Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School, Beaulieu

The team are remarkable and he is really cheerful there. We delight in seeing the updates on his app and are pleased with his development. Our son has been attending Jesters Day Childcare centre and Pre-School, Beaulieu for 9 months now and has settled in really well.

The team have taken excellent care of my kids and show care and respect for them and their differences.
The team have increased safeguarding measures and is regularly posting updates about meals, discovering and activities throughout the day.
Thanks to the team.

Leaving your kid at childcare centre for the first time is quite a stressful situation, and I must say that all team at Jesters have been extremely reassuring and have made me sense at ease with this transition. The appearance of Jesters feels very modern with also providing a very warming sense to it. Team are really great at keeping you up to date with their daily activities, very cheerful with this childcare centre. My daughter has started childcare centre at Jesters this year.

My daughter has been there from the get-go! Never any issues!
Will be sad to say goodbye. Definitely suggest sending your kids to this childcare centre. Fantastic childcare centre, excellent team and excellent updates!

All team are so welcoming and truly care. The food is varied and nutritious. When we drop our kids off, they run into the childcare centre, and we don’t worry, as it feels like we are dropping them off to family. My kids have absolutely thrived in this setting.

They have supported him so well and he loves coming to childcare centre now. He has made friends and is keen to tell us about what he has done during his day. He spends plenty of time outdoors and enjoys the activities available to him. The team are consistently available to talk to and nothing is too much trouble. He has settled so well and is loving his days at Jesters. Would thoroughly suggest. My son transferred to Jesters from another childcare centre and all of the team have made the transition so smooth.

We have been delighted by how our daughter has settled in and loves her time there. The management team have navigated some difficult challenges during the pandemic and have had to find their feet, but the care our kid has received has remained outstanding throughout. She skips into ‘school’ (as she calls it) and is consistently smiling when she leaves, which gives us total self‑assurance she is being entertained and nurtured throughout the day. After some initial technical stumbles with their new ‘app’ system, the reports as to how she’s doing come through regularly and with sufficient detail for us to trust the team have everything in hand, and we’re very pleased with how it works. All of the team know our daughter by name, and it’s clear they care about her development and wellbeing. Special thanks to one lady, who she adores. Thanks, Jesters. We moved our daughter to Jesters after a poor journey with a nearby childcare centre.

Thank you for all your efforts, guys!
No money would pay for your efforts – couldn’t be happier with Beaulieu Jesters.
The team are so compassionate and attentive; they all know my son, and they are as excited as me when he does new things.
It’s a home away from home. Fabulous childcare centre, expert and attentive team!

The team were so welcoming and accommodating to help her settle in. They plan a diverse range of activities throughout the day, including outdoor playtime, painting, water playtime, and reading/singing/dancing.
I adore how the garden is a shared space, so my daughter was able to interact and learn from older kids as well as her peers.
The food is great quality and varied, and the childcare centre is now in constant open updates with parents about taking feedback and further improving childcare centre provisions.
They have recently removed the term-time-only provision, which is a shame.
The childcare centre has recently launched a new app to provide live daily updates. The use of this app has been a little bit slow and inconsistent, however, it is improving as they get to grips with the software.
One lady at Jesters (who was in Fawn’s room) is particularly fantastic, and my daughter adores her.
Overall, definitely suggest. I was nervous at first about dropping my one-year-old daughter to childcare centre.

The childcare centre is a bright, open and modern purpose-built setting with generous outdoor space, conveniently situated near the heart of the Beaulieu development. While our son has grown over the last 2 years, so has the childcare centre. Besides a few small teething problems in the early days, Jesters did a excellent job of keeping the show on the road during the pandemic and has definitely come out the other side stronger, more organised and better able to provide outstanding care to its kids. Over the last 6 months, there have been some new team join who are excellent, as well as experienced existing team members with additional responsibilities. The Director of Jesters is passionate about pedagogy and has a positive influence on the culture. The childcare centre is now more connected to parents, optimising updates through Tapestry, drop off/pick-up and periodic parents evening sessions. Would I suggest i? Definitely! My eldest son joined Jesters 2 years ago in the baby room and has worked his way up to the preschool.
