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!

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.

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.

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!

Sending our daughter to Jubilee Gems was the best decision we could have made! She has loved every minute of her time there and is leaving so confident and ready to start her next adventure at school. Children absolutely thrive in the wonderfully caring and nurturing environment provided here. I recommend it to everyone!

Our little boy has been going to Jubilee Gems since January and we couldn't have chosen a better place for him to be. He is constantly cared for by such amazing wonderful staff not just in his nursery room but from the management team right through to the kitchen staff. Everyone is just so friendly and caring which makes it easier knowing I'm leaving him in such great hands every day. Jubilee Gems love outdoors and whatever the weather they spend a great amount of time outdoors, whether it's the farm or trips to woods or just time in the garden. They're always spending time outside, enjoying watering plants to playing in mud kitchen or a bit of messy play. We also really love the daily themed messy trays which include a wide variety of sensory activities for him to enjoy. If you're looking for a nursery I highly recommend jubilee gems they are incredible throughout.

I'm so happy to have found Gems after friends recommended it. My son settled quickly due to the excellent, daily care he receives from the Sapphire team. He loves attending and runs in the door each morning. The team are kind, caring and knowledgeable. There's a vast amount of activities provided each day across the areas of the curriculum which excite and engage him. I love the nursery's ethos and we enjoy reading the daily posts and discussing his day- he often asks to do this. I've noticed how much knowledge he has picked up from being outside which is about nature, wildlife and the vegetables they grow. He thoroughly enjoys his trips to the woods & farm, he talks about his visits and forest school. The varied, nutritious meals were a selling point as he often has hot teas as well as lunches. The children are encouraged to try foods. There are wonderful events to attend with your child such as the winter walk and Mother's Day. This nursery is really special. I can't praise it enough.

We are really happy with the care our son receives at Jubilee Gems. The staff prepare a variety of exciting and developmentally appropriate activities every day and communicate what they have done so that we can talk about this as a family. I love how much time they spend outdoors and getting messy. Everything seems to be child led and the staff always seem to be genuinely enjoying themselves when interacting with the children. I visit a lot of nurseries in my work and Jubilee Gems is by far the best I have seen!

The nursery is a fantastic outdoor nursery and promoting how important it is for children to be outside connecting with nature. The care for the children is always the number one priority and the staff always go above and beyond.

Our daughter loves her time here and has grown so much from the expert care she has received in the last two years. Amazing staff who are fun and thoughtful, creative and caring - it is a really special place!

We are so happy to have found Jubilee Gems. The comfort of being able to send our son to a nursery that we feel so at ease with and we know he loves so much is such a relief. We are constantly telling people how lucky we feel to have found such a great nursery. We love their ethos and enjoy reading the daily posts of what our son's class gets up to everyday. There is a strong focus on being outside as much as possible and lots of activities based around learning about wildlife and nature. The staff are all lovely and it’s wonderful to see our son bond with them and talk about them at home. We always highly recommend this nursery to anyone who asks and are excited for when our second child starts attending next year.

Excellent nursery. Staff are great and the experiences and Early Years Foundation Stage stuff they do are great. Our daughter loves it and has really helped her development. The food is nutritious and varied and children are encouraged to try. The nursery also put in great events including winter walks and other special events such as Father's Day, Mother's Day etc.
