Both our children have/do attend this nursery and we've always been very happy with it. The staff are just lovely and clearly take pride in the care they provide for the children. It's a very happy, friendly environment with lots of interesting things for the children to do!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has attended Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol since June 2022. We'd initially intended to send our daughter to a very highly oversubscribed nursery which we got a place for, but we got such a warm vibe when we toured Magic Roundabout that we changed our plans. We are so thrilled we did!
The staff are incredible. They are warm, kind, and are clearly highly trained. We feel lucky to have them in our lives and are grateful for the wonderful work they do. Staff retention also seems good. I get the sense from chatting to staff that they like working there and that they like each other, which helps add to the familial vibe of the setting. The staff really know my daughter well. As a same-sex couple, we have felt really welcomed by the setting. We love the events the nursery runs for families (ice cream afternoons, storytime, Mother's/Father's Day breakfasts). As Magic Roundabout is open 7.30 am to 7 pm (compared to 8 am to 6 pm at other local nurseries), we have more flexibility in our work days.

My children have been attending Magic Roundabout since 2020, and we are so grateful for the time they spend at nursery and preschool.
The rooms are spacious and tidy, with multiple types of spaces for messy activities, meals, reading, and quiet spaces.
My children learn so much from the activities
and materials that are made available to them! The practitioners are friendly and caring. They have supported us with tackling unwanted behaviour and making the children feel welcome. The management team is very approachable and understanding. There have recently been many opportunities for parents to engage with the management team. I really appreciate the flexibility around drop-off and pick-up times. Overall, Magic Roundabout is a wonderful place for our family!

Our eldest has been at Magic Roundabout Nursery since June 2020 and our youngest since March 2022 and they are so happy there. The staff are warm and welcoming and really make them feel loved and all of us feel part of a community. The girls have formed lovely friendships with other children and bonds
with their key workers. They are actively preparing our preschoolers for school in September and always communicate well with parents either in person or via the app. We will be sad when our time at Magic Roundabout Nursery inevitably comes to an end!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's all about the staff - they are all fantastic. The building, although a great space, is very old and a bit tired looking and it's one of the cheaper nurseries in Bristol (when we first looked and compared back in 2016) but don't be put off by that. The love, care and affection that the staff show
to the children is evident whenever you are there. All of the staff know all of the children's names right through from the baby room all the way up to the preschool. Both the level of care and relationships the staff have with the children is exceptionally good. Both my children have thrived at Magic Roundabout, building a great rapport with their teachers and making lasting friendships that have made the transition to school seamless. Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

We are very happy in Magic Roundabout! We came from a different nursery where my kid was coming home every day tired and nervous. We spoke with some families whose kids attended this nursery and recommended it to us. Since we are in Magic Roundabout, he has a lot of friends, loves spending time in the
nursery and with his teachers and every day come home with a smile. They are all kind and friendly and also the families in the nursery seams to share similar values to us. I have old kids too and they always want to come with me and collect their brother, they love the nursery garden, the colour of the building and the decorations. I always recommend the nursery to my friends.

My eldest daughter started attending Magic Roundabout Nursery when she was one and went for four years until she started school. My second daughter is two and has been attending for over a year now. They have both had a wonderful time, and it is always nice to drop off happy children who want to be
at nursery. The practitioners clearly know and care about the children. I didn't know much about Magic Roundabout when the girls started, but I think we got very lucky. I have since recommended it to friends, who are all happy with the nursery.

I have two children at magic roundabout nursery and they are both so happy there. The staff are all so warm and welcoming and my children enjoy the challenges, games and learning exercises set for them. I am very impressed with the imagination of the staff for the wide range of activities the children
do and I also love the Reggio Emilia approach they use, I feel it has given my children independence, confidence and a desire for knowledge. I feel they are being well prepared for school and the world in general.
Thank you.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As many parents are I was anxious about putting my 1-year-old in nursery when it was time to return back to work. The team at Magic Roundabout have been absolutely amazing with the care and kindness they have shown my son. He has learned so much in his time there and always talks about the fun activities
that he does during the day. When I pick him up he's often getting 1 to 1 time with the staff, be it reading a book on their laps or getting cuddles. Everyone at the nursery is friendly and very welcoming. They are all very easy to chat to and great at communicating any information or concerns that they have. They have played a huge role in my sons learning and cannot recommend them enough!

My child had been going to Magic Roundabout from about 18 months old so I could return to work. She loved every minute of Magic Roundabout Nursery right up until pre-school graduation and leaving process. It brought her on leaps and bounds with her speech, intelligence and social skills and I owe a
lot to them. The room leaders and management were always lovely and polite and my child was always happy to go in and told me about her day upon return. It's a really lovely little nursery and I cannot thank the staff enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.832)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.832) out of 10 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.860 for Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.86
  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 4.972 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol is based on 21 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.972
  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.
