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.
Thank you for your lovely review! We appreciate your kind words about the nursery and the team.
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.
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!

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.
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!

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.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little one loves coming to the nursery and enjoys the activities planned for them.
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 have received a lot of help from Just Imagine, for which I am grateful to the entire nursery. Thank you very much for everything.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that your little one is having a lovely experience at our nursery and appreciate your kind words about the team.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review! We appreciate your kind words about the nursery and the team.
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!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that your little one is having a lovely experience at our nursery and appreciate your kind words about the team.
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!

Just Imagine Day Nursery has been amazing! First experience putting our child into nursery, it has been brilliant, have supported and helped with challenges we have faced, our little one really enjoys it. The nursery is so accommodating and will always do their best to help.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little one is having a good experience at our nursery.
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!
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little one is having a good experience at our nursery.
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!
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little one loves coming to the nursery and is thriving.
My little boy has just started in the toddler room here after being in the nursery room. He absolutely loves just imagine. All the girls go above and beyond for my son and I couldn't fault them at all. They are all so attentive and you can tell that they put 100% into everything they do! Thank you so much just imagine! Highly recommend!
