How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or those needing extra help are well supported. Staff quickly ensure children and families receive necessary support and engage in good communication with parents to build consistency between home and setting. Staff are trained to identify children needing extra support and effectively use outside specialist agencies, and the SENCo has specialised training, ensuring children get the help they need and make good progress.

We couldn’t be happier with MRN, especially the wonderful team in the baby room. Our son previously attended another nursery where we had a really difficult experience, so naturally we were very anxious about starting somewhere new. From day one, the staff at MRN completely put us at ease. The ladies in the baby room are truly amazing — so caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. The biggest sign of how great they are is our son. He now looks forward to going to nursery, goes in happily, and is so comfortable that he doesn’t even notice me leaving at drop-off. That level of trust and security means everything to us. The facilities are also fantastic — a great environment for little ones to learn, explore, and play. On top of that, everyone we’ve interacted with has been kind, welcoming, and professional. We’re so grateful to have found MRN and couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Magic Roundabout Nursery has been such a huge comfort and truly feels like a second family to our son. He joined when he was just 1 year old, a little baby who couldn’t yet walk, and almost two years later he’s a confident, happy chatterbox running around and playing games! The staff are absolutely wonderful; they care for him like he’s one of their own, nurturing his curiosity and helping him grow in every way. The food they provide is amazing, the garden space is brilliant, and the regular trips out are just the sweetest touch. The management team are fantastic, and it’s clear how dedicated everyone is, there’s very little staff turnover, which means the children get to build lovely, lasting relationships with their carers. We couldn’t be happier and truly believe sending our son here was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Thank you to the whole Magic Roundabout team for creating such a special place!

We've had an incredible 3-year journey with this nursery. My son started when he was 18 months and has now blossomed into a confident 4.5-year-old boy thanks to the team's exceptional care and dedication. They consistently go the extra mile with thoughtfully designed activities that support early years development. The fresh meals prepared daily by their chef are fantastic, and having a little garden for outdoor play is such a rare treasure in Canary Wharf. The positive changes in my son are a testament to their hard work and commitment. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Our son attended MRN Docklands from the age of 2, shortly after we moved back to London from Australia. After visiting several nurseries in the area, we truly feel we made the best decision in choosing MRN Docklands. The staff are wonderful - caring, professional, and genuinely committed to helping children grow. They encouraged our son's independence and supported him as he learned new skills. He started in the Toddler room, where the team helped him through a difficult settling-in period in a new environment. Their patience and support made all the difference. When he transitioned to the Pre-school room at age 3, he continued to thrive. The balance of structured activities and free play was excellent - giving him opportunities to be challenged in his learning while still having space to explore and play creatively. He gained essential skills that have prepared him for school, and we couldn't be happier with his progress. We are so grateful to the MRN Docklands team and would recommend them 1000%.

Our son started at the nursery in baby room and he was very welcomed by the staff. He learned to walk, feed himself and others such as independency and songs which he loves to sing. He moved to pre toddler room and after to toodler where we saw he developed so much and improved so many skills that we were not expecting to be so fast! The staff are great, carefull and loving! We love the nursery and all the care my son and the family is provided! The reason that made me choose the nursery was the method, the inhouse chef that cooks delicious foods and because they have a nice backyard attached to the nursery! I totally recommend!
