Both my children attend this nursery and the staff and facilities are fantastic. My children are happy and I feel fully supported by the nursery. I trust the staff and know they want my children to have a happy safe environment to develop in.

My son has been at Magic Roundabout since he was ten months old and he is now a very happy three years old. Magic Roundabout is a great nursery it is safe and lovely. Their approach to child development focussing on independence and play has been great for our son.
We are very happy about the nursery
management and staff, everyone is understanding, warm and caring I can't recommend this nursery enough and we wouldn't still be there if we weren't mega happy. Thanks to the manager and her great team.

Amazing nursery, one of the best I've seen in Walthamstow. Large baby room with lots of facilities and toys for the baby's to play with and explore. The sleeping area for babies is also really big with little beds and big cots. Great care from all the staff, friendly and approachable, quick responses
on emails and details to child's learning development and anything you need to know. We will be really sad to leave.

My daughter has spent more than three years at the nursery. She loves the staff, the garden and is completely at ease. The staff are all dedicated, professional and caring. We have found that the management deal with challenges as they arise very effectively and without undue fuss - excellent in a word.

My Son has attended Magic Roundabout Nursery since he was 9 months old, he absolutely loves his time there especially playing in the Garden. The manager and her team have always gone above and beyond to make his time fun and educational and cater to his specific needs as he can suffer from overheating
and convulsions. He has shared great bonds with all his key workers and continues to do so. 10/10 would recommend.

Daughter has been going to the nursery for over a year now, from baby to toddler. We have found the nursery excellent. The manager is very professional, friendly and responsive and all staff have been so warm, caring and comforting with my child. They have fantastic relationships with the children.
My daughter comes out happy every day and we appreciate all the hard work the staff do. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

This nursery has always been excellent. The practitioners are so caring and committed and, I feel, really know my child, his personality and his needs. The facilities are great and they organise so many inventive and fun things to do with the children. Management have always been present and supportive,
they know each child and you always feel you could take any worries or concerns to them.

It has been an excellent choice for our child's first experience out of the house. Everyone in the baby room at the nursery are doing an excellent job, all have been warm and comforting to both us as parents and to our child. Excellent and responsive information from managerial and administrative services,
both by email, phone and video call. They also update: nappy, food, sleep and activities via an app, so at work you can see what the little one has been up to.
There is no doubt we fully appreciated the team's work and would without a doubt recommend Magic Roundabout Nursery at any time.

Review from Edward W (Father of Child) published on 17 January 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Magic Roundabout Nursery since 4 months old, over 2 years ago. In that time her development in behaviour, speaking, movement and creativity has been truly exceptional and mostly from the impact of the high skill level of Magic Roundabout Nursery 's qualified and experienced team.


The manager has been so flexible and helpful with all of our needs. Indeed, she seems to know every child by name, and leads the team with such positivity and care, it has created a really warm atmosphere and nurturing environment.


I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly. My daughter is always so happy when we collect her and looks forward to going back. It's been invaluable for her to spend time with other children through the pandemic and how the nursery have handled this experience has been nothing short of outstanding.


Even if you have full time care for your child, there is so much value to them attending a nursery like this.


Well done to the manager and team.

My daughter has been at Magic Roundabout Nursery since January and her development has been incredible! Her speech is more clear, she is very happy, she has friends and her manners are amazing. She can count and is even more helpful than before. I am so happy that we found this nursery and it’s sad
that we have to leave due to moving home. The staff are very friendly and management is amazing, I’d definitely recommend to all parents!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have been at Magic Roundabout Nursery Walthamstow from approximately one-year-old.
My daughter is now four and starting school in September and my son is three and still at Magic Roundabout.
My husband and I are both really pleased with Magic Roundabout and how much a part they’ve
played in shaping our children into well rounded, confident children.
Although my daughter hasn’t started in reception yet, she can already write hers and my name, do simple add and subtract sums and can also sing a nursery rhyme in Spanish, which I know much of hasn’t come from us!
The meals they provide and healthy and well thought through and there is an app with the children’s progress & activities which you can view with their photos uploaded.
The staff are all caring and professional and my children absolutely love it there.
Would fully recommend it.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I had a really bad experience with this nursery. Very unfriendly admin staff and manager. I raised a few concerns and was shunned and ignored. Too many children and nursery manager cannot cope with the volume. After a month of being ignored, I raised a complaint with the company secretary and I initially
said I was taking my daughter out. He asked me to think about it whilst he investigated. I thought about it for a week and said I would like her to return as she really likes her practitioner who is amazing. The company secretary then informed me that they had given our space away! Absolutely ridiculous. I raise a complaint and they got rid of us and still have my deposit. I will be reporting this to OFSTED. Avoid this nursery and go for a smaller professional one.

This nursery is fantastic, the resources are great, the staff are lovely, very friendly and caring. It’s been a while since my son has attended here and he’s very happy and well cared. I was very worried about his settling and separation but the information that you get through their app and when you
pick up is very good, which shows great communication with parents. Well done to all of you working hard even in this tough time.

Overall very good, the twins thoroughly enjoy nursery and have developed well since joining. I feel the pricing is high considering we have twins, could be better. The drop off and collection queues are annoying and in the morning, it can take twenty plus minutes to drop off. The staff are excellent,
especially three of them but all are good.

Our daughter has attended Magic roundabout Nursery since she was ten months old. She settled in very well and the staff particularly her key workers have always been so helpful and interested in what she does and how she is developing. We have been very impressed with Magic Roundabout Nursery and they

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.
