Our overall review of tops is brillant, our daughter moved to them last year from another nursery.

Review of Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery from Rebecca C (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. From the very first day, it was clean that this place is built on genuine care, warmth, and a deep understanding of my childs needs. The staff are highly professional and compassionate we've seen such a positive difference in my childs development. It is really reasurring to drop my child off everyday knowing they are in such capable and loving hands. The communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates, photos and feedback. I cannot thank my daughters key worker for everything that she has done.

Review of Tops Day Nurseries: Salisbury Nursery from Sarah-Jane F (Mother of Child) published on 8 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The team have been so lovely and really looked after my daughter. They have been really accommodating and helped me continue to breastfeed as well as settle my daughter into a new routine. She had a bit of a tough time getting used to nursery but now goes in with a smile and waves me off. She was poorly in her first week and they acted promptly to tell me and helped her settle her back in as she recovered from an ear infection.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been in the explorers' room since January and has already made the most wonderful connection with her key worker. The communication if she has a bump or seems unwell is fantastic, which really reassures us! She is never upset to go in the morning and is always happy when we pick her up, which speaks volumes about the staff and how much fun she has. Thank you, everyone, for taking such good care of our pride and joy!

Reply from Ellen Wentworth, Marketing Manager at Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery

Review of Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery from Fern W (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This Nursery has been fantastic. The staff are welcoming, caring and friendly. The care they provide for my child is exceptional. My child is in the room for the younger children the room is clean they make sure they don't wear shoes in there so it stays clean for little ones crawling around. They have a fantastic outdoor space for the younger children and the older ones. They provide nutritious varied meals and snacks through out the day. I also receive daily updates which include photos of the activities they do and in-depth details about the activities. These are planned around their development and learning. After I have picked up my child I also receive details about what they have eaten and how much, when they have napped and for how long and also how often they have had nappy changes. Over all I couldn't be happier I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. My child absolutely loves going building strong relationships with the wonderful staff and other children around them

Overall Experience

Tops Nursery has been amazing for my daughter! She has been attending since she was 6 months old and is now nearly 2. The staff know her inside out and she loves everyone especially her key person. Her development has been incredible and the staff are so supportive in helping her learn. I wouldn't want my child to go to any other nursery!

Review of Tops Day Nurseries: Lakeside Nursery from Mandy E (Grandmother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Granddaughter has settled so well in the nursery. She settles so quickly after being dropped off and comes out smiling. The photos and observations sent are lovely and really show how much she enjoys her time there. She is also trying foods at nursery that she refuses at home. She talks about the staff in her room at home which makes it obvious to us that she has a good bond with them and feels safe.

Reply from Ellen Wentworth, Marketing Manager at Tops Day Nurseries: Lakeside Nursery
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear your granddaughter has settled so well and is enjoying her time with us.

Thank you for being part of the Tops family :)

Review of Tops Day Nurseries: Poole Nursery from C T (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Poole Tops has been the perfect childcare choice for our little one. We picked it because of its convenience, but we've stayed because of their care. We love that they support their staff to continually grow and develop through qualifications - it means staff take a proactive interest in the care and activity ideas for the kids. Their staff care so deeply for every child and go out of their way to ensure each one feels included, valued, and loved; while taking real joy from seeing them thrive, learn, and grow. Their communication with us parents is fantastic - we feel well informed and supported, but not overwhelmed or harassed. They are very responsive to feedback, and have always been happy to answer my many questions! Our son LOVES nursery - he has made such deep friendships, and adores his teachers. It's prepared him so perfectly for starting school.

Reply from Ellen Wentworth, Marketing Manager at Tops Day Nurseries: Poole Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we'll be sure to share this with the Tops Poole team. We're so pleased our care and passion have come through to you and your little one. We love having you as part of the Tops family :)

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves attending nursery. She has been welcomed in by all of the staff and she now has a fantastic bond with all of them. They have been so supportive of me as well and been a listening ear when needed. They have provided support and reassurance through my little girls start on a SEN pathway. The nursery is well maintained inside and out, and is a fantastic place for them to learn about recycling and reusables. I couldn't ask for better for us.

Review of Tops Day Nurseries: Warminster Nursery from Hollie C (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Top Days Warminster for a year now and I cannot recommend them enough.
From the get go the staff have been attentive, informative, warm and friendly. I absolutely love receiving detailed observations throughout the day and seeing what my daughter has been getting up to.
We've been receiving a little bit of extra support as my daughter was a late bloomer to learning to walk which has been excellent & so reassuring.
The setting is perfect with ample outdoor space for lots of activities & lots of toys, books & creative tuff tray areas each day inside too.
I cannot fault the nursery or staff at all. My daughter has absolutely blossomed since attending. Her speech is incredible, she surprises me everyday with something new and she has made lovely connections with the other children and members of staff.

A brilliant nursery & so glad I signed her up here!
