View the virtual tour
Our Kennington nursery is set within a beautiful Grade II listed Victorian house, just a short walk from Kennington and Elephant & Castle stations. Rated Ofsted Outstanding, we provide a warm, home-from-home environment where children can learn, explore, and grow.
Our rich curriculum includes nature school, outings, STEAM activities, clay and woodworking, and indoor and outdoor cooking. Each month, children discover a new artist in our atelier, while babies enjoy heuristic play and treasure baskets to spark curiosity and creativity.

Healthy Meals & Nutrition
At Magic Roundabout Nursery, we believe great care starts with great food. That's why we employ our own in-house chef to craft fresh, quality meals and snacks from scratch every day. This ensures every dish is nutritionally balanced, delicious, and meets all dietary needs, fueling your child's energy for learning and play.
