Just Imagine Day Nursery - Canvey Island

This nursery is very welcoming and accommodating to each child’s individual needs. The staff are always happy and the environment is clean, bright and natural.
I would recommend this nursery!

I really like Just Imagine Nursery on Canvey. Staff are lovely and the management are clearly focused on improving the experiences and outcomes of the children. Both my children enjoy nursery days and are thriving in all areas.

Lovely nursery, very friendly and welcoming and my child loves her teachers. The first thing I loved about the nursery when initially visiting was the garden, the fact they make/ cook the children’s meals on-site and fresh each day and the wooden features (toys, furniture etc) made it feel homely and comfortable.
My child has been attending for over a year and settled in quickly. I catch up with my child’s daily activities by checking the app they use, which is informative and updated daily.
The staff are friendly and chatty and happy. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing nursery, could not recommend them enough! Very friendly with a nice atmosphere. My kids absolutely love it there! There are always plenty of activities and I can see how much fun she has through the parent portal.

Myself and my husband found it really difficult to find a nursery that we were both entirely happy with, that was until we visited Just Imagine Day Nursery – Canvey. The nursery has an amazing balance of natural and man-made resources as well as adult-led activities and child-focused ones. The children’s care is equally important to their learning which is evident as my little boy settled within a few sessions and now he talks about all his teachers and days adventures at home. The Parent Portal app is fantastic as I can see what my son has done through the day, what he has eaten and when he has slept, and even when I call upon my lunch break they are always so accomodating speaking to me even if they are busy. The staff are so patient and offer support and guidance when needed. My son’s only been attending for a short time and has already grown in confidence and learns new things every day. Thank you to the team.

My little boy has been attending this nursery since he was one and he is now two and a half (my older boy, now at school, also attended for a year). Both boys settled straight away, and love the staff. The nursery is a vibrant and interesting setting with various different activities, lots of garden time and also they go out to local places like the beach, park and lake. I love the app that shows food, nappies, activities or photos of the day. My boy has come on leaps and bounds with his speech. The manager and owner are very approachable and take on board parents’ views and ideas which is hard to come by these days. All staff members are lovely and easy to talk to just like a friend, this is what makes this nursery. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a home from home setting with staff that care about the children rather than just being a number.

Just Imagine Day Nursery in my opinion is by far the best nursery there is on the island. Every single staff member are so so lovely and helpful. The nursery is always doing fun activities and days for the children like an end-of-term summer party, all the children loved it and it was clear to see how much effort they put into the day to make it special for the children and it definitely paid off. My little girl has been attending since January and just within 6/7 months she’s massively progressed she’s gone from a very shy timid little girl into a happy, outgoing, cheeky, and very clever little lady who interacts with children when before starting she never would. She loves going to nursery and is so confident with all the staff and always runs straight in. I’ve seen such a difference she’s so much more chatty and her learning skills have really developed. I’ve never had any problems with the nursery and do think there the best!

I was very nervous to return to work after maternity leave and especially about leaving my little one for any period of time but I want to thank the manager and the rest of the team for being so fantastically kind, supportive and flexible. My little one absolutely loves it there and all of the staff have been so warm and welcoming it’s been a much smoother process than I imagined. I love the wide range of activities my child has had the opportunity to take part in and really enjoy receiving photo updates each day. The nursery itself is a very bright, clean and happy environment with plenty of opportunities for little ones to explore and lots of natural toys and objects to pique their curiosity. I would recommend this nursery to any parent – especially Mum’s who are nervous about returning to work as they definitely made a scary situation much less so!

I have two sons that joined Just Imagine Day Nursery – Canvey Island around a month ago. My youngest son has suspected autism, he first went to a different nursery (again for around a month) and had no success there. Since joining Just Imagine both my children go in smiling and come home smiling. All the teams have been amazing, not only with the boys but also with me as a parent. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, especially for special educational needs children. We are a month in and I already feel at such ease with everything! Thank you to everyone at Just Imagine and a special thank you to the staff for their help settling both the boys.
