My daughter mostly attends the holiday club during school holidays; she loves the activities, food and staff. She has built good relationships there. She comes back with stories to tell; she likes outdoor trips to the cinema etc.

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.
Thank you for the review and choosing Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue for the last 8 years. We are so happy to have your children with us.
My daughter had to change nursery due to me moving. I was so worried for her but they really ease my anxiety and she couldn’t be happier there, 10/10 from me!

They come home and talk about all the things they have done and who they have played with that day, including all the nursery staff.
My child has a few food allergies, but they have catered for these, and they come home with a full belly of food each day.
Great communication from the team, especially the manager; she is so dedicated (sometimes too much, replying to emails late at night and at weekends)!
Could recommend it enough!
Thank you for the review, and great to hear your little one loves the nursery and the staff.

I cannot recommend Just Imagine - Station Avenue enough. I was really apprehensive about sending my little boy to nursery as he was born during the lockdown and didn’t have much interaction with other children. He has only been at the nursery since January, and I cannot believe how much he has developed in those 4-months. When he first joined, I received a starter pack where I was able to put achievements that I wanted from my child. And already, in those 4-months, he has hit those goals thanks to the baby team. The staff are always very polite and do a wonderful job. He loves going to nursery, and his face lights up when he sees the ladies in the morning. I am so glad I took the plunge to put him into the nursery and so glad this was the nursery I chose for my son. Thank you to you all!
Thank you for the review, and it's great to see your child growing and developing. We are happy to hear your goals are being met, and we continue to provide a loving and caring environment.

The manager always helps with any question,s very happy and is a kind person. Big shout out to all the girls in the baby room. Thank you for all the hard work.
Thank you for the review and for saying we are a great nursery. All the staff do a wonderful job, and thanks for the shout out to the girls in the baby room and all the hard work they do.
Couldn’t rate this nursery highly enough! Our child is always engaged in different activities, has made some long-lasting relationships with members of staff and is always happy to go to nursery. The communication from the nursery is always excellent, and I would highly recommend.

Thank you for the review and for recommending our nursery. We love setting up all the different activities for the children to enjoy and are happy to hear your child enjoys them too.
The nursery provided a caring environment for my child, and I was more than happy with the care and support he received during his time here. Development needs are supported well, and he had lots of fun exploring the environment and making friends.

Best nursery ever! Had my son there for school days and holidays, and he misses it when he's not there! Would highly recommend the manager and the team!

The ladies become like family, we are still in contact with some of the ladies that work or worked there.
I would highly recommend Just Imagine to any parent looking for childcare. I can guarantee they will have the best time there with so many memories. If I was ever to need childcare again, they would be my first choice every time.
It's lovely to know that the manager and the team were there for your son and family for all those years and that he's gone on to thrive in his further education. Thank you for your review.
Just Imagine has been amazing. My son attended the nursery then after school club. I cant thank the manager and the team enough. Amazing staff. My son loved it here, and I always received good feedback from his day.

My son went to Just Imagine Day Nursery in the big room. It really helped his social skills and help him to prepare for reception. He loved going to nursery and doing loads of different activities. The staff are always happy to help and friendly.

From the day to day playing and all the key skills he has learnt has made him thrive even more than he was before!
The communication within Just Imagine is 100 per cent on point!
As any parent, you feel guilty leaving your child, but seeing him happy, content and knowing he's playing and learning with all the staff members is amazing in my eyes.
Thank you to all the staff members at Just Imagine, keep smiling like you always do!
So lovely to hear your son is enjoying his time and is happy with the manager and her team. When your little one is smiling it makes it all a lot easier. Thank you for sending in your review.

My daughter loved going here. Started in the baby's room and finished when she went to school. She was advanced for her age, and I put this down to the girls.

My daughter loved going here. Started in the baby's room and finished when she went to school. She was advanced for her age, and I put this down to the girls. Also, made me feel happy about leaving her, even with my mum's guilt. They would phone me to let me know she was ok. My daughter loves that she still sees the girls on the school run, so can still have a chat with them. Amazing nursery.
Thanks for sending in your review. It's great to hear that your daughter has had a lovely time at the setting and you were happy to leave her in the care of the team.
Found this nursery to be really good. The team are all approachable, and they always inform me of everything needed. My little one has a speech delay, and they have really helped me with additional practice for him while at nursery and in contacting the correct people for additional help.
