Just Imagine Day Nursery - Colchester

Staff were all so amazing and kind. They answered all our questions, they reassured us, they were so understanding and considerate. They listened to us, our concerns and questions but we barely asked any questions because they ticked all the boxes we were hoping to talk about. They were absolutely perfect. I couldn't place my child in a better place than this. Thank you for their time and kindness.

My son goes here for 2years and this nursery beats expectations.. the oure live and care shows and what they have done to help my son is amazing.. thankful beyond words my son is so excited to come into nursery

They are also good at creating exciting activities indoors and out.

All three of my children have gone to this nursery, and I couldn’t be prouder of the choice I made! All the lovely staff have helped my children massively! If you think about sending your children, please do, they are outstanding.

This nursery has been perfect for my little boy; he always enjoys going and always has the best day. Their menu for the children is always great, and they do a lot of activities with the children, including little trips that he enjoys. Every day he attends, the staff lets me know how he’s got on and what he’s been up to. I’m so glad I picked this nursery for him, his development is coming on perfectly.

I have two boys who go to Just Imagine Nursery Colchester, and the joy they get from being there is heartwarming. The staff are so dedicated to making their time spent there fun and varied every day, from baby room to pre-school. My boys have made treasured friendships at the nursery and even consider the staff as their best friends! Both of my boys are advancing really well with all their learning and social skills, and love taking part in the activities, from baking to space adventures! The garden at Just Imagine is fantastic with many varying activities for the children to do in all weather. I couldn't praise all the staff at Just Imagine enough, as a working mum, it makes it so much easier when I know how well cared for and looked after my boys are.

I am very happy with Just Image Nursery Colchester. My grandson has had difficulties to accommodate with other nurseries before, but here he has integrated very well, and he is feeling happy and confident now. Many thanks to one lady who was very caring with him (when he was in the beginning baby room) she helped him to feel safe and loved as at home. Many thanks to all of the staff.

Thank you for everything you do.

Before putting my daughter in Just Imagine, we tried multiple childminders and nurseries, but she wouldn’t settle. Upon the first settling-in session, I knew this would be the nursery for her; she loved the atmosphere and the staff immediately. She’s gone from nonverbal to speaking sentences and finally playing with other children, making friends and memories. She can’t wait to get through the door at drop-off, and all she does is talk about going to see two particular members of staff when she is off! Lovely nursery, thank you.

Absolutely love the nursery. They have proper bought out my child’s creative side, and seeing her make so many friends is amazing. The staff are fantastic, and the rooms are always clean. My child always loves to come to nursery.

Ever since I put my daughter in this nursery, the team and manager have made her feel very welcome and also me very welcome. They have given me so much support regarding my situation over the last couple of months, and I couldn’t thank them enough. Highly recommend the nursery, and the best one, without a doubt.

We are happy with the overall nursery performance. I am glad to see the development in my child with respect to her socialising skills and learning skills. I am happy to send my child every day to nursery now.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 10-months-old (he’s now 3-years-old), and I have never had any problems with the nursery or staff. The staff are so happy and welcoming. I always feel my son is happy and safe with them. Having seen the new changes to the nursery design, I am very grateful that my son goes there; it feels very homely and there are lots to do. The garden is amazing, so much for little ones to explore and learn. The sensory room is fantastic; I can understand why my son enjoys being in there. I always know my son is well cared for, and I couldn’t wish for a better place for him to be looked after and start his journey in his early year's education. The team are just fantastic!

The whole team are wonderful and feels like extended family, who really have the best interest and tailored care for all children under their care. I do not worry about leaving my child in their care; they have helped my child to develop more emotionally and socially than in the previous care setting that was attended. Staff are attentive, have good communication amongst each other, key persons are chosen by who the child naturally goes to, and it's so nice to see my child have a bond with someone who gives them the care they need and professional love and support whilst in their care. Staff truly take time to know each child in their care.

Thank you for making childcare a breeze.

Recently had a parents meeting at the nursery, and the staff were kind enough to provide a tour as well as an update on my child's development. The attitudes of the guys here are amazing. They're accommodating, friendly and cheerful. My child has developed at incredible speed since attending the nursery and absolutely loves being there. The facilities are brilliant, as are the people, who really strive to provide a nurturing and generally lovely environment. Couldn't recommend them enough!

I most love that the nursery is child-led; they do what they feel like doing rather than being forced to do activities they aren’t in the mood for. I feel children learn better this way when they are enjoying the art of learning through play.

Can’t wait to see what my children achieve and how they grow being here.

Choosing a nursery amongst an active pandemic was not easy, especially as a first time Mum, but the staff at Just Imagine made me feel so comfortable and allowed me to take the time in asking all the questions I needed, so I knew from the early stages it was going to be the right nursery for us. It was one of the few nurseries local to us as well that offered a large unoverlooked outside garden, which the team take full advantage of in all reasonable weather, meaning the kids get plenty of fresh air and exercise through play. My daughter also suffers from a milk allergy, which the team have all been so alert with. The policies and procedures they have in place put my daughter's safety first but also ensures she isn’t separated when eating and isn’t made to feel excluded. But best of all, my daughter loves to go; she talks about her friends and her teachers all the time and has never been upset when I’ve dropped her at the door and is always smiling when I collect her to go home!

Also, being able to now view some of the activities that go on at the nursery via the log is very encouraging as it gives a sense of being there and a knowledge of what can be replicated at home.

My child has been attending this nursery since she was crawling and is now two and a half. The staff are fantastic and always go the extra mile. The facilities are perfect in both the baby and older downstairs room with a variety of different engaging activities and areas set up. It is a small nursery with a real homely feel, and my daughter always eats extra food too!
