We've now had two children attend this nursery and both have absolutely thrived there. It's a really special place and we feel so lucky to have found it.
The ethos of the nursery, including the focus on a calm, nurturing environment and plenty of time outdoors, really resonates with us. It feels
like such a positive and thoughtful place for young children to spend their days.
All of the staff are incredibly approachable and genuinely seem to care about the children. As a parent, it's such a comfort knowing your child is somewhere they are happy, safe and well looked after.
We recommend the nursery to people whenever we can and feel very grateful that both of our children have had such a wonderful start there.

Only positive things to say about Jubilee Gems. Our daughter absolutely adores it! She has reached so many milestones with the help of the staff at the nursery. The nursery's strong passion for outdoor activities and messy play really make them stand out. The staff are all enthusiastic and totally
adore what they do. The nursery has access to a local farm so the children spend a lot of time outdoors with the animals. The staff keep us updated all day through the app so I'm never left wondering how she's doing. They upload pictures at the end of each day and have a weekly activity focus. They serve nutritious food and support us in every aspect of parenting. We can't thank them enough

I truly cannot say highly enough how wonderful all the staff are. From the very beginning, they have been so nurturing and patient with my daughter, who is a very shy child. They've created such a warm, supportive environment where she feels safe and encouraged to come out of her shell. It's been
amazing to see her confidence grow.
A huge thank you as well to the cooks - since starting in Sapphires, she has become so much more adventurous with food and is now trying so many wonderful new things! It's made such a difference.
She may be very quiet while she's there, but at home she is always full of chatter, excitedly telling us all about her wonderful day. That says everything about how happy and comfortable she feels.

My child has the best experience at her nursery, she talks about all staff fondly and the nursery has really supported her development. All staff smile and say hello on site and look very happy at work. They all know my child's name and interact when they see her. It is a lovely setting for her to
spend her early years.

My little boy absolutely adores this nursery, he has come on leaps and bounds since he has started attending. He is always happy to be dropped off and when he is picked up he is beaming after always having such a fun day. The staff are incredible, friendly and go above and beyond for all the kids. I
cannot rate the nursery enough and I am just so thrilled that we are lucky enough to have our little boy attending and being so well cared for

The team at Jubilee Gems are always going above and beyond for our little girl. Every day she is outside enjoying anything from the farm animals to the mud kitchen. The biggest thank you to the lovely ladies who have helped our girly become the happiest and most confident little person!

We feel so lucky to have our daughter at Gems. From the very beginning, the team have been warm, caring and genuinely invested in her development and happiness.
She absolutely loves the outdoor learning and comes home with the biggest smiles, sometimes with muddy shoes from very serious mud kitchen
baking. It's so clear how much thought and passion goes into each day, from creative activities to nurturing support.
The staff are kind, attentive and truly care about every child as an individual. We've seen her grow in confidence, curiosity and independence, and that means the world to us.
We couldn't ask for a more loving and positive environment for her early years. Thank you for everything you do.

I cannot rate Jubilee Gems enough!
For 3 years they have nurtured my child and supported her to become the confident, strong-willed child that she is. She can often recount stories or key phrases. Her regular visits to the woods have enabled her to discuss different aspects of nature on our walks
and she has a love of baking and gardening due to the regular activities she completes.
All staff on site are polite, friendly and helpful and it has been wonderful to see how much she has grown under her care.

Children are our future, and there is nothing more valuable in our lives than our own. As parents, we do everything to ensure they are safe, happy, and thriving. Choosing a nursery is a deeply important decision, and Jubilee Gems has proven, over the nearly two years that my child has attended, to
be truly exceptional. The nursery offers wonderful facilities where children can explore the outdoors, connect with nature, and engage with animals. This environment encourages curiosity, learning, and confidence. What truly sets Jubilee Gems apart, however, is the incredible team of staff. They are caring, respectful, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of every child. They nurture each child's abilities and help them grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
Every time I drop off my daughter, I feel complete peace of mind, knowing she is in the best hands. That trust and confidence is exactly why my second child will also be joining Jubilee Gems next year.

I genuinely do not have enough nice things to say about this nursery. I highly recommend it to all. I was quite nervous sending my first child at 10 months, but she has been eager to go in and see her friends and the staff every single time. They are endlessly cheerful (I do not know how they do it
personally), and have taught my child so much. The kids are outside every day come rain or shine, and have loads of opportunities to visit the farm and the woods, seeing different animals and exploring the wild in so many ways, this was very important to us as it meets our own ethos.
They have a useful app and list what they had for meals, sleeps, bathroom visits and photos of what they have been up to - this helps when she claims she hasn't eaten and is so hungry! Nice try kid.
She has really thrived here. I very much hope, and fully expect my second child will thrive too come next September! Thanks team for all you do, you really are brilliant!

Jubilee Gems is an amazing nursery. My child has been there since Feb 2025 and has developed so much with the help of the awesome practitioners! They spend so much time outside and exploring as well as carefully chosen activities. It was such a great choice choosing this nursery!

Jubilee Gems is an absolute gem of a nursery. I tell everyone how lucky we are to have the opportunity to send our little boy to Jubilee Gems. The staff are very caring and nurturing, from settling in to the events they organise to the daily updates in person and on the app. They are so enthusiastic
and you can tell they love working at Jubilee Gems. On top of that, the children have access to brilliant outdoor space which they visit regularly, including a farm and woodland. I love picking up my little boy at the end of the day, the atmosphere is so relaxed and it truly feels like home from home.

Our little girl has been at Jubilee Gems since she was 9 months old and absolutely loves it. She skips in every day and is full of stories and experiences at pick up. The nursery team are so loving and they create the most wonderful messy play trays and music sessions and outdoor learning
opportunities every day. Our girl has especially enjoyed her trips to the library and visiting the elderly people with whom she loves to play. The entire nursery is well run as is every individual nursery room. Each member of staff knows every child by name and it really does feel like a family. I drop off every morning with complete confidence that my daughter will explore, learn, be inspired and very well fed! The nursery cook is fantastic and her 'chicken curry' is an absolute favourite. The children get involved with preparing food on some days and do baking. All round it's 5 stars from us! *****

My son began Jubilee Gems at 8 months old. The staff team have been so supportive to us as a family, and shown our child so much care and provide an amazing range of learning and fun activities for all the children everyday. The outdoor space is just fanastic, and the farm and woodland trips are an
extra special bonus, with the additional play areas and all the animals. A fantastic nursery set in beautiful country side, the whole staff team are friendly and happy, and its lovely to see all the children entering or leaving the nursery happy and excited. Everyday the food sounds nutritional and delicious, and catered for any dietary requirement. The app they use means constant communication, which is lovely peace of mind while we are at work. We can't recommend Gems enough, and are so glad we chose them to help raise our little boy.

Excellent nursery. My little girl is incredibly happy and loves going into nursery. The staff who care for her are very loving towards her and always very welcoming which helps her to feel settled. The activities provided each day are always varied and they spend a fair amount of time both outdoors
and indoors, as well as going on trips to the farm. The learning experiences are outstanding and I've seen my daughter progress massively in the short time she has attended Jubilee. I am overall happy with the care and experiences that my daughter is provided with, and we will continue to use the nursery for as long as we possibly can.
07 August 2025
Superb nursery. All of the staff are lovely and helpful. My daughter has enjoyed going over the last year, she was unsure at first as it was a new experience and had a few tears on a few occasions but each time, the staff supported her and made her feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this
nursery to anyone. I love how they're not stuck indoors all day, they get out explore the woods and surrounding areas and go for day trips. I wish my little one could've stayed here longer!
07 August 2025
My son started at Jubilee Gems in the Spring, we have been amazed by the care he has received. We love the daily updates and personal touches from the staff at pick ups and drop offs. I love the amount of time he spends outside. Love it, would highly recommend.
07 August 2025
Jubilee Gems is amazing with the most caring staff. All 3 of my boys have been loved and cared for by the most amazing staff that care for your children like they are their own. They have been the start of my children's learning and exploring that every parent would love for their child! They have
amazing facilities including the most magical woods and farm! All my children love this nursery and every day they have the most wonderful time doing the most amazing things.
07 August 2025
From the very first session, our child absolutely loved this nursery - he settled in straight away, which says everything about how warm, loving and kind the staff are. They made us feel so welcome from the beginning and clearly treat every child with such genuine care and attention. It truly feels
like a home away from home.
One of the standout things about this nursery is their incredible outdoor space and farm. The children get to spend time outside every day, rain or shine, which we absolutely love. Visiting and interacting with the animals is such a unique and enriching experience.It's a magical part of their day that we feel so lucky to have found.
Communication with the team is always quick and thoughtful - whether it's a little update or answering a question, they're always happy to help and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable, kind hands.
We're beyond grateful for everything the nursery has done!
