January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended now for 7 years since she was in the baby room. She has made so many friends growing up in the nursery who she has moved through school with. She is now in afterschool and enjoys every minute. Brilliant activities are set up for the kids with trips over the summer! The girls cater for all, afterschool clubs, early pickups and school holidays!

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amJolly Jesters is a 5 star daycare, our daughter has attended for 6 months after not setting into another daycare. Jolly Jesters staff are highly knowledgeable in every field. I love getting my little artwork bundle at the end of the month. This is my first nursery experience and I am thankful to all the staff at Jolly Jesters for making it a positive one for us.

February 3, 2023 at 12:00 amStaff are all incredible. Our child has autism and the staff are so helpful and understanding of the care he needs. They review with us quarterly to let us know how he is progressing and also to advise us on how we can help him develop at home.
The App is fantastic also, being able to log on at work and see what he is up to during the day with photos often uploaded of him doing fun activities.
We could not be happier with Jolly Jesters, we only wish we had started our son with them sooner!

February 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy three children have attended Jolly Jesters. My two youngest are still attending. The staff are amazing. Jolly Jesters feels like a family unit. The kids get so much time outdoors and have so many different activities to do. From the baby room up to the after school, the staff go beyond to help the kids.

February 20, 2023 at 12:00 amI can’t recommend this day nursery enough! The staff are incredibly amazing with my daughter. My child has been attending for 2/3 years now, and the progress in my daughter’s development is amazing! All thanks to the girls at Jolly Jesters. I have applied for my daughter to attend pre-school here as I would be so content knowing she is getting the best care. The staff go above and beyond for all the children, and I can say my daughters built such a loving relationship with all the girls. I also love how they update everything on the nursery pal, I can see every activity, meal and toilet break etc they make sure parents are updated throughout the whole day. I recommend this day nursery 10/10. Lovely building, lovely staff and management, welcoming and overall the best nursery in Dromore. I can’t thank the staff enough for all they do for my daughter.

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little girl attends Jolly Jesters preschool and just started this year! It is her first time in any setting away from me and I was very worried about how she would cope but the staff are amazing at helping her and myself settle! They made the transition very easy for us both! I am so happy with the experience my daughter is having between the activities, learning, outdoor play and trips there is always something new! Thanks girls for all your hard work!

April 14, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son attends the playgroup (preschool) and the staff are incredible. Extremely friendly and caring. I have every confidence in the staff at Jolly Jesters. My son did find it hard to settle at the start and the staff were amazing to him to help make the transition easier for him. It’s a fun environment for the children. The facilities they have are super for little ones. Jolly Jesters is brilliantly run and would highly recommend to anyone looking into any of the units/groups they have on offer.

April 27, 2023 at 12:00 amI have to say, this nursery is outstanding.
My daughter has attended this nursery from a very young age and the girls are fantastic at their job; they go the extra mile for every child and make the parents at ease when they are leaving their child.
I can’t thank the girls enough, this nursery has done so much for the community.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amCan’t fault Jolly Jesters at all, my wee man has been going since 1 year old and is currently in their preschool. I will be using Jolly Jesters for my second child. The girls are all lovely and welcoming and they have cared very well for my son as he always comes home with stories about his day. Would absolutely fully recommend.

June 14, 2023 at 12:00 amMy children attend the nursery and love it. My eldest had a tough time leaving me at first and her settling in took time the girls were amazing with her and so patient in helping to settle her in, and she loves going every day!
My youngest settled well, and it’s down to the enthusiasm and care of the girls in the nursery, he doesn’t even wave goodbye to me because he just wants to start his Jolly Jester day.
It puts me at such ease knowing my children are in great hands, they say it takes a village to raise a child and I’m glad Jolly Jesters is part of mine!
