Review from C J (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with the nursery our daughter attends. The staff are truly fantastic-caring, creative, and incredibly dedicated. They are always coming up with new and engaging activities, which makes every day exciting for the children and gives us great peace of mind as parents.

The leadership is amazing and clearly sets a very high standard of professionalism throughout the nursery. Communication is always clear and transparent, and the team is flexible and accommodating with timings, which we really appreciate.

The nursery has a great mentality and a truly international environment, which we see as a huge benefit for the children. We feel very lucky to be part of such a supportive, positive, and well-run community. Highly recommended.

We couldn't be happier with Magic Roundabout Kennington Nursery. The staff are kind and wonderful with the children, the nursery is clean, and communication is excellent. Our daughter joined at 10 months and has never cried at morning drop-off. While there's always room for improvement, we trust the team to keep making it better and better.

Overall Experience

I wanted to share my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding care my daughter has received, from her time in the baby room through to the toddlers' section.

All the staff members who have worked with her have consistently shown immense care, love, and support. The management team has also been incredibly attentive and helpful.

I highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Our son has been attending MRN since he was 10 months old. We are so lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery. The Team are professional, caring and loving with great communication and a warm community. He's loved every "room" and made the best friends with staff and children alike! Thanks to you all.

Overall Experience

We love the Magic Roundabout Kennington!

- The staff are professional, friendly and warm
- The premises are spacious, welcoming and very clean, with a large outdoor area
- Communication is excellent through the Famly app, we always know what our daughter is up to, what she's eaten, how long she slept for etc.
- There is a range of activities every day to keep the children stimulated, happy and learning
- The food is included and very varied - my daughter loves it

- There is a real personal touch to everything they do, for example every staff member (even from other rooms) remembered my daughter's birthday!

I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

An absolutely great nursery, my child seems to be very happy, she is always smiling and very jolly. If that's anything to go by, I think she is happy, and if she's happy, then I'm happy.

So yeah, a really great nursery.

Review from Ronan O (Father of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending the nursery since August 2025 and we are really pleased. He is visibly happy there whenever we come to collect him and in the photos that the nursery sends. Since joining the nursery, his walking has improved and he is more independent in self-feeding. More importantly, it is obvious he feels safe and well looked after and he often jumps from my arms in the morning towards the staff, with a smile. The atmosphere is loving, welcoming and professional and I couldn't recommend the nursery or the team behind it more.

Review from Tabitha P (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Out daughter started at MRN at 7 months in the baby room. She has been there for over 18 months and is so happy. I have always felt like my child is safe, cared for and really supported in her progression. She is such a sociable child and I'm sure it's because of her amazing nursery experience and the confidence all the staff have given her. I couldn't recommend MRN more.

Review from Dorothy S (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been at MRN Kennington since he was 8 months old, and from settling in week has loved it there completely. It feels very much a home away from home, the welcoming and gentle staff in the baby room being a huge part of that. He is comfortable exploring the room, learning to crawl up and down the 2 steps safely, exploring different textures and games, learning to be gentle with other babies. The constant staff is a huge plus, knowing other nurseries have agency staff regularly and the kids don't get such familiarity with the adults there, whereas at MRN you can tell the staff is like family to each other and they know our son really well. We like that there is a routine even for the baby room, but they are flexible with it as the young ones might not all fit into one nap days yet. Even going beyond expectations for his medical needs. We are so grateful for mums in the areas to have recommended MRN to us.

Review from Emily S (Mother of Child) published on 26 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my children attended MRN Kennington; the older from the age of 2.5 until she started school; the younger from the age of 1 to just after she turned 3. It is a warm, nurturing environment, and I strongly felt that that ethos was in the nursery's DNA, and instilled from the top down. They are at the heart of a caring community and both my children and I felt very happy there.

Reply from Aaron Jamaal, Marketing Coordinator at Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington

Thank you! that is awesome to hear. Knowing that we are a part of the journey for both your children's growth alongside yourself is a great honor. We appreciate the kind words shared. It is so rewarding to know that our genuine attempts and ethos is witnessed and acknowledged. The team at MRN love knowing the efforts do not go amiss.

Review from Santiago D (Father of Child) published on 24 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Fully recommend it, we had our kid at Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington for 2+ years and we feel so lucky to have had such a good experience. The staff, from management to the rooms, have always been very attentive, making sure we understood the development of our kid, how they were developing and how we could tackle the challenges we were facing.

And our kid was also very happy to go in, running into their room the moment they were inside the nursery. We were also lucky to meet a lot of parents who have helped us build a community for our little person.

Overall Experience

We loved this nursery so much. The staff are so friendly and really made our daughter feel at home there. They always keep us updated with regular pictures on the app so we can see what she's up to. They're also really flexible and accommodating and made the nursery transition really easy. Very sad to be moving away from the area and having to find a new nursery.

Overall Experience

A lovely nursery with a bunch of wonderful people running it. I always knew my little guy was looked after, in each room he always formed a new wonderful close relationship with a staff member and the head of the nursery was always there to support him. My little one attended from 7 months old until 3.5 years old and I can't recommend this nursery enough.

I do recommend this nursery. It is a very busy one with long operating hours. The management team are very friendly and are always accessible and they solve the problems. The staff are good. My daughter joined them for two and half years and she developed a lot there. I was feeling very safe. They serve Halal food which was a big advantage.

I am really happy with Magic Roundabout Nursery. This is my 3rd child attending. I love how the staff cater to each child's individual needs especially during settling periods or transitions. The staff are very informative about your child's day and always keep you up to date with their development. This is a really good nursery with a good management team who I will recommend to all, which I do often.

My kids went there several years ago and they really enjoyed it. I didn’t have one problem. My son is now in the baby room and he settling in just fine. The one thing I would say is if they could let the babies do more activities, not just Fridays.

Review from Mike S (Father of Child) published on 7 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Really impressed when we came for an open day with our eldest. The manager was very clear on their philosophy and the development of the children. A lot of the way the nursery was set up made sense and all our questions and any concerns were answered. The rooms are well-equipped with a lot of variety of activities. The staff and helpers really do seem to care for the children and our kids have taken too many of them. Food is also great from what I can tell. The best testament is that our kids are always very happy to go to nursery and almost always come home with a big, tired smile.

Reply from Michail Magkanadellis Papadopoulos, Marketing Manager at Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington
