Very happy with Magic Roundabout for our son (for 2.5 years now). A caring, nurturing environment, staff are lovely. He has fun and seems to learn something new each day. It'll be a wrench when school eventually beckons!

Magic Roundabout Nursery have always gone above and beyond for my child who has been attending the nursery since he was 15 months old. They have made his transition into nursery, as well as his progression into the older room, seamless.
The communication between the nursery and parents is exceptional
as our questions and queries are always answered swiftly and with care.
My child's key workers ( baby room, toddler room) regularly update us with observations and activities which gives us ideas on how to best adapt learning at home for our child.
I cannot stress enough how much my child loves attending the nursery each and every day.
Thank you so much for everything you have done and continue to do.

I couldn't be happier with my children's experience at this nursery! Both my children currently attend with one in pre-school and the other in the baby room.
At the heart of the nursery, there is a caring culture where the staff show genuine affection, warmth, and attention to each child.
The nursery
is clean, bright, and filled with engaging activities that encourage learning through play.
My children have blossomed socially and intellectually here - both are growing into such confident, happy, independent children.
The staff are not only professional but also compassionate, always open to communication and eager to address any questions I have.
I feel confident and reassured knowing my children are in such a nurturing and safe environment. I would highly recommended to any parent looking for a wonderful childcare environment!

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

Love everything about the nursery. Facilities are great, play areas are always evolving, and seem to be organised with care and love. The staff, including the cooks, is very friendly, they all know the kid's name. Seems like a family for the kids. I know that there is a kitchen in the nursery, which
is positive and hopefully means that the food is mostly homemade however, I regret not having more photos or/and tasting as I feel I don't know what my child eats. A menu is not enough to know about quality and quantity.

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

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and kind words about our nursery. We're delighted to hear that you appreciate our facilities, evolving play areas, and the care and attention provided by our team. It's wonderful to know that you feel the nursery is like a family for the children. We understand your thoughts regarding the meals, and we appreciate your suggestion for more photos or tastings to give a better insight into what your child eats. While our menu provides an overview, we'll take your feedback into account to explore how we can offer more transparency about the quality and quantity of the meals we serve. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us. Your input helps us continue to improve and provide the best possible environment for your child.

Our little boy loved Magic Roundabout Nursery and we’re very happy with his experience there. The staff are all loving and kind and he’s clearly very fond of them all.
The activities they do are fun and I know he loves the food as most days it’s ‘all’ or ‘all+’ on the app!
I’ve given a lower score
for value for money - not because Magic Roundabout Nursery is overpriced but because all childcare in the country is obscenely expensive. We pay more for nursery than our mortgage!

Our daughter has attended Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol since June 2022. We'd initially intended to send our daughter to a very highly oversubscribed nursery which we got a place for, but we got such a warm vibe when we toured Magic Roundabout that we changed our plans. We are so thrilled we did!
The staff are incredible. They are warm, kind, and are clearly highly trained. We feel lucky to have them in our lives and are grateful for the wonderful work they do. Staff retention also seems good. I get the sense from chatting to staff that they like working there and that they like each other, which helps add to the familial vibe of the setting. The staff really know my daughter well. As a same-sex couple, we have felt really welcomed by the setting. We love the events the nursery runs for families (ice cream afternoons, storytime, Mother's/Father's Day breakfasts). As Magic Roundabout is open 7.30 am to 7 pm (compared to 8 am to 6 pm at other local nurseries), we have more flexibility in our work days.

My children have been attending Magic Roundabout since 2020, and we are so grateful for the time they spend at nursery and preschool.
The rooms are spacious and tidy, with multiple types of spaces for messy activities, meals, reading, and quiet spaces.
My children learn so much from the activities
and materials that are made available to them! The practitioners are friendly and caring. They have supported us with tackling unwanted behaviour and making the children feel welcome. The management team is very approachable and understanding. There have recently been many opportunities for parents to engage with the management team. I really appreciate the flexibility around drop-off and pick-up times. Overall, Magic Roundabout is a wonderful place for our family!

Our eldest has been at Magic Roundabout Nursery since June 2020 and our youngest since March 2022 and they are so happy there. The staff are warm and welcoming and really make them feel loved and all of us feel part of a community. The girls have formed lovely friendships with other children and bonds
with their key workers. They are actively preparing our preschoolers for school in September and always communicate well with parents either in person or via the app. We will be sad when our time at Magic Roundabout Nursery inevitably comes to an end!

It's all about the staff - they are all fantastic. The building, although a great space, is very old and a bit tired looking and it's one of the cheaper nurseries in Bristol (when we first looked and compared back in 2016) but don't be put off by that. The love, care and affection that the staff show
to the children is evident whenever you are there. All of the staff know all of the children's names right through from the baby room all the way up to the preschool. Both the level of care and relationships the staff have with the children is exceptionally good. Both my children have thrived at Magic Roundabout, building a great rapport with their teachers and making lasting friendships that have made the transition to school seamless. Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

We are very happy in Magic Roundabout! We came from a different nursery where my kid was coming home every day tired and nervous. We spoke with some families whose kids attended this nursery and recommended it to us. Since we are in Magic Roundabout, he has a lot of friends, loves spending time in the
nursery and with his teachers and every day come home with a smile. They are all kind and friendly and also the families in the nursery seams to share similar values to us. I have old kids too and they always want to come with me and collect their brother, they love the nursery garden, the colour of the building and the decorations. I always recommend the nursery to my friends.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.890)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.890) out of 10 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.890 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol is calculated as follows: ( (246 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.89

  • 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 Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol is based on 23 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6, which has been reached with 23 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.
