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!

Our daughter recently transitioned from another nearby nursery to Jesters Danbury & we are extremely happy with the care and support they provide. 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.

Recently moved to Jesters from another nursery and the difference is just amazing! Every day is a new activity and learning so much! So much care for the kids and get so many updates everyday. 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.
12 March 2025
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.

My son has been with them for 1 year. Was good at the start but when one of the managers left everything was so bad. Three months ago they didn’t put my son's medicine in his bag and I had to call 111 for emergency medicine, they put wet clothes in his school bag without putting them first in a plastic bag, they called me to pick up my son because they say he getting over-excited. It is just disgusting, if you love your child please don’t bring here. Update, in the end I have to take my son out of this place for his best.
20 September 2023
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!
26 June 2023
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.

My daughter has been going to Jesters Montessori Inspired Nursery School Danbury for a few weeks now and comes home telling me and her dad how much she has enjoyed it. She tells me how she gets there in the minibus and that she loves sitting in there and looking at where they are going. She talks about it all the time and she loved having her tea there as well.
22 February 2023
The school readiness sessions have been really helpful in getting her prepared for school. She enjoys her Wednesday's out in a new setting along with her friends. I think the change in environment is good and will support and ease the transition to the reception.

We have had over four years of experience with Jesters Montessori Inspired Nursery School Danbury and have returned this school year with our third child. I have always found the Jesters wider team to be so friendly and approachable with any questions. The team at their Danbury site are superb. Always professional, caring and open to any feedback. Parents are constantly updated daily with your child's progress. They run lots of different tasks from painting, baking, and gardening and more recently have introduced a school readiness programme which I am sure will help my child in his transition to school in September. I have only praise and my happy child at the end of the day is thanks to the lovely ladies there. Thank you to the staff at Danbury for making this stage a memorable and lovely experience.
09 January 2023
We hope to see a few more children join the nursery in the new year. The staff are all very good and can't help enough. Many thanks.
