Tops Day Nurseries: Winchester Nursery
from F H (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Tops Day Nursery in Winchester since he was 8 months old, he started in the Explorers Room and is now 3 and in Pre-School. He absolutely loves his time there and has made such progress with so many things. I as a Mother have felt supported as well as feeling my son is very

supported. His needs are always met and the staff really take the time to recognise what his likes and dislikes are. I believe this massively helps with his development as they extend his learning through play and help him work through his 'big' emotions :)
Honestly don't know where I'd be without them!

Reply from Gheanielle Gordula, Marketing Assistant at Tops Day Nurseries: Winchester NurseryThank you so much for this lovely review! We're so proud to have been part of your son's journey from Explorers to Pre-School. Supporting your little one through their learning, playing, and development is at the heart of what we do, and our Tops Winchester team will be so touched by your kind words. Thank you for for being a part of Tops family!

Tops Day Nurseries: Copnor Nursery
from Rosie B (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter graduated from Tops Copnor in August 2025 after attending for 2 years. I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole team. We came to Tops Copnor after a very negative experience elsewhere which knocked my little girls confidence. The team were so wonderful, she settled perfectly

and they renewed our trust as parents.
We knew each day she attended she would be surrounded by incredibly caring staff who kept her entertained and learning from the moment we dropped her off right to pick up. She had so many fabulous experiences from cooking school and forest school too trying such a wide range of wonderful foods on the menu. She came home with new words, songs and knowledge every day and genuinely thrived in their care.
My daughter left and started primary this year and even now she still asks when she can go and visit. There aren't enough words to express how much we appreciate and highly reccomend Jenny and the whole team at Tops!

Reply from Ellen Wentworth, Marketing Assistant at Tops Day Nurseries: Copnor NurseryThank you so much for your positive review Rosie, we are so pleased that you and your little one enjoyed Tops Copnor, the wonderful enrichment activites and no-added sugar menus that we offer :)

Tops Day Nurseries: Lymington Nursery
from Kate S (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Both our children have been through Tops Lymington from babies to preschool and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. They've both really enjoyed their time there and have made lovely friends. The staff are all friendly and engaged and everything is well managed with good communication. As a busy working

parent I find they understand my needs and always try to be accommodating with all the logistics, which I have found invaluable.

Reply from Ellen Wentworth, Marketing Assistant at Tops Day Nurseries: Lymington NurseryThank you for your positive review Kate, we are so pleased you have benefited from our flexibility :)

Tops Day Nurseries: Portsmouth Nursery
from Stephanie G (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending here since she was 14m old (she's almost 4 now and has graduated from the nursery)
I have only seen positive outcomes from this nursery, they provide a nurturing and engaging atmosphere for the children, they have supported and encouraged my daughter's confidence, inquisitive

mind, and growth throughout her time there and she has absolutely thrived!
The food is healthy and delicious which follows on from what she has at home
They are a sustainable nursery which has taught my daughter great skills to protect the world she is growing up in with minimal waste.
The staff are all friendly and so supportive of the children and parents
My daughter will miss attending here and we are sad that her journey of nursery has ended!
Highly recommend!

Reply from Gheanielle Gordula, Marketing Assistant at Tops Day Nurseries: Portsmouth NurseryWe're so grateful for your wonderful message.

Tops Day Nurseries: Lymington Nursery
from N A (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Tops for a few months now, and from our very first contact, the team has been incredibly professional and supportive. Since he started, we've noticed such positive changes in him-he's flourishing and quickly picking up skills and knowledge that he previously lacked. He always

seems so happy while he's there and frequently asks to go back!

The entire team is very welcoming, not just to the children but to our whole family. They take the time to listen to us as parents and are always available for a chat and updates during pick-up time. During a challenging period in my life, they showed such understanding and compassion, which I truly appreciated.

I feel very at ease knowing that my child is in their care. The staff are attentive, caring, and patient with the children, and it gives me great comfort to leave him with such a wonderful team!

Reply from Gheanielle Gordula, Marketing Assistant at Tops Day Nurseries: Lymington NurseryThank you so much for your kind feedback. We're thrilled to hear how much your son has flourished since joining Tops Lymington and that he's so happy to come in each day. It means a lot to know the team's support and compassion have made such a difference for both you and your family. Your message will mean the world to everyone here, and we look forward to watching him continue to grow and thrive! Thank you for being such a valued part of our Tops family.

Tops Day Nurseries: Copnor Nursery
from Ainn D (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This review has been long overdue-I've been meaning to write it for a while now! Our daughter joined the nursery in January 2025 when she was just 14 months old. Honestly, I was quite anxious about the whole thing.
However, all my worries quickly faded. From the very beginning, I noticed such a positive

change in her. She comes home from nursery full of energy, so cheerful, talkative, and active. Her little happy dance and the songs she sings after each session just melt our hearts-it's the sweetest sight!
A massive thank you to everyone involved in her care. It's clear how loved and well-looked-after she is, and we really appreciate all the effort that goes into making her day so enjoyable. A special shout-out to the team for sharing regular photo updates-I eagerly wait for those every time (I'll admit, I'm always very curious to see what she's up to)!

Reply from Funke Olotu, Marketing at Tops Day Nurseries: Copnor NurseryThank you so much for your lovely review, it truly means the world to us! We're so pleased to hear how well your daughter has settled in since joining us in January, and it's wonderful to know how much joy and confidence she's gained already. Her little happy dance and songs sound absolutely adorable!We're really grateful for your kind words about our team. Knowing that you feel reassured and connected through the photo updates is exactly what we aim for-thank you for sharing that with us. It's a pleasure to be part of your daughter's early years, and we look forward to continuing to support her as she grows and thrives.Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

from S J (Mother of Child) published on 18 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My little boy loves going to nursery. He has been there for nearly 3 years and they have been supportive and caring each stage of development. Offering useful hints and tips when asked, or putting my mind at rest when worried(currently fussy eating). I love the food menu offered and how it caters for

dietary needs. Communication is great and really love getting photos to see what he's up to. Including updates on all the activities they have been up to each week.

Reply from Funke Olotu, Marketing at Tops Day Nurseries: Southsea NurseryThank you for sharing your lovely feedback! We're so pleased to hear how much your little boy enjoys coming to nursery and that you've felt supported through each stage of his development.

from H R (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Tops Day Nurseries: Portsmouth Nursery has a great regular team, most of the staff have been there since my first attended 4 years ago. One of my children is in preschool 3 and they are just great, when your little girl refers to her care provider as her 'bestie' this just shows the relationships and

bonds they create. One member of staff is great with the arts and crafts and producing great activities with forest school, and what I appreciate the most is that he uploads observations all the time, providing me with some insight as to what she gets up to each day. Their handovers are always fantastic I especially like handovers he is always very enthusiastic and you can tell he loves his job. All staff are friendly and provide a warm welcome to my daughter at every drop-off. I can't thank them enough and highly recommend Tops Portsmouth to any one who asks.
The addition of cooking school is a lovely touch, that my daughter looks forward to every week.

from Christina H (Mother of Child) published on 26 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to nursery. She has formed a wonderful relationship with the team as have we as the parents. We feel well informed when we pick her up. I love the updates/photos we get. I always look forward to the photos and seeing what she has been up to.
The team offer lovely learning opportunities

for the children and I feel my daughter has learnt a lot with them in the short time she been attending (4 months at the time of writing). Seeing her progression with the assessments and reports helps me know what milestones to support my daughter with.
My daughter is a real foodie and the meal choices seem to be appreciated by her. The nursery opens at 7am supporting working parents.
The office staff are also very helpful and friendly. They helped me with my paper work to get the working parent funds. They are patient and made me feel comfortable to ask questions.
Thank you for all the hard work you put in to make my daughters experience at nursery a positive one.

Overall Experience

I have had my little boy with Tops at Winchester for over two years now where he will stay until he starts school next year. Due to my overall experience, I have no nervousness or anxiety about my little girl starting there soon. I honestly cannot fault any of the wonderful staff there. They are so

personable, friendly and helpful. My little boy has made so many close relationships with all of his key workers in each setting and has developed his knowledge and skills beyond my expectations. He comes home from pre-school with a full tummy and lots to say about his day. Staff go above and beyond to help with anything and nothing is too much. Handovers are always really informative with feedback on what he has been up to for the day. We have had lots of help with listening skills and other personal developmental steps too. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone! Thank you all.
