Overall very pleased with Magic Roundabout Nursery. Excellent communication with families. Nurturing environment. Our child has been there since a baby and now in preschool and is very happy to go there in the mornings. Excellent opening hours. I was a bit nervous when my child first started nursery
but she has flourished there.

Amazing nursery. Both our kids are striving there and have settled very easily. What a pleasure as a parent to drop your kid off every morning and know they will have a great day. Could not recommend any more.

Our daughter has been made to feel so welcome here. Starting at nursery was a big change for her and staff were so supportive and understanding, letting us know how she was doing and helping her settle in. Now she runs through the door and really enjoys her days, getting outside and doing great activities.
We were referred by a friend who also has a child at this nursery and are really glad we took their recommendation.

We absolutely love Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow, our daughter has been in the baby room for about 6 months and she absolutely loves it. The staff are all lovely and gave her lots of extra love and cuddles when she had a hard time settling in. They made her feel safe and she now gets excited
as soon as she realises where we are. She's so much more confident and sociable since starting and she loves cuddling all the staff. We couldn't ask for a better experience as first-time parents!

This is a lovely nursery, with so much warmth from the staff and whenever I'm there the kids are calmly adventuring! Lots of time outside and lovely activities indoors too. Admin is practical and friendly, a different vibe to other nurseries I've used. Highly recommend!

The staff at Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow go above and beyond for the kids in their care. The nursery is spacious and so many activities are planned for the little ones throughout each day. Our oldest has gone to school now and is still keen to go in to pick up her little sister to see the staff.
A testament to how much she loved her time with them. Thank you everyone!

I have had a very good experience with Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow. The staff have been amazing and caring. I had been worrying before sending my one-year-old to the nursery but they made it easy. He has had an amazing time. Making friends and developing. I also love the app with all the updates.
Great nursery overall.

All the staff at Magic Roundabout are very friendly, caring and diligent. My son has struggled with a few illnesses over the last two months and the staff in his room as well as the management have been great about giving him his medicine and making sure he's been getting the support and care he needs
while he's been unwell. He's really happy at Magic Roundabout.

Our daughter has been so well supported by the staff at Magic Roundabout and is developing so much under their care. It is a brilliant nursery and the children spend a lot of time having fun in the lovely outdoor play area. We would thoroughly recommend it. All of the staff are amazing and there is

We couldn't be happier. Our baby started in October when he was twelve months old. The settling was hard for him but all the staff are amazing, with a lot of patience, experience and good communication, our son loves going there. They care a lot and inform you about every single aspect of your child's
development. Since my son started he is talking more, more alert, and doing more actions, he is learning so fast. They always go the extra mile. Ladies (and ladies that we don't have the pleasure to meet yet) from the baby room are a second family for him which we love. The management are great too and they inform you about different matters via the app and are always happy to listen if you stop by the office. Never too busy to attend to you. We are over the moon.

The manager at Magic Roundabout Nursery has gone above and beyond for our daughter, she has found it hard to settle and cope with drop-offs. The manager and the other staff have done more than we could have asked for to help my daughter and even created a little book just for her with pictures of herself,
the nursery areas and the staff. Her key worker is brilliant and she loves seeing her in the mornings now. They often open up areas usually closed in the mornings just for our daughter as they know she will respond well to it. We couldn't be happier with Magic Roundabout Nursery.

My three children have attended Magic Roundabout Nursery over the last nine years and I couldn't wish for a more supportive and caring nursery.
The nursery has transformed in both appearance and support, during these nine years.
As parents, we do worry day to day but both management and staff are
supportive and they all take the time to provide regular updates.
I'm extremely grateful to Magic Roundabout for the support and the staff really do make this nursery outstanding!

Review from Funmi O (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Magic Roundabout is a fantastic nursery which truly cares for the children that they look after. I have one child currently at the nursery and another who just started school. My eldest is autistic and the care and vigilance of the team and the manager meant she left nursery with a diagnosis and EHCP
and her school were very impressed with the handover they received. They are truly inclusive setting and strived to ensure my daughter was included in all activities but were also willing to adapt the environment and adopt different strategies to help her. All the staff were so kind to her and us and we are truly grateful.
I feel this nursery truly knows the needs of all the children they look after, give regular updates on our children's development and try to include the parents as much as possible by holding regular events in the nursery that we can participate in. My daughter ends every day so happy and eager to go again the next day.

Our daughter has been going to Magic Roundabout nursery for over two years, and it is a wonderful place. Whilst there are many things to love about the nursery, such as the big outdoor space, and how children are developed and supported, it is by far the staff that make it.
We have had many key workers,
and I couldn't fault a single one. They are caring, attentive and knowledgeable, and form real bonds with the children. Our daughter has really come out of her shell, and Magic Roundabout has been a big part of that.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.844) out of 10 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 7 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 4.852 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 81 Ratings = 4.852
  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 3.992 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.292
  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.
