Hello, thank you for leaving a review. It's so lovely to hear that your daughter loves to get up every morning and attend nursery. To have them little catch-ups in the evenings when your little one finishes nursery about what they have done throughout the day is just magical; it also helps towards their communication and language development!

Thank you for your review. I'm glad staff at Just Imagine have been able to help your daughter settle into the nursery setting and that she now gets excited at the thought of going into the nursery! The app is a great way to show parents what their child has been learning through photos and give over any other important information.

Hello, thank you for your review and saying Just Imagine is like a second home to your children. It's lovely to hear that one of your children attends our Breakfast and School club sessions whilst your other child is in our 'Big room' within the nursery. Thank you for your kind words about our nursery manager and staff, and how they communicate well with yourself on a daily basis. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoy looking at your son's online journal at the end of the day with the photos attached and that your son has great fun in the outdoor area!

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 69 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 69 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.882 for Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (737 Excellents x 5) + (73 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 822 Ratings = 4.882
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Just Imagine Wickford - Station Avenue Day Nursery is based on 69 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 69 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
