Tops Day Nurseries is a family of 29-day nurseries across the south, covering Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and Devon.
Tops Day Nurseries is the most sustainable childcare and educational group in the UK. In practice, this means children are actively engaged in reducing, re-using and recycling resources; in growing and caring for animals and learning to respect each other and the environment.
Behind the scenes, Tops are working on a whole host of actions too to ensure all buildings eco-ratings are improving; that waste is separated effectively so that food waste goes to farms if possible, and is incinerated for energy if not, that none of the waste goes to landfill.
Tops area managers even have electric-only vehicles to avoid making the environment any worse for children from driving around.
The group provides children with a happy and secure environment where trained and qualified staff nurture their development through a range of activities, including messy play, cooking, problem-solving, storytelling, creative play and trips out.
Extra-curricular activities are also offered.
These include Tops forest school, tooth brushing, meditation, Tops cooking school and rugby rangers.
The nurseries care for children aged between three months and five years and offer 2, 3 and 4-year-old funding.
Staff at Tops Day Nurseries pride themselves on offering flexible hours tailored to parents’ and carers’ needs, where they can save money by booking to the nearest 15 minutes.

I cannot praise Tops Day Nurseries Warminster enough! Luna has developed so much since attending, and it amazes me how clever she is becoming. The staff are all so helpful, caring and supportive, and Luna absolutely loves them. They cater brilliantly for her dietary needs, which gives us great peace of mind as parents. Luna always looks forward to going to nursery to play with her friends, and it makes us so happy knowing she is settled, learning and enjoying herself. We are so grateful to the whole team for the wonderful care they provide and the difference they make to Luna's development. Thank you Tops Warminster x

Choosing a nursery as a first-time mum was nerve-wracking, but sending my son to Tops at 10 months was the best decision. He settled immediately and is absolutely thriving! The daily photos are lovely, and his confidence has noticeably grown when we're out and about.
The cooked meals are exceptional, saving us huge amounts of time while ensuring he eats a varied diet. What really sets Tops apart, though, is their flexibility. We've changed our hours twice as our routine evolved, and they've made it seamless. It's rare to find a nursery that truly supports working parents this well. Highly recommended.
Both our children love this nursery. They are always excited to go in and love all of the staff. Both children have thrived being there from 9months old.

Tops is a fabulous nursery, the practitioners go above and beyond to nurture the children whilst also giving them plenty of space to explore independence through play and their absolutely amazing outdoor space (and the wooden fort in the pre-schooler room is just WOW if you're a 3 or 4 year old!) With three children in the setting we have had an experience across all parts of the nursery, all of which have been really positive. The food served is exceptional, real food and plenty of opportunities to explore different meals. This is excellent for my two 'good' eaters, yet my picky eater is always given a safe option and really supported to try little bits of new food with no pressure.
The one thing that truly stands out at Tops is how dedicated and genuinely caring the team are. All three children have developed really lovely relationships with the staff and it is just so heart warming to see this reciprocated. Our children are so happy and thriving at Tops, truly recommend!

It means the world to us to hear that all three of your children are so happy and thriving at Tops. We're especially pleased that you've had such positive experiences across the nursery and that our team has built such lovely relationships with each of your children.
It's also fantastic to hear how much you value our outdoor spaces, opportunities for independent play and approach to mealtimes. We know every child is different, so creating a nurturing environment where they feel confident to explore and try new things at their own pace is incredibly important to us.
We'll be sure to share your lovely words with the team, who will be absolutely delighted. Thank you for trusting us with your little ones and for being part of our Tops family!

We are extremely pleased with the team and environment at Tops Trowbridge. Our child has made strong connections with the staff and other children, and we can see she loves going to nursery. Staff are professional, caring, and provide us with daily updates of our child's learning and development. The facilities are excellent - everything is new, clean and spacious. High importance is placed on sustainability with a reusable nappy programme and wooden toys. As parents we can rest assured knowing our child is getting nutritious, gourmet food from a no-sugar-added menu. We couldn't be happier with Tops Trowbridge.

Our daughter has been at Tops in Wareham for nearly two years, and we couldn't have asked for a better nursery.
From the very beginning, she has built the loveliest bonds with both the staff and the other children, and she is always happy to go in.
The love and care the team show her every day is incredible. They treat each child as an individual, and it shows in how settled, confident and happy she is. She has learnt so much during her time here, and we've loved watching her grow and develop.
If you're looking for a nursery where your child will be truly cared for and given the best possible start, I can't recommend Tops highly enough. Thank you to everyone on the team!

We had a very poor experience with this nursery. The staff often appeared overwhelmed and, at times, dismissive of parents' concerns. We noticed a lack of individual attention given to the children, and our child often seemed unhappy or unguided during pick-up times. Basic care and emotional support seemed lacking. We decided to move our child to a different setting where they feel much safer and more valued.
The overall management of this nursery is chaotic and unsafe.

We honestly couldn't recommend Tops Day Nursery enough. Our son has been going since he was just 9 months old and is now almost 2, and it has been so lovely to see how much he has grown, developed and thrived during his time there. He loves going in, and it's so lovely to see how excited and happy he is every morning. Knowing he is so settled, content and so well cared for gives us complete peace of mind. Our son loves all the staff there, and so do Mummy and Daddy! We'd especially like to give a huge shout out to the Baby Room. Our boy absolutely loves it in there and has formed such a special bond with Christina, Betty, Rach and Happy. They have all been so wonderful with him and clearly care about him so much, which means the world to us as parents.
It's clear that the whole team genuinely love what they do, and that really shines through in the care, kindness and attention they give to the children. We're so grateful for everything they do.

My daughter started here in July and has been doing amazing , at her previous nursery I took her out after 3 weeks, as she is very nervous and attached to me she didn't settle well at all. However at Tops, she has created some lovely bonds with staff here and that has given me a lot of comfort , as well as this she always has lots of fun throughout the day and is fed well with healthy snacks and lunch! I have noticed she has become more sociable with other children her age when we're at soft play and has become more confident in herself. I would recommend tops to anyone!
