I'm very happy dropping our little one off at Magic Roundabout.
They are very welcoming at the door, and my daughter just loves going there.
The staff are very pleasant, and I've not had a worry at all since we've been using them.
My little one loves it so much; she even wants us to do 'circle
time' at home!

In March 2020 my daughter's regular nursery had to shut as they were unable to remain open during Covid-19 lockdown. Myself and my partner are both key workers and with the help of the council, we were advised to approach Magic Roundabout Nursery as a hub for key worker children and see if they could
take over our daughter's care.
From our first communication with Magic Roundabout Nursery, they were fantastic. They opened their doors to our family in March and we were so grateful to have been able to work throughout the pandemic knowing our daughter was well cared for at Magic Roundabout Nursery.
She herself, had an absolutely fantastic time; she loved every minute and made lots of new friends. From day 1 she was happy to be left with the team and we know that is because she has felt safe and cared for.
Unfortunately, we live quite far away from Magic Roundabout Nursery. This meant longer commutes for the three of us, to and from home and work. Otherwise, this is a fantastic setup, with lots of space for the kids to play and explore, including the garden.

Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell has been really supportive during the lockdown period, with Zoom session with the teachers and online videos. They opened back to all families as soon as they were allowed to, which was such a relief. They put the right measures in place to limit the risk of spreading
the virus, with the parents not entering the premises anymore and the kids allocated to a "bubble" with few of their friends. My two children were really happy to go back to the nursery. They've been there since they were a year old (now four and a half and three years old). The teachers are patient and creative, they follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, and my children are proud and enthusiastic about everything they learn each day. The nursery has a lot of different rooms, with various activities for the kids. Before the lockdown, they were providing Mandarin lessons, which my two children really enjoyed. The nursery is now using the parent link app to share feedback and pictures.

Looking for a nursery was a stressful experience but Magic Roundabout Nursery was the best choice! My daughter started the nursery when she was seven months old and now she is two years old and she loves it! The staff and the teachers are outstanding, always smiling and caring for the kids. The management
is helpful and supportive. The facilities are good and clean and finally, the opening hours are amazing for parents that work longer hours. Great value for money!

Magic Roundabout Nursery is a wonderful nursery which my daughter truly enjoys. She started at 5 months and has been going ever since. The nursery staff is very loving and caring towards her and it feels like an extension of home for her. They have a lot of attention for her development and challenge
her in fun ways which really speeds up her development.
She is cheerful every morning when I bring her and happy and tired in the evening from all the fun and learning activities during the day.
The opening hours make it very easy to combine with work and you don't have to stress to pick your child up before 6pm if you have to work late.

A wonderful nursery! Our son has been at Magic Roundabout Nursery for a year, first part-time and then full time. He has been very happy there. The staff are outstanding, they are really caring and get to know each individual child. He definitely feels it is a "home from home". Magic Roundabout Nursery
have adapted very well to the Covid-19 situation and we feel very safe sending our son to nursery.

My twin daughters have been coming to MRN since they were four months old. It was such a hard decision to make, to leave my children in the care of others as they were so young but from the moment of seeing the teachers surround my girls, and the love they have given them has been an amazing sight to
witness and could not ask for more from them. The whole team really are amazing and caring.
They are now two years old and love going to nursery, never hesitate being dropped off and have become very happy, active, confident, creative, determined girls. They come home exhausted after a fun-filled day learning at the nursery.
The opening hours are fantastic and make life more flexible and less stressful when I’ve had to work longer hours.

We are very pleased with this nursery. Our daughter started attending the nursery when she was just five months old. Initially, we chose this nursery because they have good facilities for babies (individual cots, separate room to sleep, eat and play, outdoor space) and good opening hours. We don't regret
our choice at all.
The management and staff are very nice and competent. We find them very good and nice with children. They communicate well and often with parents and are always trying to help and be constructive. They also have been amazing during the lockdown period - staying open and really trying to help families.
So generally very happy with this nursery.

The team at Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell is simply amazing.
Re - facilities they have a big hall for indoor play and a big yard/garden outdoor. The management staff is always kind and supportive. We were with a big brand name nursery before but Magic Roundabout Nursery is definitely different
and so much better. We can truly feel the teachers love our baby and other babies in the room. They do treat them like their babies, very nice and caring. They cuddle and hug the baby, always welcome and talk patiently to them. I really recommend the nursery to everyone. Thanks the team so much, you are all amazing!

My grandchild is attending this nursery. As a family, we are really grateful for the emotional support offered to the child throughout her settling period. The staff is professional and they all deeply care for the babies. We can see the physical and emotional development since she started nursery.

I am really happy with my son's behaviour and overall development as well as learning. The practitioners, rooms leaders and managers in the setting, are enthusiastic people who really want to support all children in terms of learning as well as in their everyday needs. Me and my wife get feedback for
our son, on a daily basis. I am also impressed to see my son happy on the way to the nursery. I would recommend this place to all parents in the area!

My child looks forward daily to going to the nursery because it’s the best place for her outside of our home. She is learning so well and her development, in general, is wonderful. She’s very sociable and loves her teachers. She’s well ahead of her age in development and that’s a credit to the practitioners.
My child started at the nursery from age of six months and it’s the best decision we made and because of the excellent service and teachings. I’ll categorically and definitely recommend magic Roundabout Nursery to everyone.

I found this nursery after weeks of searching. As a working mother, opening hours are perfect. My son is attending full time and honestly speaking, I couldn’t find a better place for him. Massive indoor area with a big garden that children have access to all day long. Outdoor play is important for me
as we are living in London and being locked inside is not ideal, that’s why the outdoor area was one of the factors why I couldn’t find a perfect nursery until I found Magic Roundabout. Daily feedback is excellent, practitioners always helpful and smiling. All trained with First Aid! My child develops rapidly and I can see the difference. Delicious meals, cooked by a chef from fresh products. Every parent has a chance to try them during open days or workshops. Extra activities are happening such as Cooking classes, PE, Mandarin or Art Classes, even outings to London Zoo or theatres! Amazing place, highly recommend for everyone!

My son has attended Magic Roundabout Nursery in Stockwell since September 2017.
The nursery opens Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 7pm, 51 weeks of the year, which is great as I do shift work. 
The nursery itself is on two floors with very big class rooms and both large indoors and outdoors space for
activities for the children to use. 
My son's development over the past year has been fantastic at all levels. He has learned new things every day from reading, writing, cooking to different languages such as Mandarin and Spanish, just some of the extra activities he has done so far.  
The management and staff at the nursery are professional, happy, friendly and very welcoming with me and other parents. They're more than happy to answer any questions and give me feedback on my son's progress. 
The Magic Roundabout Nursery in Stockwell is a great place for any child to attend. It is my son's home away from home, he is happy when he is there and I can see it in his face when I pick him up.

Magic Roundabout is a very safe and child-friendly environment that I will recommend any way to parents. I have been a customer for over four years as my first child attended there and my second child currently attends.
The staff there are amazing with children and also very effective and efficient
in communicating with parents. I would say they go beyond by organisation of a get together for parents to get to meet, such as summer barbecues and so on. I haven't had any reason to regret being a customer and I rate them highly for their hard work.

A fantastic place for our child to develop. There are not enough words to describe how happy I am with this nursery. Every morning my daughter runs to her room to start her day, and when picked up all she talks about is her friends and practitioners. All team members are welcoming, positive and always
helpful. Throughout the day many activities take place. Management provides extra activities for children such as Mandarin, PE or Art Classes. Meals are healthy and cooked by the chef. If you are looking for the perfect place, this is THE ONE!

I am so glad that I had changed my son's nursery to Magic Roundabout. I have been at Magic Roundabout for a year and my child's development has been amazing in so many ways. I love the fact that they have languages in place and son comes back home singing in different languages. The staff are brilliant
with my son and he has a very good bond with them. A happy child is a happy mum.

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.
