Review from Faith C (Mother of Child) published on 12 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Amazing, from the moment I was looking for my child's first nursery everyone at Just Imagine was welcoming, kind and patient.
The nursery itself is lovely and homely, it didn't feel like walking into a business. It felt like walking into a friends home.
My child had nothing but positive things to say about all the staff, everytime I drop off and pick up they are bubbly and welcoming.
I'm glad I chose Just Imagine for my child's first nursery, I feel it set us both up with high expectations on what to expect from any future childcare.

Couldn't have been happier

I highly recommend this nursery. The support they've given my son with ASD and SEND has been amazing, helping him develop skills across all areas.

The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely care about the children, and they are always friendly and supportive to parents too.

Review from Alexandra D (Mother of Child) published on 12 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We truly can't thank this nursery enough for the love, care, and dedication they show our daughter every single day. We enrolled her when she was still crawling and didn't know many words, and the transformation we've seen is just incredible. Now, at only 2 years old, she is so independent, confident, and beautifully communicative.
She has completely blossomed into such a happy, curious little girl, and we know that's thanks to the nurturing, patient, and genuinely loving environment the team creates. It means the world to us knowing she is not only safe, but truly cared for and understood.

We feel so lucky to have found this nursery. Watching her grow into such a smart and confident little girl with their support has been so special. We are beyond grateful and couldn't recommend them more.

The staff at the nursery are lovely and very cheerful. My son loves going to nursery as the staff make him feel so welcome. The managers and staff at the nursery are very helpful with any questions that I may have and are very quick to respond.

Review from Maddie C (Mother of Child) published on 12 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started here in September 2025. Was 9m old, had delayed development and had separation anxiety from me.
Within a short amount of time him being there he was flying through his milestones!
The management/staff have been so supportive towards me and my son. They are always willing to support any ideas I have. The communication is top tier!
Every day he has so much fun with the staff and the other children during the activity times.
I really struggled getting fruit into my son's daily diet and they've been able to get him to eat it!
Overall I'd recommend this nursery to any parent who is looking into putting their child/ren into childcare.

Couldn't ask for a better support system!

Highly recommend this nursery. My child speech and confidence has thrived since being at this nursery. He is excited to nursery and always coming out with a smile on his face. We get updated via their app with pictures and my boy is always smiling and having so much fun. The staff are amazing and treat the children like their own.

Overall Experience

As my daughter prepares for big school this September, I wanted to recognize the incredible team at Just Imagine Nursery, where she's been since age two. I was so nervous leaving her at first, but they were incredibly kind, making the transition seamless-it truly feels like a little family. She has thrived, loves sharing stories about the staff, and adores the cute theme days. I was so impressed that my younger daughter is now attending, too. Highly recommend!.

Overall Experience
My son has been attending just imagine nursery since he was 5 months old and is now almost three and a half years old.
I always get praised at how well he speaks, how clever he is and how kind he is. I honestly have just imagine to thank for that.

He absolutely loves it there, knows all the staff names, will talk about his friends and how much fun they have. I have never had a negative experience with them.

Review from Samantha S (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have two sons that joined Just Imagine Day Nursery - Canvey Island around a month ago. My youngest son has suspected autism, he first went to a different nursery (again for around a month) and had no success there. Since joining Just Imagine both my children go in smiling and come home smiling. All the teams have been amazing, not only with the boys but also with me as a parent. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, especially for special educational needs children. We are a month in and I already feel at such ease with everything! Thank you to everyone at Just Imagine and a special thank you to the staff for their help settling both the boys.

Review from Aaisha M (Mother of Child) published on 30 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All the staff at Just Imagine Day Nursery are amazing. I was very apprehensive about sending my son to the nursery considering he had language barriers and he was timid. I had a discussion with the manager there about how they would help him settle in and they offered help and practical solutions every step of the way. Within a few months, I noticed a considerable difference in his speaking ability, confidence and overall behaviour. My son enjoyed being there, took part in the varied activities and made some good friends.

The vibe of this nursery is very warm and welcoming and the staff there would always make sure that any issues or concerns that parents have are addressed in a prompt and proper manner. Whenever I asked them for any extra support, they would listen carefully to my concerns and always be more than happy to help. It would not be wrong to say that this nursery has played a major role in making my child school ready. I cannot recommend them enough to any anxious parents.

Review from Dani S (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was very nervous to return to work after maternity leave and especially about leaving my little one for any period of time but I want to thank the manager and the rest of the team for being so fantastically kind, supportive and flexible. My little one absolutely loves it there and all of the staff have been so warm and welcoming it's been a much smoother process than I imagined. I love the wide range of activities my child has had the opportunity to take part in and really enjoy receiving photo updates each day. The nursery itself is a very bright, clean and happy environment with plenty of opportunities for little ones to explore and lots of natural toys and objects to pique their curiosity. I would recommend this nursery to any parent - especially Mum's who are nervous about returning to work as they definitely made a scary situation much less so!

Review from Chelsea C (Mother of Child) published on 2 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Just Imagine Day Nursery in my opinion is by far the best nursery there is on the island. Every single staff member are so so lovely and helpful. The nursery is always doing fun activities and days for the children like an end-of-term summer party, all the children loved it and it was clear to see how much effort they put into the day to make it special for the children and it definitely paid off. My little girl has been attending since January and just within 6/7 months she’s massively progressed she’s gone from a very shy timid little girl into a happy, outgoing, cheeky, and very clever little lady who interacts with children when before starting she never would. She loves going to nursery and is so confident with all the staff and always runs straight in. I’ve seen such a difference she’s so much more chatty and her learning skills have really developed. I’ve never had any problems with the nursery and do think there the best!

Our little boy has special needs. This nursery is wonderful. Their SEN knowledge and enthusiasm is incredible. Our son is non-verbal but we can tell he is very happy here. The staff and management are so kind and nothing is ever a problem. I would highly recommend this nursery. Our daughter will also attend here. It’s twenty minutes away but worth the journey.

Review from Jessica S (Mother of Child) published on 23 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending this nursery since he was one and he is now two and a half (my older boy, now at school, also attended for a year). Both boys settled straight away, and love the staff. The nursery is a vibrant and interesting setting with various different activities, lots of garden time and also they go out to local places like the beach, park and lake. I love the app that shows food, nappies, activities or photos of the day. My boy has come on leaps and bounds with his speech. The manager and owner are very approachable and take on board parents' views and ideas which is hard to come by these days. All staff members are lovely and easy to talk to just like a friend, this is what makes this nursery. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a home from home setting with staff that care about the children rather than just being a number.

My oldest boy attended the nursery from 18-months till he started school this year, and my youngest now attends. We can't recommend this nursery and all its staff highly enough. So friendly and their SEN knowledge is excellent. Really supportive and has its own sensory room. We will be using their holiday club frequently during half term too.

Review from Rebecca H (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Myself and my husband found it really difficult to find a nursery that we were both entirely happy with, that was until we visited Just Imagine Day Nursery - Canvey. The nursery has an amazing balance of natural and man-made resources as well as adult-led activities and child-focused ones. The children's care is equally important to their learning which is evident as my little boy settled within a few sessions and now he talks about all his teachers and days adventures at home. The Parent Portal app is fantastic as I can see what my son has done through the day, what he has eaten and when he has slept, and even when I call upon my lunch break they are always so accomodating speaking to me even if they are busy. The staff are so patient and offer support and guidance when needed. My son's only been attending for a short time and has already grown in confidence and learns new things every day. Thank you to the team.

Review from Daniella T (Mother of Child) published on 23 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to Just Imagine Day Nursery for almost 3 years and he absolutely loves going and all of the staff. Each day he does varied activities and he really likes building toy bricks, reading books, playing in the sandpit or in the soft play. The staff know how much he enjoys a particular video game series and playing dinosaurs and they have catered activities that suit what he and the other children are interested in. They have a great app to share photos and activities plus what he's eaten each day. I really like it as we sit down at the end of each day and my son tells me about what he's been doing and tells me about the photos. The staff are always friendly and have been helpful if I've ever had questions.
