Jesters Nursery School Danbury

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.

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.

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

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!

The loving and nurturing environment given by the key workers has helped her to settle in and flourish over these past few months and every single day, she goes in (and comes out!), with a huge smile on her face.

We're so excited to watch her continue to grow there!!

Amazing! Moved into the area and can say this nursery is night and day in comparison to where we was previously. Updates are amazing and is great to see what they get up to during the day. The team are fantastic and a special shout out to Kylie who is working wonders! Would recommend to anyone in the area and will be returning back when the time arrives.

Staff are friendly and engaging and take a genuine interest in the wellbeing and education of my daughter. My daughter loves going. The school readiness program is great, and combined with the extended hours and year-round opening, I can work, and I know she is happy in a supportive and nurturing environment.

They already know my little boy so well after only 1 month and it's so lovely to see him creating bonds and also making new friends.

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.

I am thrilled to have chosen Jesters to look after my son. He is thriving there and speaks wonderful things about all members of staff. We receive regular updates via the parents portal and feel reassurance when seeing them, that he is improving a range of skills. My husband and I too feel comfortable as feedback is always given in a non judgemental manner and warm tone.

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!

We are absolutely thrilled with the level of care at Jesters Nursery School Danbury. 3 staff members in particular go above and beyond to create a welcoming and fun environment for all the children. The educational activities are always well thought out and we receive regular updates on what they have learnt each week. Our daughter has really thrived whilst at Jesters, they have encouraged her creativity and imagination and she has made some lovely friends. We can't recommend this nursery enough and can't wait to see how our son develops when he starts in September.

Since joining Jesters my son has changed and grown so much. He's become so much more outgoing, confident and really enjoys his nursery days and seeing all his friends. The school readiness programme has been brilliant for him and he is really enjoying learning new things and practising what he's learnt at home. His vocabulary amazes me now and he always wants to do things himself or show me things he's learnt. He is getting very excited for school in September but it will be a sad time when he has to leave Jesters as he has formed lovely relationships with all the staff and other children.

My daughter was at the Bickenacre setting since she was 10 months old which we were very happy with. Last September our daughter moved to Danbury to start the readiness program, since starting this she has thrived. Jesters have a very creative and fun way of teaching the children while preparing them for school when they start in September. My daughter loves it at Jesters and I cannot recommend both Danbury highly enough.

Our son has absolutely flourished at Danbury doing the school readiness programme. He has just soaked up everything and is so ready for school in September. His independence and confidence have grown so much, with the help of the wonderful staff. The activities they do, and the learning opportunities are so well thought out, always with the children and their learning in mind. He has made some lovely friendships and has thrived there. It will be a bittersweet moment the day we leave. We have been with Jesters for nearly 4 years and they have given him the best start he could possibly ask for. I love that it's a small nursery with a lovely character.

Update, in the end I have to take my son out of this place for his best.

My child has absolutely loved his time at Jesters in Danbury. The whole team have been amazing from the moment we contacted by email and communications have continued to be fantastic. My child absolutely adores the staff caring for him, so much so he has asked if he can attend more days. My son settled in so quickly with the team, and I appreciate the time they take to update me on how his day has been when I collect him. He has had so many new and different experiences at the nursery, and we have all been delighted with all the different activities he has been doing at the nursery. I am so happy we were lucky enough to find a place here and I would highly recommend this nursery.

I cannot recommend Jesters Danbury more highly! We recently moved to the area; I toured 7 nurseries to find the right fit for our daughter. Jesters was the best choice by far -- everything we've experienced has confirmed this. We love the approaches and ethos. The setting is bright, open, spacious and inviting, with free flow to the charming back garden (there's also a larger garden). But what truly makes Jesters stand out is its people. We received phenomenal support from the Business Manager, who goes above and beyond to assist and welcome parents. The Danbury team are also incredible. They're so lovely and warm, and clearly excellent practitioners. We're so happy with the high standard of care, the well-planned and engaging curriculum, and the terrific communication with parents (in person and via the app). Our daughter (who is naturally very shy) settled straight away. I've never seen her happier to go to nursery. We're so glad we found Jesters!

We received a very warm and friendly welcome from the staff. The way they teach their children to be independent is amazing. Very practical, educational, creative, indoor and outdoor learning. 100% recommendable.
