Review from Antony C (Father of Child) published on 28 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little boy is so happy when he attends his nursery days and is learning so much including the please and thank you song. He is starting to make friends and says how much he loves the staff, especially one certain member of staff.

Ideally, we would love him to attend more days in the future. We recommend it to friends, so lucky he has so much fun!

Amazing nursery. My daughter has enjoyed moving up from the baby room to the toddler room and now to the big room. The staff and management are amazing and responsive. Nothing is too much trouble. Pleased with my daughter‘s development and love all the creative play. Fully recommend.

Overall Experience

My daughter went to Just Imagine Nursery and she loved it, the staff has been amazing, and she still remembers them. Now, my son is ready for nursery and we couldn’t think of any other nurseries. We went for a tour last week and he loved it within 10 minutes! My daughter was also there and she wants to come back because she misses her nursery!

Review from Leah C (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All 4 of my children have attended Just Imagine, my eldest being nearly 13 so they have seen all my children grow up. My twins started here last September and they have settled in very quickly and have progressed so well in the toddler room, the staff is so lovely, caring, and welcoming. Two ladies in particular are fantastic! My girls are happy at Just Imagine and I've never had any issues. The manager also needs a mention as she's brilliant and always goes above and beyond to help, she does a fantastic job making sure the children have a good experience at nursery. I 100% Recommend Just Imagine, the manager and her team of lovely ladies are just the best!

Overall Experience

My son has thrived since attending Just Imagine. The staff treat him like family, and he is always happy and content to go in. He has only attended for a short period but I can already see a difference in his confidence and learning. I would recommend Just Imagine as a nursery.

Great nursery and after-school club setting. Both of my children enjoy their time at Just Imagine and have formed fantastic relationships with the staff and have great bonds with other children. There is so much support from all the staff. There are no negatives.

Review from Sarah P (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl has attended since September 2023 and is in the Big Room for two days a week.
The thing I love the most about this nursery is the wonderful, kind, caring and welcoming staff. I know when I drop her off at nursery, she is in safe hands. She is always happy when I collect her and says she’s had a nice day. It took her a little while to settle into nursery when she first joined but the cuddles and care from the staff members really helped.
The activities that the nursery does with the children are fun and I love seeing what she comes home with. She loves to dance and it’s lovely to see the staff dancing along with her.
We love the dressing-up days.
The room size for a big room is a nice size and loads going on for the children.

The garden may be small but, for me, was reason I chose this nursery so that staff can keep an eye on the children and encourage queuing for the slide etc rather than a huge outdoor area where not all children can be watched at the same time,

Reply from Sid, Senior Marketing Executive at Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery

The staff are amazing. My little girl was so shy and I was so worried about her being with other people other than me, they helped her settle so well and gave her the patience she needed! She comes home wanting to go back every day and even on the weekend. Thank you so much.

Review from Lorena B (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to the Just Imagine nursery for two years now and we are so pleased with nurturing and supportive environment the staff create for her every day.
I love that there are more “organised” sessions with larger groups where everyone learns about a topic a week or for a few weeks, but they also take into account each child’s individual preferences and allow them to grow their own interests. (Hence why my girl has time to draw and colour in about 27849374 masterpieces everyday!).
You can tell the staff really try to create a special experience for the children everyday through creative activities, decor, outside guests etc.

We are definitely going to miss them when she goes to school next year. But we’ll be coming back for after school club!

Reply from Sid, Senior Marketing Executive at Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with Just Imagine Nursery over the past two years. It's lovely to know you appreciate our organised sessions and that we cater to each child's individual interests. We'll miss your family when she transitions to school next year, but we're excited to continue the journey with our after-school club.

Overall Experience

My son started in September and settled in straight away! Everyone was so welcoming and on day one he came out with a best friend. On his first day they said ‘he’s made himself at home’ which is so nice to hear. My son is a little shy at times but he has really come out of his shell so much here in the last few months and we all notice this. So thank you to you all at Just Imagine!

Review from Vaida B (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. My daughter absolutely loves her teachers. She always mentions two particular staff members, they are her absolute favourites. I love to see my daughter having a special bond with her teachers, I think they doing a brilliant job. The manager is very nice and always helpful when you have any questions or if you need any help. Especially if you are a first-time parent like myself. The manager is the person who will explain everything clearly and help you with anything you need to know. I have to mention that the menu given to children is lush. My daughter attending Just Imagine Day Nursery for 2 years already and I never regret choosing this nursery for her. We are very thankful for all staff doing such a great job

Review from Rachael C (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Just Imagine since she was 2. She's now 4 and getting ready to go to primary school and I'm genuinely going to be sad to say goodbye to this setting. My daughter absolutely adores this nursery and all the staff. Who genuinely does care for the kids there, the encouragement, activities and enrichment that she gets are amazing. As a parent, it's always really daunting to leave your kids in the hands of someone else but I know when my daughter is there she is well taken care of, and she loves it. She speaks fondly of her teachers and cannot wait to go in every day. The manager and her team go out of their way every day to make sure they are well taken care of and that us parents are updated making sure we get to see all their early memories when we can't be there. If I could score higher I would.

Review from J E (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son joined this wonderful preschool in January and I have seen him grow in confidence from the day he went in.
He was welcomed with open arms and huge smiles from all staff and children.
He regularly tells me of his achievements and how he makes new friends and plays games.
He had gone from a shy, retired little boy who would hide if anyone spoke to him to bounding around talking to everyone.
It is a warm and welcoming group with the children’s safety and happiness at the forefront.
It is giving him the great start ahead of him starting school.

Thank you to all your staff.

Everyone is friendly, helpful and I trust them all completely. My son is developing really well at the nursery and I look forward to many more years with them. They are consistent with uploading images and videos to the app so I do not worry when I am at work and attending this nursery has given my son lots of confidence for his age. Thank you ladies!

We are always so happy with the nursery. Our little boy loves going in, has a great connection with the staff and runs out beaming! We can now see what he has learnt as he is talking a lot more and remembers more which is so sweet.

The manager is brilliant at sending out information and keeping us updated.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been at Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery since he was 10 months old. He settled into the baby room so well and had an amazing fourteen months in there. He was always happy to go in and had a good bond with all the ladies in the room. Having moved across to the toddler room now, his character is really evolving and he's learning so much. He's so comfortable at the nursery and I barely get a bye as he walks in to have breakfast with his friends. Thank you to all the amazing ladies.

Overall Experience
It’s a big step, leaving your children somewhere new with people you don’t know but the team are so friendly, passionate and caring that trusting them with your children is really easy and our children really look forward to going, which speaks volumes. So much so, that one of mine insists on going back for holiday club now he’s in school!
They have really taken the time to get to know both our children and work on areas where they can help them develop. We also get lots of artwork, messages from management and daily updates on the app on what they’ve been eating etc.

We have been part of the Just Imagine Day Nursery family for nearly two years now and we really struck gold!
