My daughter has attended Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell for 3 years, from 9 months to 4 years. We have been very happy with this nursery. We were at work with the confidence that she was in a safe and nurturing environment. She was happy to go there in the morning and became very attached to the
practitioners and to her friends, with whom she has played from the baby room all the way up to preschool.
I highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for childcare in the area.

My daughter has attended Magic Roundabout since she was one and has absolutely loved it. The positive and heartfelt welcome we receive every day she attends sets the scene for a happy day at nursery. The staff are extremely caring; they take a genuine interest in each child and can provide a detailed
account of every day. The management have been very helpful and great with communication. It is such a lovely environment for the children to learn through play. The online portal/app allows for easy summaries of each day and also includes some photos and progress reports. The nursery hours are really helpful for working parents. We have been extremely impressed and very happy with our time at Magic Roundabout.

My daughter has attended Magic Roundabout Nursery since she was 1 year old. The care has always been consistent. Her overall development is evident as she is achieving all of her developmental milestones. The opening hours have been a God send and has given me a work/life balance. The management and
staff are always transparent and keep you updated always. The online portal allows you to see pictures and detailed summaries of your child's day and what they have eaten. Overall 10/10.

My son has been at Magic Roundabout for three years now and absolutely loves it. The staff are caring towards the children and the parents, and the management team are really open to feedback. It does feel like a little family, and I've never had any real concerns. My child is happy and looks forward
to "nursery days", and if a member of staff is off, has even been known to tell me he misses them. Can't recommend Magic Roundabout enough.

It’s certainly the best nursery in the area. Light, airy, spacious rooms, very attentive and professional staff, our daughter loves going to nursery! The nursery has their own special educational needs and disability coordinator, who has done some amazing work and pushed through all the relevant referrals
to local speech and language therapy teams, to help with our daughter's development and readiness for primary school. Nursery fees are very reasonable too!

Very polite and tolerant staff. Kids love their teachers. If I need to improve something it might be playing garden, bring white sand instead of dark muddy compost. Also, it would be a good idea to let children stay inside with special slippers and when they go outside change their shoes.

Magic Roundabout is a very nice nursery to send any of your children to. There is a beautiful mixture the children are also very happy in their surroundings they offer different types of learning as well as observations which take place weekly and recorded on to their personal journal which only you
as a parent have access to. You get to view your child’s progress through an app so you can monitor their activities milestones meals sleep patterns mealtimes and nappy changes for those who are still quite young.


The staff are kind and approachable if you have genuine concerns about any delays you feel your child may encounter and offer encouragement in activities to try at home if you sometimes feel you are doing it wrong.


Overall, I’m glad I chose Magic Roundabout Nursery (Stockwell).

My daughter has been attending Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell since she was 16 months and I couldn't be happier dropping her off and leaving her every morning, due to the great care she receives and the enjoyment she has. I have watched her thrive and develop a huge amount since she has joined and
I feel this is largely down to the care, support and learning she receives at this nursery. My daughter has made some really lovely friends and I feel her key workers and all of the other staff at Magic Roundabout Nursery put her interests first, teach her really good manners and this really shows in her when I pick her up every day. All the children are kind and respectful to each other and the teachers do an amazing job setting a good example to the children. Magic Roundabout Nursery has lots of different rooms, allowing all the children to experience a large range of activities. There is a big (and more importantly) shaded playground, which is reassuring during the high summer. I highly recommend this nursery and I am thankful to all of the amazing staff!

Any nursery can sell itself with nice pictures and Ofsted reports. Don’t get fooled: the real value you find when your child attends and when you are in need. My personal experience with fancy and offers outstanding previous nursery was far worse than Magic Roundabout Nursery at Stockwell.
Firstly,
as key worker they welcomed us (fancy nursery kicked my son out in 48 hours after promising they will be open but still wanted us to pay the nursery fee), securing my job as a frontline doctor during lockdown.
Then my son needs some extra help from special education and the SENCO team was well above the expected and worked perfectly together with the nursery.
When I needed emergency childcare they did not even ask questions, just supported and supported me again.
It is a warm, kind, nurturing multicultural place with amazing staff at all levels.
A big thank you Magic Roundabout NurseryRN for everything you have done for us!

Responsibility, care and love are the core values of Magic Roundabout.
We have loved how it has been taken to the next level with refurbishing and upgrading the space for babies and kids.
We have also loved how the manager and the staff are listening and embracing our opinions and ways of parenting
and there is a collaborative approach amongst us.
They also take care of our food preferences, having an amazing and very kind chef that we trust.
We feel that our baby is in a space where it is looked after and cared for and there is nothing more that, as working parents, we could ask for.

My little boy was at Magic Roundabout Nursery for a year until we moved house. The team were just lovely. He was extremely happy there and was learning new things every day. The opening hours are longer than any other nursery I found and yet the cost was significantly lower - we couldn't quite believe
it when we were first given details of the fees. For me and my husband being able to pick him up by 7 pm made our lives so much easier. The building doesn't make the best first impression but that's quickly blown away by the warmth of the people inside. And there has been a very nice refurbishment of the reception and the whole place is being improved. The weekly menu is full of good healthy options. You would get a daily update in an app of nappy changes/naps/meals etc and then once a month there would be 2-3 updates of activities over the course of the last month. All in all, I would highly recommend and we would not have left other than us moving too far from the nursery.

We are really happy that Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell has been a second 'home away from home' for our child during the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing them to interact and learn with other babies in a safe and supportive environment. From the first day of settling in, we felt very comfortable dropping
off our child at Magic Roundabout Nursery, the way in which they are greeted every morning with genuine warmth by the staff is really lovely and reassuring. We were impressed by how they've responded when our child has needed to take medication and had changing medical dietary requirements. We really enjoy updates through the app daily and also appreciate the opportunity to have a call with our child's carers to discuss their development every few months. We can really see how the nursery is trying its best to maintain as normal an atmosphere as possible for the kids and maintain communication with parents while keeping everyone safe.

My daughter started at 6 months. It was two years ago, she is very happy there, learned a lot and made some friends. The staff is warm, welcoming and friendly with the kids and the parents. The nursery has small classes and a lot of space indoor and outdoor for the children to play. They always keep
us up to date with what is happening in the app or in person. They organise activities and have adapted very well to these weird times due to COVID with regular video conferences.
It has a wide opening time and a pushchair storage room.
Thanks for all your work and attention.

I have had my daughter at Magic Roundabout Stockwell since she was 11 months old and she is now 4. What I love about the nursery is firstly how warm the staff are - I felt if I can feel the kindness and warmth from them then surely my daughter will. The second thing was the space. I loved particularly
in the baby rooms that there is so much natural light in the room. I also remember my daughter settling in very quickly and feeling happy to go in and play. Sometimes as a mum, you can feel over-anxious about things and I have never felt judged for bringing things up that I am concerned about. This nursery is extremely flexible in terms of when you are able to drop off and pick up your child and this has been very helpful for me as I do not have a fixed start time for work and sometimes it is more convenient to bring her in slightly later or earlier.

I settled in my twin boys just before Christmas in the midst of Coronavirus. It couldn’t have gone better. The boys took to the staff very quickly - there were no tears and I felt very happy handing them over to people I felt were sweet and caring. I think the facilities are great, particularly in a
world where we are spending a lot of time at home. Having a large nursery with spaces where children of many ages can come together safely is ideal and gives me comfort in a world where there are fewer opportunities to do that.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.277)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.277) out of 10 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 16 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 4.847 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell is calculated as follows: ( (163 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.847

  • 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 4.43 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell is based on 16 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 186 number of registered child places is 37.2. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 37.2 = 0.43

  • 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.
