My two children attend in preschool. I am very happy with their progress and the way the staff is caring and promoting the children learning even if they are bilingual.
The management is very supportive and has a good partnership with parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nephew and niece are both attending Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington.


Whenever I drop off or collect them there is always someone to greet you, they have established a warm and friendly atmosphere. Staff are always engaged with the children and carry out activities from morning until evening.


I

also notice outstanding diversity with children of all different cultures and backgrounds attending the nursery. My nephew and niece speak fondly of both staff and children alike.

I am very pleased with the care my little 2-year-old gets. Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington is a wonderful place that promotes equality and diversity. The children enjoy healthy, fresh on-site cooked meals. My child has learned a lot and became more confident and outgoing. I am extremely happy with
the way staff care for my child and management that is always attentive. My child flourishes in a safe environment. The garden and the entrance are guarded with two security doors.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington is the best nursery for the area of Southwark. Staff is caring, looks after each child individually; they listen to the parents and to the child! My younger son joined Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington when he was a baby at 11 months old and now he is turning 3
in a few weeks time. His care has been outstanding, the staff know all the children regardless of which room they belong to, they take the time each morning and evening to talk to each parent to check and report on the child's wellbeing and achievements. The staff are very patient in teaching new concepts, letters, numbers, shapes, colours, good behaviour, etc. and they work hard with each child to ensure that the child learns at his own pace but not left behind. When my son had medical needs (as all young children do from time to time), they were fantastically caring like a home to home environment. The facilities are spotlessly clean and with a variety of toys and other activities (indoors and outdoors) suitable for EYFS setting.

My little boy attends in BR and he has settled really well. The staff is loving and caring and they respond to my child’s needs.
The management is very supportive and provides lots of reassurance.
Many parents’ evenings take place and there are some workshops as well.

Lovely nursery and excellent staff. My son started 2 years ago and my daughter joined him last month. I have always been confident that they are well cared for. Am always impressed by the activities they organise. Lovely outside space as well- my son loves it.

Review from E B (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot say how happy we are to have found this nursery. The staff (every single person) is amazing, my son loves everyone, keeps mentioning the ladies names at home and showing us what he learned during the day (dancing, singing, counting now). We see him making so much progress and he seems really
fulfilled.
Our son was three months old when he started at Kennington Nursery (he is two now), so easy to imagine how hard it was the first day I left him. But all the ladies reassured us, they respected all the "rules" I asked them to follow regarding food, nap, etc. (they keep records of everything in a book you can consult each day).
He never cries when we leave him in the morning, is always happy to see the ladies and his friends, which is the most important as a parent, to see our little one happy!
We really recommend Magic Roundabout nursery at Kennington for all these reasons and many others (conviviality, smiles, kindness). Thank you Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is a professional, well managed, safe and fun environment for my little girl to grow and be ready for big school as she will call it.
My little girl started with them from 1 years old all the way until she is now on her way to reception.
They listen to my needs and made sure I was up
to date with all her daily activities.
She always loves to go and from what she tells us they are always on point with teaching her all the necessary things needed for her age.
I feel absolutely happy with the Magic Roundabout nursery and the staff, they are awesome! And I can't express how thankful we are for their hard work.


Thanks you

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are very lovely and welcoming. They are always happy and well organised. My son started at 9 months and has settled in extremely well. He's always happy to go to the nursery. Even though he has a main keyworker, he seems happily and securely attached to all the staff. This has lead me to believe
that staff work well as a team, to allow children to feel secure and safe. I always received feedback about his day and I'm very well informed.

This nursery has been so loving, caring and patient welcoming my child into the nursery. They set a high standard and settled my son in a professional way. As a fellow child care worker myself, I am impressed with the staff atmosphere and knowing my child is in good hands. Thank you so much, Magic Roundabout

I feel that the nursery is good however the food quality can be better and I feel that its too expensive for what it is. Some of the staff are nice and welcoming. To improve the nursery they should do more outdoor trips e.g the farm...etc to help them with their development,

Very friendly staff. I was extremely nervous leaving my DD in nursery because of her age, however, they made the process very easy. She has so much fun and enjoys playing with the other kids which makes it easier for me.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.952) out of 10 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.760 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.76
  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 4.192 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magic Roundabout Nursery Kennington is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 102 number of registered child places is 20.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.4 = 0.392
  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.
