October 15, 2019 at 12:00 amIf you want your child to have one of the best starts in life, I urge you to consider this amazing little nursery school. The staff are outstanding, the child-led learning is superb and your little person will be nurtured and encouraged throughout their tenure here. I can not recommend highly enough – we consider ourselves very lucky to have found such a marvellous place so close by.

October 17, 2019 at 12:00 amMy third child is now at The Magic Tower and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The older two absolutely loved their time at Magic Tower and my current child is always so excited when it’s a nursery day. The staff are extremely professional, as well as friendly and kind. They all make a huge effort to ensure your child is happy and thriving and the diversity of what they do and how they learn is fantastic. I have always been blown away by how fast they develop at Magic Tower: with their speech, learning to write their names and also understanding shapes and numbers. Most importantly, the learning is fun and the children enjoy it. Parents (and grandparents, other carers) are involved in a variety of events and activities over the year, which is lovely for both them and the children. My family always look forward to the Christmas carol concert in December! You are continually kept up-to-date with how your child is progressing and the staff are always on hand to help with any query.

October 21, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son started at Magic Tower in September and is already thriving. The staff are amazing, so professional and kind and took the time to know my son’s likes/dislikes within a few days. The classroom always has plenty for him to play with, and I regularly hear stories being read when I pick up and drop off. I also love that the children have plenty of outside space to play.
I was very nervous about him starting, but the staff have been so helpful to me and putting my mind at ease when he first started.
The weekly update email is great, as it really helps to keep me informed on what has been happening and what the learning topics are. And it’s lovely to see pictures of him playing and learning.
I am so glad our son goes to Magic Tower, I couldn’t recommend them enough.

November 6, 2019 at 12:00 amOur daughter started Magic Tower in September and we could not be happier. The staff are amazing, they have shown a genuine interest in getting to know and understand her and adapted sessions to help engage her. The variety of skills development activities and learning both indoors and outside has been superb and she has hugely grown in confidence. The environment is friendly, kind and caring and we are thrilled that our daughter has been able to start her academic life in such a fantastic place. We really couldn’t recommend it more highly.

November 8, 2019 at 12:00 amWe are just so happy to have discovered Magic Tower. We sent our first daughter here and she loved it and so we were keen for our next daughter to come here too. The Montessori teachers are second to none and one teacher, in particular, is just wonderful and I know that our little one is in the safest hands. She has developed so much and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

November 19, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending this wonderful nursery since September 2018. He initially went to two settings and we were delighted after a term when we were able to just send him to Magic Tower. It really is a magical place! As a primary school teacher myself, I could not recommend Magic Tower more highly, it is the perfect preparation for school! My son has skipped in since day one and made so much progress. The level of care and attention is outstanding. The staff cater for each child individually and could not be more communicative and helpful towards parents. Every week he comes home with amazing creations and staff are always keen to share funny tales about his adventures there. I feel so connected to his nursery experience which is also helped by the weekly e-mail updates. Parents are often invited in to support activities or trips and the Nativity and sports day are brilliant! There is also an excellent breakfast club.

February 5, 2020 at 12:00 amWe move a lot and have experienced five nurseries in total around the UK and Magic Tower is most definitely my favourite. The staff are incredibly kind, caring and nurturing and give the children a great foundation for independence and starting school. They also really support you as a parent and are very flexible trying to help you out wherever they can. I couldn’t recommend Magic Tower more highly.

February 11, 2020 at 12:00 amI only have fantastic things to say about the nursery. I could not wish for a better place for my children to start their education. The staff are amazing. They are friendly, professional and caring.

March 10, 2020 at 12:00 amMagic Tower is amazing. The staff are second to none, and really do care for every single child, they make an effort to remember parent names, not just “x’s mum/dad”. My daughter is now at Magic Tower, following her brother who attended Rabbits and Winnies until he left for school in Summer 2019. She was on the waiting list since I was pregnant with her, my husband and I loved the nursery so much we wanted to guarantee she got a space when she was two. Since starting she has come on in leaps and bounds, her speech has developed and been encouraged, it is lovely to see pictures of her playing and interacting in the weekly newsletter, as we saw with her big brother. I am 100% sure that we made the right decision in sending both our son and daughter to Magic Tower. They have been incredibly well looked after and when our son comes to collect his sister, he is greeted warmly, by name, by the staff who ask him about school and how he is, excited to hear how he is getting on. A truly wonderful place.

December 11, 2020 at 12:00 amI am always pleased with the level of knowledge, engagement, and patience evinced by the staff at the school. Both my girls have enjoyed going there (my youngest still attends). I am in total agreement with the way the school is run and with the style of the structured lessons – teaching through play.
I cannot really praise the school and the staff enough. I have always recommended it to others when the subject has been raised. Well done chaps!

September 16, 2021 at 12:00 amMagic Tower has been the most wonderful experience for my son and daughter – amazing staff in a lovely, calm, secure and caring environment. The attention to detail for each child and their learning needs is true Montessori, and their confidence has developed so much as a result. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing environment for their little one.

May 11, 2022 at 12:00 amEgg Day Nursery at Magic Tower is an exemplary example of a nursery/pre-school and I cannot speak highly enough about the team and facilitates (particularly the team!). My daughter has been attending Magic Tower for eight months now and it has been an absolute pleasure to watch her grow and develop. The team are attentive, caring, knowledgeable and highly engaged with our daughter. Feedback and development plans are always given – on time, in full and always followed through. I cannot recommend Magic Tower enough! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl.

June 8, 2022 at 12:00 amThis is our second term at Magic Tower and the experience has far exceeded our already high expectations, given their excellent reputation. We have been amazed at how quickly our daughter is learning new things, and the confidence and independence Magic Tower has already instilled in her. She loves going to nursery, and has formed a very special bond with both teachers and classmates. As parents, we love how warm and welcoming the whole team is, be it Forest School, the Jubilee Picnic – or simply at drop off/pick up – there is a genuine sense that everyone at Magic Tower is invested in creating a positive and happy learning environment for the children. Highly recommend!

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Egg Day Nursery at The Magic Tower Montessori for 14 months now and she is thriving thanks to the care and expertise of the lovely staff here. The facilities are perfect for little ones and she is enjoying her forest school afternoons. I love how the children have the opportunity to learn about things they are interested in and to share their interests with their friends. My daughter has grown so much in confidence during her time here. Thank you to the staff for the support you have given, we are so grateful that our little girl has had the opportunity to attend such a positive and caring nursery.

June 2, 2023 at 12:00 amNothing but high praise for this wonderful nursery. It’s a wonderful place where my child has come on leaps and bounds. Staff are always very informative and I always feel she is in exceptional care from all the staff.

June 8, 2023 at 12:00 amThe nursery workers go above and beyond. The children are in the best hands. Both of my kids are happy there.
Inside and out is a nice welcoming place. We had friends who recommended the nursery but for sure it was the best choice for us.

June 15, 2023 at 12:00 amOverall, I am very happy with The Magic Tower (Busy Bees Andover) nursery. My child is happy there and thrives in the environment. They seem to learn a great deal and come home with various things they have done throughout the day. The staff there are second to none; friendly, knowledgeable and put the children front and centre of what they do. Since it has been taken over by Busy Bees, the communication hasn’t been as good as I would have hoped. The weekly newsletter now only appears once a month and is about the whole of Busy Bees, so hardly mentions Magic Tower. I am saddened that the website is virtually non existent still after months and months. There is very little information on it, when it used to be full of anything you would want to know. Overall, I cannot fault the staff at Magic Tower.

August 7, 2023 at 12:00 amThe Magic Tower is a wonderfully positive environment for my daughter, and she absolutely loves the staff here. They are learning new things every day and are encouraged to develop through free play and set activities, which she really loves. The staff are attentive and very informative about what has taken place each day, and I always feel that my questions are answered with care and understanding.
I feel the extra work the staff have to complete as a result of becoming part of Busy Bees has impacted them and means less time for other things. If they had been allowed to continue as they were, this would have been better. As far as I can tell, Busy Bees is in charge of the signage for the nursery and invoicing, but nothing of any value as far as having any meaningful positive impact is concerned. The years of experience and dedication from all staff members are a testament to the Magic Tower brand, and as far as I am concerned, it remains the Magic Tower. Long live The Magic Tower!
