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.

Review from T A (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue, has been a long-standing care provider since I moved into the local area of Wickford... my first two children accessed the nursery and holiday club provision for a period of time, followed by my youngest child who currently attends the nursery.
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.

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

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 have received a lot of help from Just Imagine, for which I am grateful to the entire nursery. Thank you very much for everything.

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

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.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery for a few months now, I was nervous at first but I'm so glad we made the decision to send him and we picked the right nursery too! The staff there are brilliant, they communicate well and really have the kids' best interests at heart. My child's development has come on in leaps and bounds since starting there and it's magical to see them grow.

Review from Lucy B (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience
Our son joined Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery in October last year and we've been nothing but impressed.
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!

Overall Experience

The staff are all very friendly and you can really tell how much they all love their jobs and the children in the setting! My son always comes away beaming and loves to try to tell me about all of the exciting things he has done that day. The manager is always on hand to reply to messages and is really helpful. They are also very accommodating to allergies and intolerances and have put my mind at ease many times. Highly recommend this Nursery - you won’t regret it!

Overall Experience

My son is in the toddler room at Just Imagine Wickford and to say he is thriving is an understatement! His speech has majorly improved as was nonverbal when he started and he is now speaking 2-3 words a sentence! He is always so happy to come to nursery and I cannot fault them at all and how much they do for others! Highly recommend!

The manager is so hardworking and understanding, as are all the staff at Just Imagine. My oldest children joined when we first moved to Wickford, and we felt so welcome. I look forward to my youngest joining soon. I know I can trust her to be looked after well and in a safe and fun environment. Most importantly it’s clean and my kids never wanted to leave. Thank you to all the staff!

Review from Toni J (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Just Imagine at Station Ave since she was 8 months old. She's soon to be four and I couldn’t for a second think of any better team to teach, care and love my child. The women who work at Just Imagine are cut from a different cloth, the support they have provided not only to my child but also to me has impacted us as a family hugely and I truly am grateful. Even witnessing how they are with other parents too nothing is ever too much trouble. Every single member of staff is wonderful and worth their weight in gold. My child isn't perfect and I know can at times be a little too strong-willed so I know they haven’t got it easy! But the bond she has with the room staff and also the manager is so special. Truly grateful for everything you have done and continue to do for my family thank you all.

Excellent nursery and staff. My son is 3 and a half and he is very shy, the teachers really help him to open up every day more and more. We really love the nursery, and highly recommend it. He loves his teacher.

I’m really glad I picked this nursery for my son, being the timid little boy he was before he started he has progressed so much since going there I can’t thank the staff enough for bringing him out of his shell and being the confident little boy he is now. The staff are so lovely and friendly and I feel so safe leaving my son there under their supervision, my son always comes out so happy and always has a good day can’t thank the staff enough they go above and beyond for the children.
