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!

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.

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.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are grateful to be a part of your daughter's journey since she was 8 months old. It's lovely to know that our team's dedication to teaching, caring, and loving your daughter has made a significant impact on your family.
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.

Everyone is just amazing. The manager helped us so much with both my little ones and we are so very thankful for her.My daughter was terrified starting nursery and they have managed to settle her very quickly. The layout is great! Lots to do for the children and they offer other great experiences such as this month they have a company coming in to do a petting experience. I would recommend to anyone around Wickford to join Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery.

A diverse nursery where children can be themselves and make friends, the nursery offers a healthy well balanced variety of foods with structured play and activities.
Thank you for the review and for being part of our nursery family.
My child found it super easy to settle in after moving to Wickford. She has made huge noticeable improvements in various areas of her development and is now almost ready for school, thanks to the team!

Amazing nursery! Staff are so lovely and very welcoming. They’ve helped my little boy in so many ways. My son is a very fussy eater and since going to this nursery he has eaten all different kinds of food and I couldn’t thank them all enough. They are all great at their jobs. He loves going there....

My son is always well-fed and happy upon pick up and they have been really amazing with any bumps he takes due to recently finding his feet. They are prompt with a call and complete accident forms and update upon collection. He really loves all the team and think we have only had one instance of tears on drop off, which is amazing, since he started. Thank you.
Hello, thank you for this wonderful review! We are delighted your little one is having a good experience at our nursery and love reading feedback like this!
I can’t speak highly enough of Just Imagine. Both my daughters have attended full time since the age of 1 and both have been so happy there. The staff are amazing, and my girls love them all like they are family. There seems to be a very low turnover of staff, so the children can form strong bonds...

We have used Just Imagine for 5 years now, our eldest still attends afterschool club and our youngest is in the main nursery, having been through both the baby and toddler room. Both our boys have allergies and the staff have been absolutely fantastic in catering to their needs so that they don't feel too different from the other children. The boys rave about the staff and have always been very happy and settled. The communication is great and we always feel fully briefed on any changes or issues that might affect us as a family. I never hesitate to recommend the nursery, no the building isn't flashy but my goodness the love, care and consideration for the children is amazing.
Hello, Thank you for your lovely review and it so nice to have a parent with us this long. We are so happy to hear that all your little ones enjoy their experience at our nursery.
I am very pleased with this nursery and all the staff. On her first day, my little one cried for all her setting hours but the girls tried to kindly integrate her and make her feel better and I was crying outside. Now after more than one year, she’s going there with confidence and she can’t wait to...
I am very pleased with this nursery and all the staff. On her first day, my little one cried for all her setting hours but the girls tried to kindly integrate her and make her feel better and I was crying outside. Now after more than one year, she’s going there with confidence and she can’t wait to play with her friends. Also, she’s speaking or even singing in English to me, even if at the beginning she was saying just 3-4 words (English is her second language). So well done to all the staff for the good work and all that I can say is a big thank you.
Thank you for the review and lovely to see your daughter growing with so much confidence.
