Tops Havant, formerly known as Trospacc Day Nursery, is a friendly, active nursery based on the grounds of Trosnant Junior School.

The nursery environment provides an excellent opportunity for your child to learn, play and communicate with other children and adults. This nursery is part of a group that provides the most eco-sustainable childcare and education in the UK, being respectful of the environment and acting to reduce, re-use and recycle resources is an important part of the culture and routine for the children and staff.

In October 2018, Tops Havant were the 1st nursery in the UK to be awarded the Surfers Against Sewers title of Plastic Free Schools.

Parents with their children placed with Tops will experience exactly what makes Tops Day Nurseries different and be offered flexible booking where they can book to the nearest 15 minutes.

Tops Day Nurseries has recently introduced a number of extracurricular activities for the children including: Tops Cooking School, Tops Forest School, meditation, yoga, Rugby Rangers, Boogie Mites, tooth brushing and much more.

During a child’s day at nursery, staff will record important information to share with families, such as sleep times/nappy changes and information about milk/food intake. This information is added to a daily report which is submitted onto EYLOG.

Tops Day Nurseries has introduced a no-added sugar menu to all nurseries, ensuring children start their time at nursery with a nutritional, healthy diet.

Parents and carers are welcome to call the nursery to talk to a member of staff about their child and day at nursery.

The nursery offers up to 30 hours funding which is available for two, three- and four-year-olds.

We are very happy with the preschool setting for our little one, our son enjoys attending. We have found all the staff to be friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and helpful. The staff know and care for individual children well, offer comfort when needed and help children explore the world around them
to extend their learning. Staff are always ready to listen and offer support beyond the ‘normal’ educational needs to families. The children’s safety is paramount and we feel very happy to leave our son in their care and can always check he is ok throughout the day.

Both my children attend Tops Havant and I couldn't be more grateful for all the support I have received from them and the support and guidance they give to my children. Both my children have excellent key workers and are very approachable. All the staff including management and office, are happy, kind,
friendly and supportive to my children and to us as parents. It's a lovely atmosphere and the care my children receive is ace! All round a brilliant setting for my children to be in.

My little boy has only been going to Tops since late last year and he’s already coming on heaps and bounds. The staff are so supportive and caring of not just my child’s needs but for us too.
Couldn’t recommend them enough.

My daughter attended another nursery, which wasn't meeting my daughter's needs or mine as a parent. Being a nursery practitioner myself, I know what the job entails. Since she has attended I've noticed a massive change in listening and understanding, her confidence and being independent in her choices.
Amazing staff from all the rooms to the managers. My daughter's key worker is amazing and so are all the other staff that work in preschool. Totally wish my daughter had attended sooner. As a parent, you want the best for your child. This nursery is amazing. I'm one happy parent. So thank you so much, ladies. Appreciate all the hard work you do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I was very worried about my son starting a new preschool for his last year before big school as he had been in his previous one for almost 3 years and being a nursery practitioner myself I needed to make sure it was the right one for my son. After some looking
around at different places, I loved the setting in which Tops had to offer. My son has settled really well and I will miss all the girls when it's his time to leave as they all go that extra mile to put the effort in to tell you about his day, so thank you, girls, you're doing a fab job. Keep up the work.

My son is coming to the end of his nursery journey and I’d like the time to thank all the girls that work in the preschool room. I’ve watched my son go from being a shy little boy to a cheeky monkey and that’s all thanks to his key worker and the rest of the team. Thank you so much ladies!

My daughter loves attending the nursery. She gets so excited and really enjoys talking about all of her friends. My daughter enjoys lots of activities and likes to engage with everybody within the setting. The staff are always polite and keep us up to date with her progress. A fantastic nursery experience
and I look forward to her continuing her journey with them.

My child started last week and even though he struggles with separation from me the staff have made it a bit easier with distracting him, the classroom has a lovely quiet corner and all the activities set up for the kids are great for their development.

My son has been going to Tops Day Nursery for about 3-4 months and since he's been going he's completely come out of his shell. His speech has become incredible! Will sit and have conversations with him and he's only two. Every day he tells me about his day and how much fun he has had. He has learnt
to clean up after himself and learnt how to share and play nicely and his manners are out of this world. He always says please and thank-you. I'm so happy I picked this nursery I wouldn't change. The staff are so friendly and kind. They ate so much and you can tell as soon you walk into the building. His eating since being there has improved. I recommend this nursery to anyone I know. I'm over the moon with the choice of putting my son here. Making memories with his friends and teachers is all that matters. My son loves this nursery. The people, the toys.. he has fun every day.

Fab nursery!
My daughter is very well looked after and feels very comfortable here now after a tearful start - staff were very helpful in finding different ways to encourage separation from myself and her Dad, and now she loves coming here. My son also used to attend before he started school and he
loved it too!
Any issues we've come across have been dealt with quickly and efficiently and we are very happy with how it is run.
We always feel listened to and very much involved with things such as progress and learning.
There's plenty for the children to do and the standard of care is fantastic!
Would recommend Tops Day Nursery - Havant to anybody 5*

Very friendly staff and supportive in helping, for example, my son is potty training and they are helping me. They have a big space indoors and outdoors lots of activities to do. They are flexible in their hrs which is great if you are working, nothing is too much trouble for them, highly recommended.

January was my son's first month and it didn't take him long to settle in at all. We have noticed in the short time he has been going how well he listens to others. I cannot fault what they do at the nursery and the staff all seem friendly and approachable.

Our daughter started at Tops Day Nursery - Havant in September 2016. She was very shy at first and would get quite upset when we left her. It was such a comfort knowing that all of the staff there were so friendly and patient with her and before long she was running in beaming with joy to see all of
her friends and her teachers!! I cannot praise them enough! The food range they supply is brilliant and it's encouraged her to want to try new things! She loves helping me tidy at home now and I can see her using so many new skills she has developed since joining! The app that parents are able to use to watch their children's development is outstanding and I have never known of any other nursery to have such technology it's great!!

I am very impressed with the way they helped my daughter settle in. All the staff are very nice and obviously communicate, which is very important to me. I also like how you are given update emails on how your child development is going. Overall, I am extremely happy and impressed by the nursery and
would recommend to anyone to send their children to Tops Day Nursery - Havant.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.391)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.391) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Havant Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.646 for Tops Day Nurseries: Havant Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.646
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.745 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Havant Nursery is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.37
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
