We had to move from Canary Wharf a year ago and, after looking into many nurseries in our new area, I can confidently say that Magic Round About Docklands stands out as truly exceptional. Our daughter remained until she started reception.
The environment is wonderfully nurturing-not just for the children
but for parents too. The staff are always smiling, positive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They follow each child's lead, gently encouraging growth and learning through play, which has done wonders for our little one's confidence and happiness.
Two staff memebrs have created something magical here-it really does feel like a home away from home.It's not only them , there is also other staff members. This is more than just a nursery-it's a cohesive, joyful space where children thrive and families feel supported.
We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this amazing community. Highly, highly recommend!

My son attended Magic Roundabout (Docklands) from 5 to 22 months old, and the only reason he left was due to us moving countries. Our experience with this nursery was beyond great. Despite initial apprehension around leaving our then 5-6 month-old, we quickly realised Magic Roundabout was the right
place for our son. Staff was nothing but accommodating - they made sure he was always happy and comfortable, adjusted to his sleep needs (even carrying him around so he would actually sleep) and celebrated his energy and personality daily. Our son thrived during his time at Magic Roundabout Nursery, loved everyone and it was much harder to do pick-ups than drop-offs as he never wanted to leave the place. Magic Roundabout Nursery's staff was also always open to our comments and supportive of parents in general always seeking to understand if there were any parenthood struggles going on and how to coordinate efforts. Thank you for such a wonderful time. We definitely recommend Magic Roundabout Nursery to all parents!

Reply from Muhammad Ishaq, Marketing Assistant at Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands

Wonderful nursery, with dedicated and very professional staff members.
My son was always very happy to go there, I felt like every day he was coming home he learned something new.
The activities are very diverse, the nursery is clean and there is a nice outside space.
We were really sad to have
to go and even after 5 months since we left the nursery my son is still asking for the ladies that looked after him.
I will be forever grateful that the first experience of nursery for my son was so special.
A big thank you to all the staff members who have looked after my baby since he was 11 months old, thank you for the amazing work you do!
Regards from Paris!

We've been very happy with Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands. Our eldest went all the way through from baby room to preschool and our youngest is currently in pre-toddlers. The staff are all professional, friendly, and approachable and keep us well informed about how our children are doing. We feel
confident that our children are being well looked after. I would definitely recommend Magic Roundabout Nursery to other parents.

Our daughter has been at Magic Roundabout Nursery since she was 13 months old. Now in pre-school, she has been shown great love and care at every stage of her time in the nursery by a staff team who genuinely care and bend over backwards to give the children brilliant individual journeys during their
time there. We would really recommend Magic Roundabout Nursery, adore the ethos, and want to say a huge thank you to everyone, we are super grateful!

My son loves going and he is developing so much and learning from staff and friends! He has attended since he was in the baby room. I love to know that he loves the food prepared inside the nursery by super chefs and enjoys playing in the nursery playground and also external activities! I couldn't have
chosen a better place for him than the Magic Roundabout Nursery.

My son joined Magic Roundabout in June 2022, when he was 1 year and 3 months old. When he joined the baby room, he had a hard time settling in as a Covid baby, who was only used to spending time with his parents and no one else. The staff at the nursery made his transition as smooth as possible, holding
and cuddling him when he was upset and trying to help him get his sleep without his mommy (not an easy task!). His Key Person at the time, today the Assistant Manager (very well deserved), and she looked after him as if he were her own - we were very glad to have had her at the beginning of our journey. As he grew older he moved to different rooms and was always comforted by the amazing staff, now he is at pre-school with the lovely lady and adores her! The nursery chef has also played a very important role in his time at the nursery, always very attentive and caring! Huge thank you to all the staff for everything you have done for our family!

We couldn’t have asked for a better nursery!
I sent my daughter there after a couple of friends recommended warmly to me, but the nursery exceeded my expectations.
My daughter could write her name after one month there and when asked who is her best friend she would say one of the teachers there,
she is just a wonderful, lovely, caring human.
Fresh hot food cooked there daily as well.
The nursery manager is fantastic, very easy to talk to and always there to address any worries that you might have.
Following the great experience we had there I sent my son to the same nursery and don’t regret it.
If you would like your child truly cared for, definitely consider Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands.

I would not send my daughter anywhere else but to Magic Roundabout. I could not ask for more caring staff for my daughter. She loves coming into the baby room, and I can see how much she has come on developmentally. It is such a loving and caring environment, and my daughter absolutely adores it!

Thank you for such a lovely review; we are so glad your daughter enjoys her time at nursery, and we hope she continues to! We always try our best to make every child's experience wonderful at Magic Roundabout Nursery!

We're very happy with Magic Roundabout, Docklands. My little one loves going here and has been attending for the past two years. The best thing about the nursery is the staff. They are all truly wonderful. They go above and beyond and really care about the children. They treat the children like they
are their own. In particular, my child's designated key workers, they ensured all his needs were continually met and formed good relationships with my child and us as parents. My child is thriving here and I am happy with how his development has been supported and progressed throughout his time at the nursery. Also, the management and staff are approachable and receptive to anything you may want to discuss with them concerning your child. Thanks Magic Roundabout!

We are so happy with Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands. The staff are so kind and caring towards all children and the nursery is designed in such a considered way to give children the best experience. Both my children have attended the nursery and have had wonderful experiences. I feel my child is

The best thing about this nursery is the staff, my child has been with Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands for a year and the staff are very caring and attentive, whether they are her key workers or not, they are always able to tell me how my child is whenever I call them. Both my partner and I feel
our child is in safe hands when with them. Lots of activities for festivities - great party at Xmas and staff make an effort for other dates such as Chinese New year or Diwali. Outdoor space is small but they do ask the building management to use the bigger outdoor spaces next door when it's available, and often take the kids out to neighbouring parks, they even visited a passing warship once! Photos and daily updates are very regularly notified on the App they use. Overall excellent communication from the management team.

We've been really happy with Magic Roundabout Docklands. We moved from another nursery and feel this is much more organised. The staff are well trained and there's a well-established system within the nursery. The key person made every effort to ensure our son settled well and the staff know all the
children despite the different rooms. They design various stimulating activities and encourage the children to get involved. Communications are timely with real-time updates in the app which is really useful. The nursery manager and all the staff are very experienced and patient. The chef makes fresh food every day and our son eats and sleeps well since day one. Cleaning process is in place daily. They also have a garden and outdoor activities which is hard to find in our nurseries in Canary Wharf. I definitely recommend this nursery.

We are very happy that our son started his early education at Magic Roundabout. He started at thirteen months old in the baby room. Now twenty months in the pre-toddler room. He talks nonstop, and he has really good manners. The staff are also phenomenal. They are very invested in the children's education
and well-being inside and outside the nursery. They are always very patient with them, and they respect their time of learning things. If you live in the area I would definitely recommend Magic Roundabout. You will not be disappointed.

I am very grateful to the staff for their attitude and the way they look after the children. Both my children attended the nursery, one of whom is already at school. I know how they work, and that's why I trusted them for my second child. The attitude towards the children is excellent, I have never
had any problems. My child grew up there and learned to feed himself and all the daily routines. I must not forget to mention the warm and delicious food, which is offered and cooked on-site every day. I see my child happy there, and that is enough for me to be happy too. I thank them.

My daughter started attending Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands in September 2021 when she was just shy of three years old. Since starting she has become much more social and has generally thrived. She has learned so much and loves attending. Her teachers are amazing and the activities they do always
excite her. We are very happy.

Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands welcomed our son into their family and treated him with genuine care that I thought went above and beyond other nurseries. We never had any issues whatsoever and found everyone we interacted with - from caretakers to administrative staff to those keeping the nursery
running smoothly - a genuine pleasure.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.512)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.512) out of 10 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 4.898 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.898

  • 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 4.614 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magic Roundabout Nursery Docklands is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.714

  • 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.
