A great site. Clean and well-presented. The staff were all polite and friendly.
Thank you for your lovely review! We appreciate your kind words about the nursery and the team.
From the moment we walked through the door dor an initial viewing, we knew Just Imagine Maldon was the the perfect nursery for our son. The facilities are superb, but what really makes this nursery so great is the staff. They are all absolutely fantastic and our son address them all. The development he has shown, and continues to show, is a huge reflection on te outstanding work done by the nursery. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We came for a show round in December 2023, my son loved it so much that he didn't want to leave, the staff were all so welcoming, setting is fabulous. So many resources and such a fun environment for the children to learn and develop. My son starts next month and to say he's excited would be an understatement.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled your son enjoyed his visit so much. We're glad you found our staff welcoming and loved our environment. We can't wait to have him with us next month.
My son started in January and although it has taken him a little time to settle in, I know that he is happy and loves it. All the staff have been wonderful, our little one talks about them when he is home and even says goodnight to them all at bedtime. They have listened to any concerns we might have had when dropping him off as he was a little unsettled at first but they have gone above and beyond to make this an easy process for us all. We are thankful to them all for everything they do for our little boy.

From the first day of joining, my daughter has settled really well. She enjoys coming to nursery. The staff are very kind and nurturing towards my daughter. I've witnessed staff members being very affectionate and caring towards the children and treating them like their own. There is a real sense of wanting the children to do well. My daughter is always excited about attending and since she has been there, the activities have been immersive. The platform used is really informative with pictures and information uploaded to make sure there is a dialogue between home and nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your daughter has settled in well and enjoys her time there. It's wonderful to know that you find the communication platform informative and that there's a strong dialogue between home and nursery.
Lovely nursery, and amazing staff, can't fault the place. My son is always so happy coming and going to nursery. He has grown up so much and loves the ladies and his friends. We will be sad when he goes to the school.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your son is always happy coming to the nursery and that he loves our team. We will miss him too when he goes to the school.
Just Imagine is a great nursery. The nursary provides a nurturing environment where children flourish. Everyone here are friendly and caring. My son loves it.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are pleased to hear that your son loves the nursery and the nursery provides a nurturing environment where the children flourish.
The staff are lovely and listen to every whim and concern you may have. My daughter has progressed well in social skills. I would however like my time spent on basic academic learning such as name writing, counting etc. But whenever I have asked for an extra push in the area I have been listened to. I would recommend it.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are glad to hear your daughter has progressed in social skills and that you feel listened to by the team.
My child thoroughly enjoys coming into the nursery and talks about it often when she is not there. She has built a wonderful bond with all the lady staff and they are always great at informing us of her learning, how her day has been, or anything she has been working on. If I ever have any behavioural concerns they are great at working together to ensure consistency at home and nursery. The resources are fantastic both inside and out to develop her learning and her interest. I am very happy with her here.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your child enjoys coming into the nursery and that she has built a beautiful bond with the team.
We moved to Maldon in February and the girls have flourished in their new nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your two girls have settled in well and are flourishing at Just Imagine Maldon Day Nursery.
Wow! Just Imagine are incredible! The staff are amazing and always so caring. As soon as the door is opened you get a huge warm welcome. Since day one, they’ve been helpful, caring, supportive and go above and beyond. My child was nervous at first and needed more than two settle-ins. The manager was very helpful and allowed me to have multiple settle-ins with slightly longer. They have a wonderful nutritional menu for the children which is amazing as my child tries new foods which they haven’t necessarily tried before. My child has a few dietary requirements and these are followed and the manager has gone the extra mile to explain how they prepare and cook food separately for this which is a huge relief to know! My child has been on a few outings, one being the local park. This was wonderful as my child got to see the ducks, socialise with his friends in an outdoor environment and learn road safety. This gave him the opportunity to venture into the community with his friends.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear about your positive experience with Just Imagine. It's lovely to know that our staff's warmth and care have made a significant impact, especially during the settling-in process. We are glad to have accommodated your child's needs,...
It would be great to have more detail of what and how much she eats and what she gets up to is shared.
The manager is always super helpful and speedy replies.
Thanks.
Thank you for your review which is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback, please do contact us at feedback@familyfirstnurseries.com so we can discuss concerns.
My daughter really enjoys being outside in the welcoming environment. The teachers are all lovely and understanding. We will be sad when it's time to progress to primary school.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're happy your daughter enjoys the outdoor environment and loves her teachers. We'll miss her when it's time to move on to primary school.
Bottom line, highly recommended!
Thank you for your lovely review! We appreciate your kind words about the amazing staff at Just Imagine. It's wonderful to hear that your son looks forward to attending and always leaves happy.
I was anxious about moving my eldest but it’s definitely been the best thing for him, he has settled so well and has never said that he doesn’t want to go in which he did at his previous nursery at times. From the first day, the staff asked him about his interests etc so they could use them to help him feel happy and comfortable. They have also helped him gain independence and confidence with toileting.
It was a big change for my youngest who wasn’t used to being away from me much but the staff have all been so caring with him and he has especially built a good bond with his key worker and I know he gets the comfort he needs if he is ever upset.
I’d highly recommend this nursery!
Thank you for your lovely review! We are glad to hear about the positive experiences your sons have had since they started with us.
Go above and beyond for the children.
Thank you for your kind review. We're dedicated to going above and beyond for the children and families in our care.
This nursery has been amazing, my son has come on much with speech and his confidence. I'm sad our time has come to an end.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad to have been a part of your son's progress and growth. Wishing you and your son all the best in the future!
So pleased to have chosen this nursery for him and start his learning journey.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear about your son's growth and positive experience at Just Imagine.
Excellent!
