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.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your daughter adores Just Imagine and the caring staff. It's lovely to know she looks forward to each day and speaks fondly of her teachers.
When my son started at this nursery he has come on leaps and bounds. Thank you to all the staff for making him feel so welcome in this lovely setting I like to call my son’s second home. The manager is always on hand if you have any problem big or small.

Both my children have attended Just Imagine Station Avenue, and I could not recommend it enough. All staff are lovely and are kind and caring. Both my children settled in well with my second being just 6 months old when she started.

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.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear how much your son has flourished since joining our preschool in January. It's wonderful to see his confidence grow and how he's embraced the welcoming environment with open arms.

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.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little one loves coming to the nursery and appreciate your kind words about the team.
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...
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!

We have been attending the nursery now for many years and have had many different staff all caring for our children. They are all very friendly, helpful and always put our children's needs first. My children love attending the nursery and we are very happy leaving them in their care.

The care and development of my children is brilliant. I always feel 100% confident they will be well looked after. They do a variety of activities and my child always talks about what they have done that day. My children are very happy to come to nursery every day.

The team at...
The team at Just Imagine - Station Avenue are an amazing set of women/workers and truly care for the children as if they are their own.
The manager is wonderful and has always been accommodating, especially when I have requested to reduce or increase days, and she always makes an effort to answer any questions I might have to the best of her ability.
The level of communication via the use of the app and also face-to-face contact is consistent, even as busy as the team are, they are approachable, friendly and caring.
My daughter is always eager to attend nursery, especially when it's her day off, she will constantly be asking if she is going to nursery that day.
Thank you to the manager and the entire Just Imagine team.

I would like to highly recommend Just Imagine to other parents. Please don't even hesitate and immediately enrol your child in such a wonderful nursery. My daughter is extremely happy to attend there. The staff is very dedicated to taking care of the children. The teachers are delightful, friendly, and always reliable. Personally, I believe it's the best nursery in all of Wickford, if not Essex. The management responds to inquiries promptly and is always dependable.

I couldn't think of a better nursery for my son to go to, at first he had trouble settling in and it took a while but now he doesn't want to come home most days. One of the staff members is his favourite teacher. He's improved so much that he's trying to talk more. His behaviour has changed, and he wants to learn more things now. The nursery is so understanding and patient with him.

My daughter has just started nursery and thank you to all the staff she has settled beautifully and they said “It’s like she’s always been here” but I think that’s down to them being so welcoming and making it feel like home from home. Also as a parent, it can also be hard with the nursery transition and the support I have been given with reassurance made me feel really comfortable and relaxed about it!

It took less than a week for him to smile at two members of staff and the rest of his regular carers. Everyone seems to genuinely care for the children and it makes our lives that much easier.
The regular updates on all the activities he participates in are greatly appreciated as well. Keep up the great work team!
