An excellent nursery, all the staff are very helpful and go over and beyond to ensure our daughter is settled. We love that it is multicultural and our daughter is learning different cultures which is true to life. The food is also very, very good!

My two daughters have attended this nursery. They have very much enjoyed their time here and continue to do so. The staff interact very well with the children. Every morning my daughter looks forward to coming to the nursery. That is testament to the staff and facilities. Highly recommend this place.
All food is halal which is great.

My son started Magic Roundabout Nursery in January 2021 and it has been an amazing experience so far. He has made major improvements in speech and self-confidence. I am looking forward to more positive changes in him with all the support he currently receives. I am always kept up to date which is good
to know what is happening with him.

Magic Roundabout Nursery is a good nursery. My preschool-age son started in July 2020 and he settled in so quickly and both the staff and management are fantastic.

I moved my child from another nursery in the summer of 2020. I was concerned with how my child was going to adapt to the transition. Magic Roundabout were fantastic and supportive with embracing and settling my child. The staff are totally child-focused and role model great examples of care towards
the children. My child is so happy and confident. I'm so glad she's here, We're happy with her progress and development and, most of all, her happiness.

All staff are lovely! I love that the day to day reporting of my child is logged in ParentZone. It is good to know what he gets up to throughout the day. The nursery has good measures in place during this Covid19 period to protect children's families. I like that if I need any further information, I
am given relevant advice which is great for me. The feedback given if there are any concerns from me are listened to and I fell like I am always in the loop and they have my son's best interests at heart!

One of the best nurseries in my area! The staff are very kind and professional, who in a short time, they won the hearts of my children, who began asking me to take them until their rest day. Thank you for all staff.

I have found the staff at Magic Roundabout very helpful and warming. My son really enjoys coming here and has developed a lot in his time here. The parent app is a great tool and really helps give further insight into my son's activity at a time when I am unable to chat so much to his room staff. In
both rooms my son has been in, the staff have been open to my questions and so helpful, suggestive and kind.

My son has developed so much since starting at Magic Roundabout. They genuinely care about the children and ensure their individual needs are met. They treat the children as individuals and it shows. Of particular note is my son's keyworker, he's amazing and has worked to build a real bond.

Review from James G (Father of Child) published on 26 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We knew this was the right nursery for our son at our first visit. The whole building seemed filled with joy - happy children running up excitedly to staff who were equally happy to see and interact with them, with lots of different opportunities for play and stimulation.


The nursery is big with

about 7 different areas for babies and a large outdoor garden space he loves. He's learning lots too - it's great hearing him happily singing parts of new songs or seeing him cheerfully snap his hands together when I say 'crocodile'.


He's happy to arrive at nursery in the morning and happy when he comes out to meet me in the evening. A couple of times he's been waiting by the door at home in the morning with his cycle helmet, in a hurry to set off!


The staff are cheerful, friendly, professional and caring. They've dealt brilliantly with the covid situation. I feel very safe knowing he is in such good hands. It has been easy to recommend Magic Roundabout to other parents.

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.
