Thank you Melanie for your review, we are really sorry that you have not been happy with Jesters, we have sought to address the issues you have raised and have been working hard behind the scenes to follow up on feedback received.
We have now streamlined our email addresses to ensure correspondence is dealt with promptly by our office team. We have adapted our invoices to be clearer based on feedback. We have had to review our prices like many other businesses to be sustainable in a difficult financial period coming out of a pandemic, with many costs going up including electricity, food and other charges. We are a community interest company so increases are not made for financial gain but purely to be sustainable and to support the business.
We had to make changes to our drop off and pick up due to COVID-19 but have recently made changes to this process which mean that our families do not have to wait as long to collect their children and we have received positive feedback on this so far

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.357) out of 10 for Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School, Beaulieu is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.604 for Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School, Beaulieu is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.604
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 4.753 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School, Beaulieu is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 73 number of registered child places is 14.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.6 = 0.753
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery & Pre-School Manager and SENDCO
Joined: 2021
My role at Jesters is Beaulieu Manager and SENDCO (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities Co-ordinator). I started my career at Jesters in the Fawns Baby Room as a Practitioner, and after a few months, I was promoted to Room Leader in Squirrels. Following on I worked my way to Deputy Manager and now Manager. I am lucky enough to be surrounded by wonderful mentors who have helped me grow my leadership and management skills, as well as sharing years of childcare and education knowledge.
The reason I chose Jesters is because of the feeling of home it provides me, I feel inspired and enthusiastic about every day, and I can tap into many different areas of my training within my roles. I love being part of the children’s journeys, supporting and encouraging them to meet their next steps, creating wonderful activities and creating a home-from-home environment. I have been supported through every new role that I have undertaken at Jesters.
Jesters has given me the skills and confidence to progress into a role that I have always dreamed about doing.
Job Title: Head of Education
Joined: 2019
Hello, I’m Rachel, Head of Education at Jesters. I have over 12 years of experience in childcare and education and have taught in both nursery and school settings. I am passionate about child development and will always go above and beyond to ensure that all children are provided with exceptional learning and care opportunities.
I am part of the leadership teams at all Jester's settings. My role is to shape education and the curriculum across the service. I have Early Years Professional status.
Job Title: Servicewide Nursery School & Curriculum Lead
Joined: 2022
Hello, I am the Servicewide Nursery School & Curriculum Lead developing and nurturing our Jesters pre-schoolers. I have always had an immense passion for helping others and making a difference, and because of this, I always knew I wanted to work with children, positively impacting their lives and helping them thrive and learn.
Growing up, I always admired my teachers and couldn’t wait until I could inspire other young children too. I completed my University Degree in Early Years and Primary Education and QTS Qualifications, and have been working in childcare and education since 2014. I have loved every minute and continue to do so here at Jesters.
