The staff at Magic Roundabout Nursery are incredible. Caring, compassionate and great at communication. They have gone above and beyond when we have asked for detailed reports in relation to our child’s illnesses. They always have a smile or a friendly chat for you on drop-off and pick-up. Cannot recommend
them highly enough!

My experience has been amazing. My son started when he was 1 year old and he is now 2 years old. He is always happy to go to the nursery. The staff are very kind and friendly. I feel confident and calm leaving him there.

Our daughter joined Magic Roundabout during the first lockdown as it was recommended by friends. Although we’d visited a few months earlier, it was still a leap of faith handing her over when we couldn’t stay for settling in sessions, as would normally happen. However, she settled quickly and continues
to love her time there after 2 years. The staff are welcoming and warm - and for my cuddle-hungry daughter, it’s great that they are affectionate and loving too.


She’s learnt so much, especially social skills like being kind and sharing. The ethos feels very child-centred and they spend lots of time in the garden, get messy and creative (don’t send them in wearing their best clothes!). Don’t be put off by some parts looking a little tired as it's an old building, the rooms are lovely and there are constant improvements. Most importantly, the staff are amazing and the app is very helpful to see what my daughter has been doing and her progress. Also good home-made healthy food.

Our 1-year-old has been in the daisies group for three months now, and while it was a hard transition (isn't it for every baby?), Magic Roundabout has been absolutely amazing in providing a welcoming environment. The staff is warm, clued in, and very accommodating. For example, they happily adopted
our reusable nappies, and have been very accepting of our baby's habit of sleeping on top of people rather than in a bed during the settling-in period. The nursery is equipped with wooden toys, books, water and messy play equipment, and a large outside area with various stations. Contact with parents happens at the end of the day, and via an app through which the staff provide info on nappies, meals and snacks, and activities (with photos). Overall, we would strongly recommend it!

My son has been at Magic Roundabout for 14 months now, and I have to say, is thriving. His language skills have come on so well and his creativity and exploration. We are very hands-on, pro learning, pro fun parents, which is why it is great to see this replicated in the nursery. The staff are friendly
and some have built a very close bond with my little one, so he knows he has people around him all day that will help him, play with him and also keep him in check!
Love having the app to look at activities from the day as well as how much he has eaten, slept and been changed. It's even better when there are the occasional picture uploaded of my son during the day.

We are very happy with the care and education at Magic Roundabout, Bristol. Our little boy shows excitement each morning when we pull up in the car park. Working within the early years sector, I appreciate the personal care, welcoming of parents and that no ask is too big. All staff are friendly and
helpful also willing to give advice (first time mum). The parent app is a great resource, we always look forward to our photo updates.

We have been so happy with Magic Roundabout and how they have cared for our two boys. They have always been supportive and understanding and both our boys love their days there. We are particularly grateful for all the staff’s efforts and commitment during the pandemic and providing that continuity

We currently have one child in the nursery but our oldest one also attended. We love Magic Roundabout Nursery! They are all so friendly and warm and the atmosphere is so lovely. Both of our children have been so happy here and we feel really happy knowing they are there.
The activities they do are
full of fun and engaging. You get good feedback on what they do. The food is really good and there’s always a good variety.
The best thing though is the staff. They are just so kind and lovely. Highly recommend!

As parents, we feel very happy with the level of care that our child receives. The staff are kind, caring and always happy to discuss things that may come up; they have been supportive to us during the pandemic, which has been really appreciated. Most importantly, the staff always make it a fun environment
for the children and make sure that they accommodate the needs of every child. There is a family feel when walking in, and the team know everyone on a first name basis. We really love it!

Our son has attended Magic Roundabout Nursery since he turned onw. He has settled really well with the staff and really enjoys the days when he goes to nursery. The app the nursery uses keeps us up to date with his daily activities and shares any key learning or developmental milestones as he grows.
He is very happy at Magic Roundabout.

We have had our son, now 10 months old, at the nursery for 2 months and so far we have been really impressed. The staff are lovely and our son loves them. We love the app they use to give us updates. The management are also really friendly and very happy to help with all questions. Had some issues with
missing clothes but we haven't labelled them yet, so understandable. We had one incident where our son hit his head at nursery and they forgot to tell us at pick up. We did get an email later the same day. We have had no injuries or anything since. The security at the nursery is good and our son looks like he is enjoying himself.

We have been very impressed with the learning and activities set out by the staff. They talk to parents to understand the child's needs and adapt activities accordingly. All staff are friendly and attentive. We've been impressed with Covid measures put into place to make sure the nursery is safe for
everyone, even though we can't enter the nursery, we still have an understanding of the room and the staff due to excellent communication.

The nursery continues to provide stability and a caring environment for my son to learn and thrive. They have been flexible with the days we needed. They appear to be implementing safe procedures to keep parents and children sage at pick up. I am really impressed that they have acted swiftly with new
rules and kept us updated with any changes. Our son loves attending nursery and seems to have fun-filled, busy and interesting days where he is cared for and supported.

Such a great place for little ones! Extremely nice and professional staff. Many interesting and developing daily activities, all recorded on the parents' app. Great menu for food. A well organised and managed nursery. It's been a third year with them and my child is waiting to go back in the next day.
Very satisfied. Thanks.

Had to change at short notice from a great childminder and Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol took our girls. It was a big adjustment from a cosy childminder to a nursery but the staff really care, it's very friendly and the nursery feels very transparent and honest with what's going on. The girls love
going and have fun and are always learning new things. The staff listen to any special requirements (eg naps) and have been great at keeping in touch during lockdown. It's a very happy, friendly environment and we're glad we've made the change to Magic Roundabout.

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.
