Here is my understanding: It depends on the century, but generally speaking Yeoman are middle class landowners who do not have tennants. They may have owned between 300 and 1000 acres. Those who did much of the labor themselves may have been looked on by upper middle class landowners- those with tennents and between 1000 and 3000 acres- as privilaiged members of the working class (rather than the middle class) because of the type of labor they performed. Wealthier Yeoman could afford to higher laborors to do most of this work, and were probably regarded as respectable by the gentry and enviable by the working classes. They may have typified middle class English identity in the countryside.
It is worth noting, however, that I stumbled on this question because I have been trying to come up with a satisfactory answer to this question myself and all of the above claims should be checked with further research.
Yeomen were mostly farmers. They were considered to be a step above freemen or tenant farmers, who paid rent in money, who were, in turn, a step above most serfs. The yeomen were actual owners of small holdings of land, but land holdings small enough that they were not landlords themselves. They had laws requiring them to train for warfare, to own a longbow and sword, and so on.

There was no particular class associated with nuns in the Middle Ages. Nuns were not technically members of the clergy, even if they were highly educated. They could have come from backgrounds that were peasant, noble, or even royal. But technically, they had no class. Perhaps this would make them fit some definitions of the middle class, but middle class implies things that do not fit well with what a nun was.

Jesters were middle class people. In order to do their work, they could really not be serfs. But they could also not be members of the nobility. There were quite a few middle class people in the Middle Ages, despite what some people would think. Anyone who was not working as a laborer for hire, and was not a member of the nobility, would have been middle class, and that would have included merchants, craftsmen, bakers, inn keepers, surgeons, attorneys, stewards, and so on. Jesters fit in with them.
