We're been really happy with Jesters Beaulieu and how much our 2 year old has come along there. He is so confident and his speech and even sign language has really improved especially lately. Our son sometimes gets overwhelmed and staff have invited us to meet with them and put in place extra support for him which has really helped. They've really thought about what he needs above the basics of childcare. He loves going in the mornings and is always happy when he leaves.

The team at Jesters have been welcoming and supportive with my child's separation anxiety during the initial days. The level of care given to make sure she was comfortable and settled into the new routine/environment has been outstanding. Even making sure to call and let me know how my child is getting on which was so helpful at that time. Along the way struggles with eating has been kindly supported with adult friendly meal time supervision and encouragement establishing and providing that extra boost to my child's confidence. Overall the team at jesters are very friendly, helpful, supportive and professional, sometimes even taliorling my childs needs on a day to day basis if required. They provide a safe environment for my child and encourage her to excel in a number of interactive and engaging activities. My child has developed confiendence and is thriving. Thank you team for your consistant, outstanding effort and hard work, you are doing a brilliant job. Kind Regards, RH

My son absolutely loves his time at nursery, he really gets so much out of it. He walks in with a smile on his face and walks out with an even bigger one. So thank you very much.

We've had a great experience with Jesters Nursery (Beaulieu setting). The staff are caring, attentive and create a warm, supportive environment where our child has thrived. The outdoor play area is a real highlight. Its spacious, safe, and used regularly to encourage active play and exploration. Jesters also does a fantastic job supporting early learning through fun, well-planned activities that build key skills in communication, creativity, and social development. Communication is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved. We're very happy with the care provided and highly recommend Jesters to other families.

Nothing but good things to say about the Jesters, but more importantly, the staff are all fabulous, every single one. They really care about the children and making sure they are happy and safe. I would recommend it to anybody who asks.

Our son loves Jesters and thrives in their care. He adores his key worker, and I always feel confident sending him in that he's going to have a great day. The activities they offer the kids are so varied, and I feel like his confidence has really come on. Would 100% recommend Jesters.

My daughter joined the preschool room about three months ago, and the team have been fantastic in helping her settle-drop-offs are now a joy. She's so happy there that she often asks to go in on her days off! The staff are caring, supportive, and always ready to help. The activities are curriculum-based, and I've already noticed great progress in her counting and phonics. She especially enjoys the outdoor play and messy activities, which the team actively encourage.

My son has been going to Jesters past 8 months now. I can see there is lots of change in terms of confidence in talking. I also notice him telling me about his learning at nursery and sometimes about new stories. He is always happy to go there and has made many friends whom he names almost everyday. I am glad he loves his nursery time.

My Daughters Wonderful Journey! As my daughter gets ready to move on to her next adventure, I just want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Jesters Nursery. From the very first day, we felt welcomed, supported, and truly cared for. The teachers are warm, nurturing, and incredibly dedicated. My daughter has grown so much, not just in learning, but in confidence and joy. Every morning, she looked forward to coming to school, and that says everything. We're especially thankful for the way the staff communicate with parents and always create a safe, fun, and inspiring environment for the children. From the little songs she brings home, to the friendships she's built, Jesters has been a special part of her early years. A special thank you to one member of staff for her kindness and guidance, to another lovely young teacher, who has become not just a teacher, but a true friend to my daughter. Your care has meant the world to her and to us. Thank you again for everything. We will miss you dearly!

As a parent, choosing the right nursery for your child is such a daunting and nervous time, but I have been so impressed with Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School. Having already seen how well my nephew thrived, this gave me comfort and confidence that choosing Jesters was the best decision for my own child. The staff are amazing, they always communicate well with us and keep us fully updated on how our child is doing each day. My child loves going in and it is very clear that he has such a great bond with his teachers. Since starting Jesters, his learning and development has just grown and grown. As parents, we could not be prouder of how well our child is doing and how well cared for he is by all staff.

Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School Beaulieu is a lovely nursery. Both of my sons have attended and they have thrived under their care. The staff are always very welcoming, warm and caring. Safeguarding measures are excellent. We receive regular updates of activities throughout the day on the app, and at pick-up we get a brief summary of our child's day from staff. My oldest son has recently started Primary School and the transition was very easy with the skills and confidence he gained at Jesters. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Jesters Day Nursery has been a fantastic place for both my son and, before him, my daughter. The staff in every room are incredibly attentive and genuinely care for the children. They encourage learning through play, fostering creativity and curiosity. Also, the nursery is always clean. I genuinely recommend Jesters.

We were a bit nervous about sending our child to nursery at first but within a couple of weeks, we saw how settled he became and he was so excited to go in each morning. He absolutely idolises his key workers and has made some lovely friendships with the other children. Jesters Day Nursery are good at keeping the app up to date with our child's activity throughout the day and we get a full debrief when we come to collect him. Whenever we have any concerns or questions, the staff have always gone above and beyond to help/advise us. I wholeheartedly trust the staff with the safety and welfare of our child. Jesters is perfect for our little boy and I would definitely recommend them as a nursery.

05 September 2023
Average experience. Little consistency in staffing, heavy reliance on agency, and staff get shifted between rooms and sites - at times would question ratios with qualified staff. Poor facilities, often untidy outside and many blankets, toys and books left outside overnight. Unlikely to be cleaned. No good outside facilities compared to neighbouring nurseries. Overly ambitious food menu for little tummies, expensive surplus for funded 3-4-year-olds. Individually staff are nice and capable but would appear little resource to support staff needs or new staffing and old toys and resources used for children which would make things difficult.
