Overall Experience

After having my eldest daughter attend the nursery and having a great experience it was a no-brainer sending my second child. All the staff are amazing and I know that both my girls are well looked after and I have total peace of mind while I am at work.

A lovely, friendly nursery that my daughter has taken to beautifully. They were all so welcoming and helpful when my daughter started, she hadn't been left in any childcare setting before. I would recommend this nursery to everyone I possibly could. My daughter absolutely loves it.

Overall Experience

We were new to the area & Just Imagine was recommended to us. Our daughter has attended for the last 3 months and we are happy with our experience with Just Imagine. The staff are lovely, you are always kept fully informed of everything, my daughter seems to really enjoy herself which is the main thing. The activities they set up are engaging, the outdoor space is big enough to allow the children to run around and the food options are always enjoyed by my daughter. Couldn't fault them! Would definitely recommend Just Imagine.

Overall Experience

My child runs into nursery without any hesitation. She's gone from being a hesitant toddler to a confident little girl using all the amazing skills she learnt at Just Imagine. My child has built beautiful bonds with her key people and all the other lovely ladies. Being a childminder and nanny myself, I found it hard to leave my child, but the environment was so friendly and warm. My child's reaction to going to nursery says it all really.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Just Imagine Maldon Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback! We're thrilled to hear how much your child has grown in confidence and how positively shes settled into the nursery. It's wonderful to know that shes built such strong bonds with her key people and the team.

Overall Experience

My son started here in September 2024. he was very nervous but the staff were so welcoming and supportive that he settled in well and he always comes out so excited telling us how much fun he's had that day. I love the parent system as it's transparent and regularly updated with observations and daily reports. My son loves the garden along with the toys and it's lovely to see how he's grown in confidence.
