Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our two children have had a great time at the Magic Roundabout Nursery Bristol. The staff have always lovingly cared for our children and engaged them in fun and educational activities. They are both at school now, and the staff have helped them get ready for school. I would highly recommend the nursery.

My 20-month-old son just started in Magic Roundabout Nursery last month and we are so happy with the nursery. He developed so much since he started, he loves the food, he loves the staff, he is really happy there. The garden is great and the atmosphere is just really good. We feel that we are also a
key piece for the nursery that always tries to involve the parents as much as they can. I would recommend this nursery with no doubt!

My child has been attending the nursery for over 6 months, he has a great relationship with his key person and we received detailed feedback at the end of the day. The nursery has had lots of work done to the environment including a new garden and decorating the rooms. The staff are very attentive and
knowledgeable. I feel my child is very well looked after and enjoys his time spent there.

Review from Emilie S (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 18-month old son has been attending the Magic Roundabout Nursery for about 6 months now. From the settling in period, we've been nothing but happy and impressed with the care he's been receiving. He can't wait to go in the morning and runs into his room when we drop him off. He's really attached
to the carers looking after him and they've also all taken the time to get to know him very well, and they now have a lovely relationship.
He loves the food and has second serving pretty much every single day. The opening times are also very convenient and particularly the fact that we are charged per day and not by the hour (which means we do not have to run if we are 5 mins late to pick him up).
I've been recommending the nursery to friends and will continue to do so!

My child loves going there and has a great rapport with the staff. She loves the activities they do and the attention that each of the teachers gives her at different times. The routines are well ingrained in her. She likes the food and loves when they make bread rolls or cake buns as an activity. The
newly refurbished outdoor space is a real gem.

My daughter has been going here for 18 months and loves it. The staff are so good with her and she is always talking about them at home.


She does loads of different activities (even learning Mandarin) and has lots of outside play time, the outside space has recently been done up and is fantastic.

Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very pleased with the care my little one receives. The staff are all lovely and seem to genuinely care for him. They do a range of activities and he is excited to attend.
When he started, the settling in period was made as smooth as possible, I never felt worried about leaving him and my child
is quite “clingy” I knew that he would have as many cuddles as he needed. I really liked that the key worker came to visit him at home to get to know him better.
He has been going for 6 months now and they are renovating the outside space and making improvements inside which will further improve things.
The food is good, well he always seems to have seconds. The communication between nursery and parents is good.
I don’t have experience with any other nursery but I am very pleased with this one.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for over 3 years and really enjoys it. She has a great relationship with the staff and has learnt a lot of new skills including some Mandarin!


My 18 month old son now attends the nursery too and is always happy to see the staff and be left there for the

day.

Very happy and supportive environment. Our daughter goes off quite happily in the mornings and comes home babbling about what she has been doing all day. The staff are always pleased to see her and fill us in in detail about what she has been doing when we collect her.

My daughter is very happy to go to the 'talking school', I feel like her language and other skills are developed and cared for there. The nursery tries their very best to accommodate little ones' individual needs. The staff are lovely and patient with the kids, there used to be an issue with a turnover
but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore, it feels like a stable environment and my daughter feels safe there. I have already recommended Magic Roundabout Nursery to friends and family and will continue to do so!

Magic Roundabout is a wonderful place, the staff are attentive, supportive and caring and have gone above and beyond for my children. The facilities are really good and the children are kept busy with lots of activities, my children have thrived and are very happy at the nursery. I’m really impressed

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children have attended Magic Roundabout from age 6 months right through to pre-school. The youngest is still there and there’s not really anything I can fault! The nursery have always worked with us as parents from getting a young baby settled and happy when first starting (no mean feat with
babies who don’t like to nap!) to being ready for ‘big school’. There can’t be a recommendation better than how happy my two have been there and my eldest still loves coming along for drop off and pickups! I’ll be sad when the time comes for youngest to start school : )

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.
