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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

My child enjoys it very much in the setting and is able to keep stimulated through learning all day. The staff are helpful and friendly, and the environment is clean and inviting. I like that they encourage the children to be independent and involve them in preparing meals.

My daughter has been attending the pre-school for nearly a year now. She loves her time there, I’m really pleased with how happy she is and the progress she has made. The environment is welcoming, exciting and well looked after. The children take part if n a number of activities inside and outdoors. The staff are very friendly, competent and try to bring out the best in each child, depending on their interests and needs. I would highly recommend Jesters.

My son has been going to Jester pre and post-school clubs since he started at junior school nearby. The staff are always kind, helpful and give good feedback on how your child has been that day. My son really likes the staff here and they really do go out of their way to make sure that your child is safe and has fun.

I had both of my children attend Jesters Pre-School and they both loved it there and enjoyed every day. The staff are amazing with the children and it was sad to be leaving for my daughter to go up to primary school but, she was more than ready, all thanks to the staff preparing her for the change and her new adventure. So a huge thank you to all the staff.

My son thrived at The Jesters Pre-school setting in Danbury. He loved everything about it from the lovely friends he made to the themed crafts, planting vegetables and learning to swing in the outdoor area. I was always particularly impressed with the detailed handover which included all he had been doing each day, including trips to the park and library.

Happy to recommend this setting. My twins had a lovely time here and made some lovely friends with whom they continued their friendship at big school.
