Our Ilkeston nursery is set within a bright and welcoming space, surrounded by an acre of greenery and close to the heart of town. The nursery is a short walk from Victoria Park, with easy access from nearby roads and public transport.
The nursery is spacious and full of natural light, offering a calm and inviting atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. Children benefit not only from the generous outdoor space but also from a stimulating indoor environment that nurtures their natural curiosity and love for learning.
We believe in building strong, trusting relationships with our children, their families, and the wider community—working together to create a supportive and enriching early years experience.

Our Approach & Features
At Magic Roundabout Nursery, we provide an inspiring, holistic start to your child's education. We nurture confident, curious, and compassionate lifelong learners by placing their interests and potential at the heart of everything we do.
Reggio Emilia
Children are seen as strong, capable learners. Our environment is the 'Third Teacher,' encouraging creativity and expression through "The Hundred Languages."
Family Partnership
We see parents as co-educators, offering flexible payment options (including installments and accepting all funded hours). We also provide a generous siblings discount.
Tailored Curriculum
We blend the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework with playful, purposeful activities. A dedicated Key Person ensures individualized support and progress.
Outdoor Learning
Our extensive outdoor space is a daily classroom. Children develop resilience and motor skills through gardening, den building, and hands-on nature exploration.
Nourishing Meals
Delicious, balanced meals and snacks are prepared fresh daily on-site. We cater to all dietary needs, teaching positive eating habits and independence.
School & Digital Readiness
We integrate the EYFS with targeted activities to build vital foundational literacy, numeracy, and PSED skills, ensuring a smooth transition to school
