My children have been attending the nursery for over two years. I moved them from a smaller nursery, for the inside and outdoor space that Magic Roundabout has. All the staff are friendly, polite and appear to enjoy their jobs. We have had some small scraps and falls but received phone calls everytime
to update us. At the end of each day, I am updated in regards to what the children have done and eaten. My boys have very much enjoyed their time at the nursery.

My son has attended Magic Roundabout Walthamstow 4 days a week since he was 10 months old and he leaves next month and is very happy to be dropped off each morning. There is so much indoor and outdoor space and always lots of stimulating activities for the children to enjoy, grow and learn from.
The
children are fed very well with healthy meals and snacks. Covid-19 pandemic has obviously affected procedures but to nursery has remained open throughout and have responded brilliantly. I would definitely recommend to other parents. Thank you for the great start for my son.

When leaving my daughter, I feel at peace knowing that she is in a safe and nurturing environment. Thank you for everything, we have had a great experience

Magic Roundabout Nursery is a great nursery for children of all ages. My daughter has been there for 18 months and has loved playing with both her friends and the staff there. Because it is such a multicultural nursery, my daughter has been able to make friends with children from all backgrounds and
has also been able to pick up words from the languages of the staff; she loves coming home to share. The staff are warm, caring and attentive to the needs of the children. The management team know all the children by name and are able to respond quickly to your inquiries. Before the COVID-19 restrictions, my daughter had a variety of extra-curricular activities to look forward to, such as football, art and Chinese lessons. They also held various events for parents to attend, such as the Christmas play, multi-cultural day and graduation. I am happy with how my daughter has been cared for, but if I could improve one thing, it would be to have circle time to sing and play instruments.

My son has been attending Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow since he turned one and has made some great friends as well as close connections to his key workers. Throughout his time there I have felt very happy with the support and dedication of the staff. I've always felt it was a safe and welcoming
environment and the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure he is happy and making positive progress.

Great team of staff, very friendly, approachable and inclusive. They are passionate and very caring towards the children.
My little one started in the baby room and is now in the toddler room, he has so much fun every day and comes home singing all the songs he has learnt.
The children have the freedom
to roam, do different activities especially since the rooms are so spacious.

My daughter attends Magic Roundabout twice a week, and has been since 2016, and absolutely loves it there! She has a group of friends there, and speaks highly of her friends! There is a lot of space there, both indoors and outdoors. Lots of activities are set out and the staff are extremely approachable.
My daughter is always confident about going to nursery and enjoys going!
The children are fed well throughout the day, there’s breakfast, lunch and dinner, and healthy snacks within.
The parents and carers whose children attend are generally friendly and down to earth.
My daughter loves it so much that she’s not leaving until the week before she commences school!
With the Covid 19 this year, nursery procedures changed and that was totally understandable, but the lovely manager still kept in touch on a regular basis.

As a parent, it is so important to feel 100% sure that your little ones are going somewhere where they are happy, safe and stimulated. And that is what this nursery provides. Our youngest adores his teachers and is happy to be dropped off each morning. He is able to spend time in lots of different environments,
outdoor play too which is very important to us.
The staff are so wonderful and keep you well informed. They have been particularly amazing over this COVID crisis period and have given our keyworker family all the support we could have wanted.

It was a wonderful experience to have one of my children spending 4 years at this nursery. The transition from nursery to preschool was smooth and filled with support from key person at the nursery. I am fully satisfied with all the feedback, resources and opportunities provided to us while my child
was at the nursery.
My other girl - since joining nursery has developed in so many ways. She is more confident and balanced and loves going to the nursery every morning. She looks forward to meeting her teachers every morning. We love all the teachers who are warm, caring and very professional. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents. Thank you so much for making the difference.

We’ve been really impressed with the communication and additional resources and activities organised during lockdown. My daughter started here in January, 2 days a week and she’s settled in well, returning happy which I feel is a good indicator. They’ve recently launched the app which you can use to
track your child’s daily activities and development which has been really useful.

My daughter had attended Magic Roundabout Nursery until she went to school and she enjoyed the place a lot.
I particularly appreciate the friendly welcoming and cooperation and support with her settling in which was very difficult as she didn’t speak English when she started nursery at the age of
three. Her key person was even using some words in her home language (Polish) that really helped at the beginning. Then she made many friends and was very close to her teachers - she still misses them! As a parent, I was very happy to see her development and confidence. She loved playing in the big garden and taking part in all activities, especially art lessons. Even on my day off she always wanted to go to nursery. Couldn’t choose better.

I recommend this nursery for everyone who still can't decide which nursery they want to choose. The staff is super friendly, always helpful and taking seriously my suggestions about my child. Every day I can see positive changes in my child's development, while she is trying to demonstrate what she
has learned in the nursery. Big thank you for all the staff for their help.

My child started this nursery at the age of 14 months and has been here till the age of three. I can not express enough how supportive this nursery is. My child is always happy and everything I have asked for she has received. There is not one day that goes by and she does not have a smile on her face.
The educational side is also very good and she has achieved all her steps and has learnt a lot of new things through her journey with Magic Roundabout Nursery. If I was to have another child I wouldn’t think twice about bringing my child here. The staff are extremely nice and friendly and always happy, along with the management team, everyone is so bubbly and outgoing and ensure you leave happy every day not only do they care for the children but for us parents too.

If only I knew this nursery existed I would have enrolled my first child there. I absolutely love this nursery. At the moment my second child is in this nursery and I must admit the manager and staff are such a delight and I have full faith in them looking after my child.
My previous experience at
another nursery was not great so finding a nursery and building a relationship with the staff was so easy. I would highly recommend other parents to enrol their children to this nursery.

On the whole, my daughter really enjoys attending the nursery. The staff are great, really accommodating and friendly.


Dietary needs are well accommodated for. I'm always informed of goings on in the nursery. The security measures in place for picking up and dropping off are very good.


My daughter

has been going there for 3 months and at this stage I couldn't ask for much more. Would recommend.

My decision to change my child's nursery wasn't easy and Magic Roundabout was the second nursery I visited during this time. But as soon as I walk in and felt comfortable with sending my daughter here. All staff are approachable and friendly on all occasions. They hold endless activities internally
and externally during the whole year e.g. Visiting the local library, Park or supermarket. Making the whole time an adventure for my daughter. Arts and crafts is a constant and we always have interesting bits and pieces to take home. There are so many good points I could go on longer.
Just visit the nursery to see for yourself. Will be very sad in August to leave the nursery more so than my daughter herself.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.844) out of 10 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 7 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 4.852 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 81 Ratings = 4.852

  • 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 3.992 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.292

  • 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.
