Our Summary
About Us
Jesters are blessed to have two nursery settings in the adjacent villages of Bicknacre and Danbury that provide natural transitions.
Early in 2024, we decided to consolidate and better meet the needs of the children’s age and stage of development with the deployment of our teams in a more targeted manner. We joined Bicknacre and Danbury into one fully integrated early years provision, co-located over two sites.
Home from home environment
Jesters Bicknacre specialises in nurturing our under 3s in our home from home setting with separate baby nook and cottage for our youngest cohort. Children spend their formative years focusing on care, wellbeing and learning in a calm, supportive environment.
Working towards next steps
Every resource we provide works in harmony with children’s development and is chosen to be purposeful as well as fun. This is where the love of learning begins. Our practitioners are excellent at recognising and responding to each child’s unique learning and to support their development further with ‘a little something extra’ – referred to as their ‘Next Steps’.
Our baby and toddler rooms provide space for children to develop their skills and learning whilst exploring our natural and curious resources, carefully chosen to ignite a spark of exploration, whilst our skilful practitioners support and encourage their playful interactions.
Dedicated to School Readiness
Jesters Danbury capitalises on our School Readiness Programme - developed by our qualified teachers. Danbury operates as a distinct and exceptional satellite Nursery School, preparing our pre-schoolers for the transition to primary education.
We welcome both Jesters Bicknacre children transitioning up and new 3-4 year old children wanting to gain the best start on their journey to primary school.
Building futures
We have always promoted aspirational visions and our ethos is influenced by contemporary and forward thinking. To be at the forefront of modern practice and to complement our already successful ‘Hybrid Approach’ to childcare, learning, development and welfare. Jesters really are ‘Building futures for the next generation.’
