November 9, 2020 at 12:00 amJesters have been amazing at looking after my 2-year-old daughter since September. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. My daughter enjoys her time at nursery and has settled in really well. The staff go above and beyond to support her and make her happy. I would highly recommend Jesters at Beaulieu to everyone.

March 3, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been going since the age of 2, she is now in her last year before going on to reception and she has really flourished.
She has made so many friends along with great relationships with all the members of staff.
Every morning she goes in happy and bubbly to see her friends and comes out even more happy and bubbly from having a great day.
The staff always keep us up to date with our daughter’s progress, what she’s done during the day either when picking up or via Tapestry.
The kids also have a good range of meals for them to try (they’ve even got my daughter eating fruit and veg!) and they cater excellently for the ones who have any form of allergies.

March 3, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son started at Jesters in December when he was 9.5 months old and we are so happy with our choice of nursery! The amount of progress he has made since starting has been amazing! The staff are great and very approachable. It is lovely to see the updates on the app throughout the day, it puts our minds at ease knowing he is happy and content there.

March 3, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy loves going to Pre School, he gets very excited, this is a testament to the nursery. There is no better feeling when you know you’re leaving your son in safe hands and leaving him somewhere he enjoys to go.
All the staff are friendly and helpful, they take a genuine interest in the well-being of your child.
My older son goes to holiday club, he was very upset to hear he couldn’t go this half term due to COVID rules! But I’m sure when they can resume the club he will be very excited.

March 3, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter is just loving going to Jesters! Such a great nursery, at the very beginning they’ve done brilliantly to comfort her and help her to settle well. Our daughter is a fussy eater, at Jesters they have really helped improve her eating habits so we are very thankful for that! Overall, great staff, very friendly, highly qualified and always ready to help. Thank you, Jesters!

My daughter does so many activities and has learnt so much already from the pre school! Highly recommend!

September 17, 2021 at 12:00 amMy eldest son joined Jesters 2 years ago in the baby room and has worked his way up to the preschool. The nursery 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 nursery. Besides a few small teething problems in the early days, Jesters did a great 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 children. Over the last 6 months, there have been some new staff join who are great, as well as experienced existing staff members with additional responsibilities. The Director of Jesters is passionate about pedagogy and has a positive influence on the culture. The nursery is now more connected to parents, optimising communication through Tapestry, drop off/pick-up and periodic parents evening sessions. Would I recommend i? Definitely!

January 25, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has started nursery at Jesters this year. Leaving your child at nursery for the first time is quite a stressful situation, and I must say that all staff at Jesters have been extremely reassuring and have made me feel at ease with this transition. The appearance of Jesters feels very modern with also providing a very warming feel to it. Staff are really good at keeping you up to date with their daily activities, very happy with this nursery.

February 2, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son transferred to Jesters from another nursery and all of the staff have made the transition so smooth. They have supported him so well and he loves coming to nursery 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 staff are always available to talk to and nothing is too much trouble. He has settled so well and is loving his days at Jesters. Would thoroughly recommend.

February 21, 2022 at 12:00 amWe moved our daughter to Jesters after a poor experience with a nearby nursery. 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 child has received has remained outstanding throughout. She skips into ‘school’ (as she calls it) and is always smiling when she leaves, which gives us total confidence 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 progress and wellbeing. Special thanks to one lady, who she adores. Thanks, Jesters.

February 21, 2022 at 12:00 amStaff are exceptionally good. Management needs significant improvement as communication is not transparent and parents are not involved. Slow to answer standard inquiries and answers are incoherent and inconsistent. Invoices are difficult to understand. Steep price increases for no additional value. Parents wait 10-25 min on average every day outside in the cold to collect their kids.

April 21, 2022 at 12:00 amAbsolutely delighted since our 1-year-old started in January 2022. All staff are friendly and accessible, and our son is coming on leaps and bounds developmentally. Not only that, he’s obviously so happy attending each day as, at pickup and drop-off, his relationship with the staff is lovely to see.

July 5, 2022 at 12:00 amWonderful nursery, great staff and great communication! My daughter has been there from the get-go! Never any issues!
Will be sad to say goodbye. Definitely recommend sending your children to this nursery.

July 5, 2022 at 12:00 amI was nervous at first about dropping my one-year-old daughter to nursery. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating to help her settle in. They plan a diverse range of activities throughout the day, including outdoor play, painting, water play, and reading/singing/dancing.
I love how the garden is a shared space, so my daughter was able to interact and learn from older children as well as her peers.
The food is good quality and varied, and the nursery is now in constant open communication with parents about taking feedback and further improving nursery provisions.
They have recently removed the term-time-only provision, which is a shame.
The nursery 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 wonderful, and my daughter adores her.
Overall, definitely recommend.

July 5, 2022 at 12:00 amMy children have absolutely thrived in this setting. All staff are so friendly and truly care. The food is varied and nutritious. When we drop our children off, they run into the nursery, and we don’t worry, as it feels like we are dropping them off to family.

July 11, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff at the nursery are all so friendly and always professional. They genuinely care about my son, and his key workers have all been amazing. As a mother on her own, the support from this nursery is everything to me. They support my son’s learning, and he is so happy there. He forms friendships and learns valuable social skills. The meetings to discuss his progress are regular and well thought out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery. For my son and I, it is a real source of happiness in our lives. We love the nursery and all the staff.

October 27, 2022 at 12:00 amAnother wonderful experience at Jesters stay-and-play. I’m always blown away by how fantastic all the nursery teachers are and how well they know the children and engage with them. Thank you for making us feel so welcome at the session this morning and for all the fun activities. My son Alistair and I had a lovely time.

November 23, 2022 at 12:00 amFabulous nursery, professional and caring staff!
Thank you for all your efforts, guys!
No money would pay for your efforts – couldn’t be happier with Beaulieu Jesters.
The staff are so kind and caring; they all know my son, and they are as excited as me when he does new things.
It’s a home away from home.

November 23, 2022 at 12:00 amThe team have taken great care of my children and show care and respect for them and their differences.
The team have increased safeguarding measures and is regularly posting updates about meals, learning and activities throughout the day.
Thanks to the team.

June 16, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has been attending Jesters Day Nursery and Pre-School, Beaulieu for 9 months now and has settled in really well. The staff are fantastic and he is really happy there. We enjoy seeing the updates on his app and are pleased with his development.
