My son has been going to Just Imagine since he was 2 and he has always been very happy here. The staff are all lovely. My son will be 5 this year and they are preparing him for his next venture at big school. Lovely to receive updates on the app of what they’ve been getting up to.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little one is having a good experience at our nursery and your appreciation for the updates on the app.
We are so happy that we picked Just Imagine-London Road for our son’s nursery, we were nervous when first looking for a nursery, we wanted a home-from-home setting for our little boy and as soon as we viewed Just Imagine we knew they would provide exactly that. The staff are loving & caring, we’re kept up to date verbally & via an app, and activities are tailored to each child and their development needs. The meals are lovely, they do lots of outdoor activities & messy play and from starting nearly 2 and half years ago to now our little boy’s speech and development have improved so much, he really does enjoy every minute and he is so excited every morning to see his friends and the staff.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted that you chose Just Imagine-London Road for your son's nursery and that it has provided the home-from-home setting you were seeking. It's wonderful to hear that the staff are loving and caring and that you appreciate being kept up to date both verbally and via an app.
I couldn’t imagine them being anywhere else!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear both of your children love coming to Just Imagine. It is lovely you have had positive experiences in all the rooms, and we appreciate your kind words about our staff.
He has mixed allergies, and the team were supportive of us providing his own food at first, and now he eats all his meals on-site, having tried lots of new foods too. The chef has experience with allergies so we feel very lucky that his needs are met so well, including food-based activities. He's practised chopping food, helped carve a pumpkin, and lots of messy play and we see these activities via the photos in the app.
He enjoys his time with the team.
Our son is very happy at nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review! It's wonderful to know he's enjoying diverse activities, including food-based ones, and that you get to witness his experiences through the photo app.
My little boy has been attending Just Imagine since the spring and I can hand on heart say he is so happy there. The staff are so lovely and nothing is ever too much trouble. They care so much and my little one toddles in with no tears and just smiles on the days that he attends.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little boy is thriving and happy at Just Imagine. It is wonderful to know that he toddles in with smiles, and we appreciate your kind words about the staff.
Just Imagine is an amazing nursery. The staff are all so lovely, very caring and loving, mum-like to the children. The meals are freshly, home cooked. They always do great activities with the children and let them play outside whenever they can. They are very supportive to us parents with any questions and dealings we are going through with our children. Very grateful and appreciative to all of the staff.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted that you appreciate the freshly cooked meals, engaging activities, and outdoor play opportunities for the children.
What a fabulous nursery! My son loves coming to nursery each day and doesn’t even look back on his way in. He is happy, learning and making friends each day all supported by the wonderful staff that work there. They are very friendly and supportive always putting the children first. In particular, my son’s key worker puts absolutely everything into her role, which I’m extremely grateful for!
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted that your son loves coming in each day, and the fact that he's happy, learning, and making friends speaks volumes about the nurturing environment. We deeply appreciate your kind words about our friendly and supportive staff, especially acknowledging the dedication of your son's key worker.
All the staff were lovely and supportive when my son started nursery. He took longer to settle than anticipated and the staff were very patient and understanding. He now loves attending and has grown massively in confidence since starting there.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the nursery staff. It is wonderful to know that they were not only supportive but also patient and understanding during your son's settling period.
The staff are all friendly and welcoming.
My daughter enjoys the variety of food she is offered as well as the different activities she takes part in.
If I have any questions or worries the staff are there to answer them and reassure me.
Thank you for your lovely review! It is wonderful to hear that your daughter is enjoying her time at the nursery! We're pleased to know that she appreciates the variety of food and activities provided.
My son has attended the nursery since he was 6 months old (now nearly 3) and I cannot recommend Just Imagine London Road enough! The staff are brilliant. They are very attentive and accommodating and my son is very happy there. The nursery always strives to provide the best experience for the children and they invest in a variety of toys and educational resources. I love that the outdoor play area/garden is at the back of the nursery, away from the main road and there is a great provision for outdoor activities in there which are very well used during good weather. I highly rate this nursery and with my second child now attending I will always sing my praises.
Thank you for your lovely review! It's wonderful to hear that your son has been thriving at Just Imagine London Road since such a young age. We appreciate your kind words about our attentive and accommodating staff. We're glad you value the outdoor play area and activities. Having your second child with us is an honour, and we're grateful for your continued trust and praise.
My son has been at Just Imagine for 4 months now and is so happy there. He does 3 days a week and always looks forward to going. Every day is packed with so many different activities. I love that I can see what he’s doing on the parent portal. Would definitely recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your lovely reviews! It's wonderful that he looks forward to each day filled with diverse activities.
Made sure my little one was happy in his first few weeks! If I could give it 11/10, I would! Overall perfect nursery!
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear your little one is happy, and your generous rating means a lot to us.
Our child has loved her time and development at Just Imagine, the team genuinely care about our child's progression and we have a tremendously close relationship. Communication has been fantastic so we can coordinate between our observations and activities, and the nurseries, they have been tremendously helpful and all the kids always look so happy and listened to.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are glad to hear the team's genuine care and close relationship have positively impacted the child's development.
The staff have continued to support her development over the past few years and she is now a confident and outgoing little girl.
We love reading feedback like this! Thank you for sharing it with us; we will pass on your lovely comments to the team at the nursery.
I feel very comfortable leaving her at the nursery and holiday club.
The staff here are extremely friendly. They always welcome my daughter with open arms and a smile in the mornings.
Communication with staff (including the manager) is great, and they are always available. The staff always encourage my daughter to eat.
Thank you for your good work and for doing it with love for children.
Thank you for the review and great to hear your daughter comes home happy from the nursery.
Our child is visiting the nursery for three years now, and we are very happy with the staff. Everything is just perfect, and we never had any complaints at all! The open hours are very convenient for us too! Thanks.
Thank you for the review and for saying everything is just perfect, we love taking care of all the children at our nursery.
My son is attending Just Imagine since January 2019. He was full time in the nursery, and now we are happy that they provide us with a before and after school club and holiday club. The staff are amazing, always there to help and answer all your doubts. The management is more than brilliant. Like full time working parents, we don't have to worry about anything when we leave our little boy there. We love them, and we are so happy that we choose them. Thank you, girls.
Thank you for the review and for saying our staff are amazing.
All the staff at Just Imagine Day Nursery have been lovely. My son has enjoyed his time at the nursery - made lots of friends and appears to be developing well. However, I do think more could be done to update parents on their child's progress - strengths/weaknesses etc. But the most important thing is I feel my son is safe, well looked after and enjoying himself.
Thank you for the review and for saying the staff are lovely. Great to hear your son is enjoying nursery and has made lots of new friends.
Fantastic nursery. Since my little girl has joined, she has learnt so much, her speech and the way she knows her numbers etc. The best thing is also the fresh food they serve. It’s all freshly cooked, and nothing is cooked from frozen! My little girl enjoys going every day and is very excited. Her teachers have been amazing from baby room up to toddler room and soon to be big girl room! I would recommend this nursery to anyone. Couldn’t ask for better people to look after my little girl!
Hello, thank you for leaving a review. I'm glad that your little girl has come along in her development since being at Just Imagine. I'm happy that you are impressed with our fresh meals that are prepared daily. It's lovely to hear your daughter comes into nursery excited and ready for her...
