Review of
Jesters Nursery School Danbury

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Hollie Russell, Servicewide Nursery School & Curriculum Lead at Jesters Nursery School Danbury

That's such wonderful feedback! We're so pleased to hear that your daughter has thrived since joining the School Readiness Programme at Jesters Danbury. It's fantastic to know she loves her time at Jesters and we truly appreciate your kind words about our creative and fun approach to learning. With school approaching, I cannot wait to see her develop even further.

Overall Experience

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.

Our son joined Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School Bicknacre in November 2024, and we've all been made to feel so welcome. Great communication on how he's been settling in, detailed updates on the app, and lovely to know he's experiencing a variety of activities/food/socialising.
Thank you!

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Beaulieu Manager, Manager at Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School, Beaulieu

Thank you for your lovely comments. It is a pleasure to have your little one here with us and we are so happy to hear that the school transistion was a smooth one.

Overall Experience

Fantastic 'Come and see my Classroom' event held at Jesters this evening.
Beautiful setting, professional staff and amazing campfire led by a professional forest school educator.
So lovely to see the nursery fully set up with the lovely activities and staff around to speak with about anything, at

drop off and pick up we collect from outside so it's perfect having the opportunity to 'go inside' on this event and similar, and see where they play and learn.
Really enjoyed the homely feel in the Baby Cottage and the role play hospital in the Squirrels room.
Delicious food on offer which is the same provided to the children!
Lovely autumnal evening followed by toasting a marshmallow!

Reply from Jennie Gregory, Nursery Manager at Jesters Day Nursery & Pre-School Bicknacre

Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to write this review. We really enjoyed this event and having the opportunity to spend time with your family. We can't wait to do it again soon!We love caring for your daughter and having you all in our Jesters family - thank you

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

For the last three and a half years my daughter has attended Jesters Bicknacre and Preschool at Danbury. From her first steps to learning phonics, Jesters has been the most amazing place which will hold a special place in our hearts forever.
Not only do Jesters do everything they can to ensure the

children are thriving and meeting the criteria for their age, they get so many real-life experiences - going on the bus, and visits from a dentist, picnics at the parks and much more!
We could not have asked for anything more out of a nursery.

Reply from Jennie Gregory, Under 3's Nursery Manager at Jesters Day Nursery & Pre-School Bicknacre

Thank you so much for your review. It has been a pleasure to care for your daughter and she will be very missed by all of the team here at Bicknacre and Danbury. We know she will thrive at school, and we are over the moon that we will still be a part of her life in our out of school provision at Bicknacre.

Overall Experience

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 daughter loves going to Jesters at Bicknacre. She attends 2 days a week and is thriving. The staff are amazing. The girls in her room have already built a great bond with her and she loves them. My daughter suffers from multiple allergies and they have handled this well and provided an alternative

suited for her. We love the fact her Nursery has a wonderful outdoor area and they use it in all weathers. They have made my transition to being a first-time working mum a wonderful, seamless one. We love being part of the Jesters Family.

My son is absolutely thriving at Jesters Day Nursery & Pre-School after being there for a couple of months! The girls in the baby cottage are so lovely and have a great bond with him. It's also so lovely to get the updates of what he's been doing throughout the day via the app. What sold it to me was

the large outside area for the children as my son loves being outside, no matter what weather.
It's not easy to leave your baby with someone else but the staff at Jesters has made the transition so much easier and smoother, there's a real family feel there.

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.

Reply from Madeline Barratt, Communications and Compliance Director at Jesters Nursery School Danbury

This reviewer is posting in all our settings in an undeserved attempt to damage our reputation. The well-being and welfare of the children in our care is our prime consideration at all times. It would be inappropriate to address the concerns raised here individually. The issues were fully addressed at the time and any necessary changes were implemented. We're the first to acknowledge any need for change and always work closely with parents to address concerns. Our approach is professional and considered but sadly this isn't always reciprocated by parents despite our best efforts. We acknowledge that not all children are suited to all settings; we simply ask that parents also recognise this and if there is a need to find a more appropriate setting they do so without attempting to damage the reputation of a good provider as this reviewer is trying to do. Our settings speak for themselves and we welcome visitors to come along to have a look and speak with our staff and form their own judgements.

Wonderful nursery with exceptional staff! My baby girl is thriving at Jesters. She loves every single day there! She's come along in leaps and bounds since she started (in January). She's grown in independence and confidence. Her language skills are developing fast: she's using (and trying to say) more

words, and her vocabulary is widening. Her days are both fun-filled and educational. This is thanks to the phenomenal team of highly skilled practitioners. I don't have the words to describe the dedication, warmth, positivity and thoughtfulness of this team. They've exceeded my expectations in every way! Communications with parents are excellent (in person, via the app, over the phone). The team has gone above and beyond to welcome and support us (e.g. with settling in). We feel like family. My baby girl clearly feels loved and well cared for. Her bonds with staff are strong. This is a special nursery in many ways. But for me, the staff make the setting, and here the staff are truly outstanding.

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.
