Tops Day Nurseries is starting to offer open days and show arounds again, get in touch to find out more!

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.

Tops Day Nurseries: Exeter Nursery

from Laura P (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been really pleased with our experience at Tops Exeter. Communication is excellent - we always feel informed and staff let us know immediately if there are any problems or there is important information.
My son has a lot of fun at the nursery and is also learning a lot every day. The staff
do their best to make him feel welcome.
I am also impressed with the food and drink on offer as it is nutritious and appetising.

Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery

from W T (Father of Child) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Tops Yeovil have been nothing but fantastic to my son! It has so been so great to see him evolve over the last year and a bit since starting at Topps Yeovil.
The workers are kind and caring, providing daily updates and are very welcoming upon drop off and pick up!
Even when Seth is away from the nursery
he cannot help himself saying the key worker names as well as the many little friends he has made there! Even at home with his Father when we go out he thinks that he's going to nursery!
He truly is very fond of going to Topps as well as the fantastic people he gets to be with and play, I'm very happy that of all the nurseries we viewed that we ultimately choose Topps, one of the best decisions my Wife and I made as parents for sure!
Thank you Topps!

Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son's first nursery experience has been wonderful. The staff helped him settle in so well, they are caring, professional, and truly dedicated. The management is excellent, always responsive and well organized. I'm very happy with how happy my son has become while being there.
The only small suggestion
I have is that it would be great if meals were not obligatory, so parents could choose to bring their child's own food or diet if needed.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased and would highly recommend this nursery to other parents

Tops Day Nurseries: Mini Mariners Nursery

from Hannah W (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Our child attended for two years, 3xweek. They were settled and generally happy but more could have been done to support development and overall the experience - communication with parents was poor. We have chosen to send our younger child to a different setting. Examples;
Despite repeated requests
there was no regular reports/parents evening (we were initially advised 3xyear), repeated promises this would be scheduled it was not. We had 2x 1-1 with key workers, and only received a 2 year development report.
Advertised forest school and other activities (cook school, off site visits etc) never happened. Generally activities felt repetitive. Little was done to communicate themes, curriculum, learning journey to us to support.
Staff turnover was high - this was poorly managed with little communication to parents/support to the children. ie key worker leaving was communicated to us, the day before (in front of our son) verbally, then several weeks for a new key worker to be assigned

Tops Day Nurseries: Copnor Nursery

from Rosie B (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

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.

Lymington is such a warm, friendly and caring setting. It really feels like our daughter is part of a community which is a wonderful feeling!

Tops Day Nurseries: Warminster Nursery

from T R (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son absolutely loves going to nursery every day, and as a parent, that makes me so happy and confident that he is in the right place. The environment is warm, friendly, and full of care. The staff are amazing - always kind, patient, and genuinely interested in every child's progress and well-being.


Since

starting nursery, my son has learned so many new things. His speech has improved, he has become more confident, independent, and curious about the world around him. The activities are so creative and varied - from arts and crafts to outdoor play, sensory learning, and story time. It's wonderful to see how much fun he has while learning something new every single day.
The communication between staff and parents is excellent. I always feel informed about what my child is doing, learning, and enjoying at nursery. It's clear that the team truly cares about every little detail!
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

My son has been part of the Tops family for 3 years. During his time he has flourished with support from his Keyworker. His speech and language development has been remarkable, this is had a massive improvement on how he communicates with his peers and adults alike. Potty training was a struggle but
I received support and advice from his keyworker which made all the difference. My son is now a confident happy young man with a real passion for adventure which is encouraged not only at home but his nursery too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!
