Review from Leanne R (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As parents of two children who have attended, we've seen first-hand how nurturing, welcoming, and dedicated the team is, with a special mention to Abi and Nicole, who both go the extra mile.

Our eldest child, who has autism, attended the nursery and was supported with genuine patience, understanding, and kindness. The staff took the time to get to know them as an individual, adapting their approach to meet their needs and helping them grow in confidence. The communication with us was excellent, and we always felt involved and reassured that our child was in the best possible hands.

Our youngest child still attends and loves going each day. It's wonderful to see how excited they are to see the staff and their friends. The activities are engaging, educational, and fun, and it's clear how much thought goes into creating a stimulating environment where every child can thrive.

Overall Experience

My son started here at 9 months old he is now 20 months, I am so happy I enrolled him here he absolutely loves it, he comes home happy, saying new words or things that he's been shown. Him being so happy really put my mind at ease him going to nursery. The staff are always so helpful and friendly and really care about the children. My child's key worker and staff in his room he knows all there names, he smiles and is so happy to go to them in the morning when dropped off. We couldn't be happier with this nursery and would highly recommend to anyone needing to put there child in a nursery. We love the updates and photos we get through

Review from Gabriella C (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Just imagine has been the very best start I could've given my children. My 5 year old left just imagine with the perfect social skills to succeed with reception.

My 2 year old currently attends this setting and we couldn't be happier. They have helped us work through challenging behaviours and celebrated her successes throughout her time there.

Both of our children have always felt safe and loved. We have had access to management should we need to discuss anything and the daily handovers from the staff that have looked after our child that day have always been appreciated.

Thanks ladies!

Overall Experience

Great nursery, from day one they've updated us with everything my daughter is learning. She's always very happy with the staff in her group, and she's never come out of the nursery sad or upset. We always look forward to the updates to see how she's getting on, so that's another thing that is very nice to see. I know she'll be sad next year when she leaves, as she really does love the nursery. Management have always been willing to answer any questions on the rare occasion I've asked them, and staff have always paid a lot of attention to our daughter as well as the other kids there.

Reply from Angie Russell, Customer Care Partner at Just Imagine Wickford - London Road Day Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful review. We're so pleased to hear your daughter has been so happy with us and that you've enjoyed following her learning journey through our updates. Your kind words about our team and management mean a great deal. Thank you for trusting us with your daughter's early yearswe'll cherish making her final year at nursery just as special.

Overall Experience

The staff are lovely and friendly and very into keeping up with every child there. They learnt about my child's life very quickly, as well as who the important people in his life are. They have a great garden with different activities for them each day. Lovely selection of foods for them also, exposing them to different things he normally wouldn't have too much of at home.

After my daughter had such a good experience for 4 years at Just Imagine, it's was an immediate first choice for my son who has been attending for nearly a year. The staff are amazing and my kids love going, my daughter even likes to come in to see the staff when we are at pick up! Plenty of outside time and learning, and my son has gone from quiet and reserved from so talkative you can't keep him quiet!

All the staff are very helpful and work hard to ensure the children are comfortable and well looked after. My son hated nursery at first but I worked closely with his key person to put him at ease and he has loved every day there ever since. The selection of food offered is always great and they do plenty of fun activities throughout the day, overall I'm very happy sending my son there and would recommend to anyone in Wickford

Overall Experience
Both my 1 year old and 4 year old attend the nursery and it's been nothing short of wonderful.
They have no issues going in, the staff genuinely care about the children and never seem flustered.
My 4 year old spent her first 2 years at a different nursery and i can't begin to explain how much better this nursery has been for her. The staff are fantastic.

My son has quite a lot of allergies and they deal with it brilliantly so that i have zero concerns.

Review from T B (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending since May 2022 and absolutely loves going. He has made some lovely friends, who he talks fondly of at home.
The chef is often mentioned at home, and how I don't cook like him!
I love that he is taught about rules as well as the other activities. The staff's rules are the best!
I love the fact photos are taken on the observations they're doing, this opens up conversations at home about the activities they are learning about, at the moment it's the life cycle of a frog, very different and interesting for us all.
We took him to London last year and was asked to send photos, which we did and this became their topic to learn about, what a brilliant idea!

He loves it all and will be sad to leave in August.

Reply from Sid, Senior Marketing Executive at Just Imagine Wickford - London Road Day Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear how much your son enjoys attending Prima since May 2022. It's heartwarming to know that he has made lovely friends and enjoys talking about them fondly at home. We're glad to hear that our chef's meals are a hit and that your son appreciates the variety and quality of food.
