Just imagine Station avenue have now looked after two of my children and I'm always confident that my daughter is happy and well looked after in their care. She always comes out happy and enjoys her days at the nursery. The team are so friendly and supportive.
Were so pleased to hear that your daughter is happy, enjoying her days, and feels well looked after thats exactly what we strive for every single day.
Beautiful nursery - makes the best of their space and my son loves every minute there - he literally skips in! As parents being pumped with awful stories over the media, its hard to trust people to keep your children safe and happy - I have no concerns with the wonderful staff at Just Imagine. Thank you from Arthur and mummy x
It truly means the world to us to hear that Arthur skips in every day - that's exactly the feeling we hope every child has when they walk through our doors! Knowing that you feel confident, reassured and happy with the care we provide at Just Imagine Nursery is the greatest compliment we could receive.

Massive thank you to all the staff.
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your little one enjoys coming to nursery and that she's always excited to see her teachers. Knowing that she feels happy, safe, and well-looked after is the best reassurance we can receive.
The staff have been absolutely amazing with my little girl and getting her settled in. They have always been so nice and have eased all of my anxieties as my little one has always been quite clingy and not been away from me much. Cannot fault them and highly recommend the nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our team has been able to support both you and your little girl during her settling-in period. We understand how important it is to create a comforting and nurturing environment, especially for children who aren't used to being away from home. It's wonderful to know that our team have helped ease your worries.
The staff are amazing, kind, caring and overall just the best. I could ask for a better place for my child to go. She has developed so much since starting nursery and comes out with smiles on her face. It's like home away from home.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so happy to hear how much your child is thriving and enjoying their time with us. Our team takes great pride in creating a kind, caring, and nurturing environment, so your kind words are incredibly rewarding.
Wonderful nursery with a friendly team and engaging. My child enjoys going and is happy when he comes home. Plenty of activities and artwork that then comes home. Good food and again my child always eats well
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled to hear your child enjoys their time at the nursery, the activities, and the meals. It's wonderful to know they're happy and thriving.
My 2 year old started Nursery in September and settled instantly! Her settlers week was a slightly tough one she would cry as she went in for all 3 of the days but it goes to show just how amazing and gentle the staff are with the children as on her official starting week she was so happy to be back! She has also been allocated the loveliest key worker I couldn't fault her myself. I might be bias but my daughter is the most clever little girl I know and this nursery has truly helped her to excel in everything she is doing. I have been to an open day and met some of the staff myself and they are all so warm and welcoming. They are naturals! I would send every single one of my little darlings to this nursery! The outside isn't huge but it's big enough for my daughter. She loves being in the nursery garden, and if it's enough for her it's enough for me and they always give them lots of activities to do outside, and they'll never get bored! Also very reassuring and efficient with allergies!
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful feedback! We're delighted to hear how quickly your daughter settled in and how much she enjoys her time at the nursery. It's wonderful to know our team's gentle and caring approach helped her transition so smoothly, and we're thrilled that her key worker has made such a positive impact.
Our son started in October 2024 and he's settled really well. All the staff are lovely and really supportive, and I know my little guy is really well taken care of, he does so many activities he wouldn't get to do with me. The (manager) is also really passionate about the nursery and I feel like I could talk to her about any issues (not that I've had a need to). We'd recommend it to anybody.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that your son has settled in so well and that you feel confident in the care and support provided by our team. It's fantastic to know he's enjoying a variety of activities and thriving in the nursery environment.
My little man loves nursery. The staff are so accommodating to his needs, they know him as a little person and they are genuinely pleased to see him. I trust all the staff, have a good relationship with them all and I'm happy to leave my boy with them. Feedback is always consistent as is communication too. Managers are excellent at picking up queries and acting fast on them. So happy I chose this nursery.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're so pleased to hear that your daughter has settled in so well and is happy and excited to come to nursery each day. We know how challenging separation anxiety can be, and it's wonderful to hear that our team has helped ease that transition for her.
I just wish I could be fed 3 delicious meals and snacks throughout the day! Do you accept adults? Thank you for taking care of our son.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're so happy to hear that your son has settled in so well and is now excited to come to nursery. We understand how tough those early days can be, especially when illness comes into play, but we're so glad our team was able to reassure you and keep you updated.
We particularly like the engagement and good communication provided by the nursery.
We are also seeing a huge improvement in our daughter's communication ability. Very pleased.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback!

The staff are like family to our son who goes to the nursery 4 full days per week. He is always happy to go in when we arrive and smiling when we turn up to collect him. Friendly, organised and helpful!

My daughter and I come from France and we live in Wickford, Just Imagine is a reference in this field. A little disoriented, but it was a friend who encouraged me to go to Just Imagine and that was the catalyst for my 6-year-old daughter loved the manager and his team, they are fantastic.

Just Imagine is a fantastic nursery. Both my children have attended here, and my eldest being 13 and my youngest currently attends. I cannot fault the staff; they go above and beyond, and the way they care for the kids like they are their own is priceless. Whilst at work, I have complete peace of mind that my daughter is well looked after and cared for. Over the past ten years, I have used this nursery (for both children), both myself and my husband have built up great relationships with all the staff and are now more like friends. I highly recommend Just Imagine; it is one of the best nurseries around!
