Jesters Day Nursery & Pre-School Bicknacre

When we first viewed Jesters Nursery Childcare @ Bicknacre we knew instantly that we wanted our daughter to attend there. It felt like home from home. Our daughter was born during the pandemic and so had very little interaction with other adults and children however she has settled in so quickly and made some positive relationships with the staff and children. She has grown in confidence since being there and we are really pleased with the progress she’s making. The nursery is located in a lovely setting and the staff are all so helpful, professional and personable.

Jesters Nursery Childcare @ Bicknacre is a wonderful nursery for children, I could not recommend them enough to other parents who are looking for nurseries for their children. Jesters Nursery Childcare @ Bicknacre was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad they were because I couldn’t be happier! The staff are warm, inviting and make you feel at ease when leaving your child or children with them for the day. I remember being shown around by the managing director and she said ‘This nursery is her third baby and it’s not just a business to her’ which is something as a parent, you want to hear and hearing this made me feel even more confident with leaving my child in their care. Jesters Nursery Childcare @ Bicknacre felt like home away from away for me and my baby absolutely loves going there three days a week.

My daughter started nursery at Jesters in Bicknacre about 7 weeks ago. I was worried about sending my child to nursery because I felt guilty that she wasn’t at home with me, however, taking this step has been one of my best decisions. Firstly the nursery is excellent because there is a lot of outdoor space which is used as often as possible. I didn’t want my daughter being stuck inside all day so this was a real win for me when I viewed the nursery. The ladies who work in this nursery are amazing. They were sympathetic to me when I felt sad leaving my daughter, giving me updates through the day on how she was doing and overall caring people, exactly the kind you want to leave your child with. I now drop my daughter off and she happily leaves me and enjoys her day. The improvement in everything she does is astounding. It’s so reassuring to know my child is safe and happy and loves her days at nursery. I would recommend this nursery to any of my friends/family. Thank you so much Jesters.

I currently have two children in Jesters and can’t recommend it enough. Both love their time there and their staff in their respective rooms. I have always felt very informed about how they are getting on through their app updates and termly progress reports and parents evenings, as well as the updates when I collect. I chose Jesters because it was small, and the outdoors was a big part of their philosophy. The kids are always getting fully involved in all the activities they have and come back telling all about their days and what they’ve done (well one of them does). I love all the theme days throughout the year and have never worried about leaving them; they both waltz in confidence as ever after settling showing how comfortable they feel.

Our daughter has been attending Jesters Day Nursery since November 2021, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. I was really apprehensive initially, but our daughter has settled in so well and enjoys her time there. She is always happy at drop off and collections and loves her nursery teacher. The baby nook is a fantastic space, and they have a wonderful outdoor area. All the staff are so kind and caring, which makes it that little bit easier knowing they are so well looked after. Our daughter’s confidence has come on leaps and bounds since starting, which is amazing to see. We couldn’t recommend Jesters more!

Our daughter joined Jesters Pre-School in September 2021. We’re extremely happy with her progress and can’t recommend them enough. The staff are all really friendly, go out of their way to support families and are brilliant with the children. They take part in loads of different activities each day, like art and crafts and fun educational games – the list is endless. The fantastic outdoor space was also a big positive for us because our little girl loves being outdoors. She always comes out with a big smile on her face, which is lovely to see. I also like the fact that they can get my little girl to try different foods as she can be fussy. Highly recommend!
Thank you!

My daughter started this nursery in July 2020 when the nursery re-opened following Covid. I was really apprehensive as she was very upset leaving me and had been nicely settled in her previous nursery, but the staff worked really well to make sure she was settled and adjusted and kept in contact with me, so I knew she was okay once I had left.
The communication on the apps is great – and something I never had with my son at his previous nursery – so this was a huge plus to me when we moved her here as it is great to be able to see what she has been doing all day and what she has eaten.
She absolutely loves coming to nursery and seeing her friends, as well as the teachers, and they have helped so much with starting to be ready to go to school, and she will be sad to leave in August.
Thank you to all of the team, and will always recommend you to any friends if they are looking for a nursery.

Our daughter is very happy at Jesters. She has been going since she was a baby and is going to school next term. Our other baby is going there too into the new baby room. The staff are fantastic, and we have never had any problems which makes us feel safe that our child is very well cared for and learning lots of new things every day. The nursery buildings are lovely, and it’s just like a children’s village as all the buildings are around big central gardens next to fields, so they get to play out in the fresh air every day in a safe and natural environment.

My son has been at Jesters now for nearly 9 months and I am very satisfied with the way he is cared for. We are all protective of our children and I feel he is really looked after here and most importantly safe. His development is logged via the app so we are updated constantly which in modern times is extremely helpful. I must say a particular thank you to my son’s key person at Jesters as our son seems to have created a special bond with her and it seems she is genuinely interested in his development which is nice to see as a parent. All the staff are great and we are always greeted with a smile. Looking after children is a tough task and I am thankful that we have found a place like Jesters that do it so well.

My daughter started at Jesters in October 2022 at 9 months old, and I could not have wished for her to have had a better start! She has settled in so quickly and made so much progress, and I know that is down to the hard work and amount of care from the staff. They were more than happy to follow our home routines and give regular contact throughout the day through the app, and at drop off and collection, they always update us on how her day has been!
She has never been upset or worried to go in – she even cheers when she realises we are in the car park!
I couldn’t recommend Jesters enough – I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a lovely nursery for my daughter!
