Overall Experience

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!

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

Outstanding nursery.

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.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending since September 2022. She has grown so much in her confidence as a person and around other adults and children. Every single teacher and staff at Just Imagine has had an influence on my daughter's life and has been involved in the little girl she is today. I am so proud of how far she has come and how well she is doing. I would highly recommend Just Imagine to anyone looking for a nursery. You do a fantastic job with each and every child and parent! Biggest thanks to Just Imagine and all the staff.

The Just Imagine team is absolutely wonderful. Our son has been at the under 2’s baby room for a few months coming from another daycare. He has enjoyed the programming and the teachers are really warm and wonderful with him. He’s settled quite well and we appreciate the attentive nature of the staff.

A home from home! I’ve had three grandchildren through Just Imagine Nursery and I can’t fault it, the staff are attentive, amazing and caring to the children's needs. The children are always happy. The staff offer great advice and support. 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.

My son attends the holiday club at Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery. He has enjoyed getting to know the staff who are always welcoming and friendly towards James. The staff have put on special activities which my son enjoys. He also enjoys the selection of toys on offer and the use of the outdoor garden.

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. Would definitely recommend.

Overall Experience
Our little boy loves coming to nursery. He first started when he was 6 months old and he is truly thriving. Having nevet experienced going to or knowing anyone who has had a child attend a nursery I was nervous, but they are amazing.

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.

Overall Experience

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 which is great. I would recommend Just Imagine to all!

Overall Experience

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.

Review from M M (Mother of Child) published on 7 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

We have used Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery for the last 8 years. My eldest daughter started there when she was 3 years old and thoroughly enjoyed her time there up until 11 when she joined secondary school. My youngest daughter now attends and has been going since she was 9 months old. She is now 5 and attends school club. This is a fantastic nursery and the staff and carers look after the children so well. I couldn’t recommend Just Imagine enough.
