Our 18-month old son has been attending the Magic Roundabout Nursery for about 6 months now. From the settling in period, we've been nothing but happy and impressed with the care he's been receiving. He can't wait to go in the morning and runs into his room when we drop him off. He's really attached
to the carers looking after him and they've also all taken the time to get to know him very well, and they now have a lovely relationship.
He loves the food and has second serving pretty much every single day. The opening times are also very convenient and particularly the fact that we are charged per day and not by the hour (which means we do not have to run if we are 5 mins late to pick him up).
I've been recommending the nursery to friends and will continue to do so!

My child loves going there and has a great rapport with the staff. She loves the activities they do and the attention that each of the teachers gives her at different times. The routines are well ingrained in her. She likes the food and loves when they make bread rolls or cake buns as an activity. The
newly refurbished outdoor space is a real gem.

My daughter has been going here for 18 months and loves it. The staff are so good with her and she is always talking about them at home.


She does loads of different activities (even learning Mandarin) and has lots of outside play time, the outside space has recently been done up and is fantastic.

I am very pleased with the care my little one receives. The staff are all lovely and seem to genuinely care for him. They do a range of activities and he is excited to attend.
When he started, the settling in period was made as smooth as possible, I never felt worried about leaving him and my child
is quite “clingy” I knew that he would have as many cuddles as he needed. I really liked that the key worker came to visit him at home to get to know him better.
He has been going for 6 months now and they are renovating the outside space and making improvements inside which will further improve things.
The food is good, well he always seems to have seconds. The communication between nursery and parents is good.
I don’t have experience with any other nursery but I am very pleased with this one.

My 18 month old son now attends the nursery too and is always happy to see the staff and be left there for the

My daughter is very happy to go to the 'talking school', I feel like her language and other skills are developed and cared for there. The nursery tries their very best to accommodate little ones' individual needs. The staff are lovely and patient with the kids, there used to be an issue with a turnover
but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore, it feels like a stable environment and my daughter feels safe there. I have already recommended Magic Roundabout Nursery to friends and family and will continue to do so!

Magic Roundabout is a wonderful place, the staff are attentive, supportive and caring and have gone above and beyond for my children. The facilities are really good and the children are kept busy with lots of activities, my children have thrived and are very happy at the nursery. I’m really impressed
with the nutrition.

Both of my children have attended Magic Roundabout from age 6 months right through to pre-school. The youngest is still there and there’s not really anything I can fault! The nursery have always worked with us as parents from getting a young baby settled and happy when first starting (no mean feat with
babies who don’t like to nap!) to being ready for ‘big school’. There can’t be a recommendation better than how happy my two have been there and my eldest still loves coming along for drop off and pickups! I’ll be sad when the time comes for youngest to start school : )

We find Magic Roundabout to be quite suitable for our kids. The staff are friendly and caring and seem to follow all required procedures properly. Additionally, our kids are happy there and enjoy going each day. The garden is a benefit and they do sometimes go on excursions farther afield.

Lovely dedicated staff. My son loves them. The only criticism I would have is that there have been quite a few people leaving and for a while there wasn't consistency in the carers, however this has now improved and we are much happier now. All in all a good nursery!

Although there is a lot of staff changes going on at the moment my boy really likes going to nursery. To have male nursery staff available is a good thing too.
In addition to this, I think it's great that the children are able to learn another language (in our case Mandarin) when younger is better.
I'd like to get more involved though, with information sheets in the foreign language - as my boy is asking me to translate and I can't help.

Both my daughters have attended Magic Roundabout. They have always had fun, been well cared for, done a variety of activities and they learned loads. I would 100% recommend it as a nursery or pre-school setting. I cried when they left as the kids love it and the staff are so nice.

Both of my sons have thoroughly enjoyed their time at this nursery, all the staff are lovely and caring and really know my children. However, I feel staff are being let down by management at head office and not offered the support and investment that they need. Whilst it appears more money has been
invested recently there is still a long way to go. Equally, management has decided to get parents to pay for this work in advance by increasing fees by up to 35% with a promise of future investment. Before this price rise, I would have recommended the nursery without question. Now I struggle to. Whilst I don't deter people, I also cannot recommend it.

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.
