoor play all year round. My daughter has dietary requirements and Jubilee Gems have accommodated that really well. We get regular communication and lots of photos through the app which I love to see, as well as updates in terms of my daughter's, progress towards her targets. Overall, I am so pleased I chose to send her to Jubilee Gems and she has thrived since she’s joined!
