MRN has been a great nursery my daughter started at eighteen months and now is in preschool - through the rooms she has made very strong connections with her key workers and all the staff are very loving and happy. I would recommend this nursery. The interior is very nice and modern - I think in future
the only point I would say that could be updated is the outdoor play area but overall we are extremely happy with Magic Roundabout Nursery.

My little son has been attending Magic Roundabout Nursery for eighteen months now, and we couldn't be happier. Let me share some highlights about this lovely place:
- Absolutely outstanding staff all around, special shout out to Baby Room and Pre-Toddler Room. The teachers are knowledgeable about
child development, patient, and most importantly, they are full of love for your little ones. It's basically like having a second family at this point.
- Most of the toys set up are handmade wood, and very few, if any, plastic toys.
- Great daily menu, a nice variety of healthy foods and well balanced. My son eats so well in the nursery always, and I can't say the same for his eating at home!
- They won't set your kid home with just a sniffle, which some other nurseries seem to do. They have a strict procedure for giving Calpol etc with pharmacist instructions and your permission. This is amazing. I have a friend whose son gets sent home every other week with just the hint of a cough.

My daughter has been at Magic Roundabout for nine months from the age of nine months. I would have never imagined children of such a young age would partake in such creative development. Their days are filled with activities and I couldn't imagine my daughter having any better environment where she
is learning her foundations of life. The staff provide the kids with amazing love and care and you can see how happy each child is being there. The facilities are amazing with large indoor and outdoor play areas depending on the weather. The staff also host great events throughout the year which allows for the parents to meet the families of their little friends. We couldn't ask for more from this nursery.

My daughter has been with this nursery since she was 6 months old. It has become a second home to her. She loves going in every morning.

My daughter has attended Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell for 3 years, from 9 months to 4 years. We have been very happy with this nursery. We were at work with the confidence that she was in a safe and nurturing environment. She was happy to go there in the morning and became very attached to the
practitioners and to her friends, with whom she has played from the baby room all the way up to preschool.
I highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for childcare in the area.

My daughter has attended Magic Roundabout since she was one and has absolutely loved it. The positive and heartfelt welcome we receive every day she attends sets the scene for a happy day at nursery. The staff are extremely caring; they take a genuine interest in each child and can provide a detailed
account of every day. The management have been very helpful and great with communication. It is such a lovely environment for the children to learn through play. The online portal/app allows for easy summaries of each day and also includes some photos and progress reports. The nursery hours are really helpful for working parents. We have been extremely impressed and very happy with our time at Magic Roundabout.

My daughter has attended Magic Roundabout Nursery since she was 1 year old. The care has always been consistent. Her overall development is evident as she is achieving all of her developmental milestones. The opening hours have been a God send and has given me a work/life balance. The management and
staff are always transparent and keep you updated always. The online portal allows you to see pictures and detailed summaries of your child's day and what they have eaten. Overall 10/10.

My son has been at Magic Roundabout for three years now and absolutely loves it. The staff are caring towards the children and the parents, and the management team are really open to feedback. It does feel like a little family, and I've never had any real concerns. My child is happy and looks forward
to "nursery days", and if a member of staff is off, has even been known to tell me he misses them. Can't recommend Magic Roundabout enough.

It’s certainly the best nursery in the area. Light, airy, spacious rooms, very attentive and professional staff, our daughter loves going to nursery! The nursery has their own special educational needs and disability coordinator, who has done some amazing work and pushed through all the relevant referrals
to local speech and language therapy teams, to help with our daughter's development and readiness for primary school. Nursery fees are very reasonable too!

Very polite and tolerant staff. Kids love their teachers. If I need to improve something it might be playing garden, bring white sand instead of dark muddy compost. Also, it would be a good idea to let children stay inside with special slippers and when they go outside change their shoes.

As a mother I found this nursery very supportive, helping every single step.
They have very good activities for child development and are always improving and seeking new methods.
My daughter is very happy to go there as the practitioners show respect and pay attention to their needs.
Safety is taken
seriously that's why I have peace of mind.

Magic Roundabout is a very nice nursery to send any of your children to. There is a beautiful mixture the children are also very happy in their surroundings they offer different types of learning as well as observations which take place weekly and recorded on to their personal journal which only you
as a parent have access to. You get to view your child’s progress through an app so you can monitor their activities milestones meals sleep patterns mealtimes and nappy changes for those who are still quite young.


The staff are kind and approachable if you have genuine concerns about any delays you feel your child may encounter and offer encouragement in activities to try at home if you sometimes feel you are doing it wrong.


Overall, I’m glad I chose Magic Roundabout Nursery (Stockwell).

My daughter has been attending Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell since she was 16 months and I couldn't be happier dropping her off and leaving her every morning, due to the great care she receives and the enjoyment she has. I have watched her thrive and develop a huge amount since she has joined and
I feel this is largely down to the care, support and learning she receives at this nursery. My daughter has made some really lovely friends and I feel her key workers and all of the other staff at Magic Roundabout Nursery put her interests first, teach her really good manners and this really shows in her when I pick her up every day. All the children are kind and respectful to each other and the teachers do an amazing job setting a good example to the children. Magic Roundabout Nursery has lots of different rooms, allowing all the children to experience a large range of activities. There is a big (and more importantly) shaded playground, which is reassuring during the high summer. I highly recommend this nursery and I am thankful to all of the amazing staff!

Any nursery can sell itself with nice pictures and Ofsted reports. Don’t get fooled: the real value you find when your child attends and when you are in need. My personal experience with fancy and offers outstanding previous nursery was far worse than Magic Roundabout Nursery at Stockwell.
Firstly,
as key worker they welcomed us (fancy nursery kicked my son out in 48 hours after promising they will be open but still wanted us to pay the nursery fee), securing my job as a frontline doctor during lockdown.
Then my son needs some extra help from special education and the SENCO team was well above the expected and worked perfectly together with the nursery.
When I needed emergency childcare they did not even ask questions, just supported and supported me again.
It is a warm, kind, nurturing multicultural place with amazing staff at all levels.
A big thank you Magic Roundabout NurseryRN for everything you have done for us!

Responsibility, care and love are the core values of Magic Roundabout.
We have loved how it has been taken to the next level with refurbishing and upgrading the space for babies and kids.
We have also loved how the manager and the staff are listening and embracing our opinions and ways of parenting
and there is a collaborative approach amongst us.
They also take care of our food preferences, having an amazing and very kind chef that we trust.
We feel that our baby is in a space where it is looked after and cared for and there is nothing more that, as working parents, we could ask for.

My little boy was at Magic Roundabout Nursery for a year until we moved house. The team were just lovely. He was extremely happy there and was learning new things every day. The opening hours are longer than any other nursery I found and yet the cost was significantly lower - we couldn't quite believe
it when we were first given details of the fees. For me and my husband being able to pick him up by 7 pm made our lives so much easier. The building doesn't make the best first impression but that's quickly blown away by the warmth of the people inside. And there has been a very nice refurbishment of the reception and the whole place is being improved. The weekly menu is full of good healthy options. You would get a daily update in an app of nappy changes/naps/meals etc and then once a month there would be 2-3 updates of activities over the course of the last month. All in all, I would highly recommend and we would not have left other than us moving too far from the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.393)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.393) out of 10 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 21 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.828 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.828
  2. 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 4.565 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magic Roundabout Nursery Stockwell is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 37.2 = 0.565
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
