In 1910, Winifred Banks returns to her home in London after a [[suffragette]] rally ("[[Sister Suffragette]]") and learns that her children's nanny, Katie Nanna, has quit after her children, Jane and Michael, ran away "for the fourth time this week." Later that night, Winifred's strict and ambitious husband George returns home from his job at the bank ("[[The Life I Lead (song)|The Life I Lead]]") and places a newspaper advertisement for a stern, no-nonsense nanny. Jane and Michael present their own advertisement for a kind, sympathetic nanny ("[[The Perfect Nanny (song)|The Perfect Nanny]]"), but George rips up their letter and throws the scraps in the fireplace. A strong wind draws the scraps up through the chimney and into the sky.
The next day, several sour-faced nannies await outside the Banks family's home, but a strong gust of wind magically blows them away. Jane and Michael then witness a young woman using an umbrella as a [[parachute]] to gracefully descend from the sky. The woman introduces herself as [[Mary Poppins (character)|Mary Poppins]]. To George's shock, Mary is holding the children's advertisement, and the scraps have been put back together. She agrees with the advertisement's requests but promises George that she will be firm with his children. Mary hires herself and convinces George it was originally his idea. Upstairs, Mary helps the children magically tidy up their nursery ("[[A Spoonful of Sugar]]").
