All the girls at tops do a fantastic job with all the kids can't fault them, my two children love going in, they are looked after so well and knowing the Girls put so much effort and love into what they do definitely puts my mind as ease with trusting them with my two Wouldn't recommend anywhere else!

Couldn’t fault any member of staff in the setting, from entering they’re so welcoming and a full description of what my son has been up to on collection, the app to see updated pictures of their adventures is lovely. Couldn’t wish for a better nursery to help my son flourish, so glad we have been here for 2 years.

Overall Experience

Both my children have thrived attending Tops Day Nurseries Fawley! They love going in, eating all their delicious healthy meals and having so much fun! I love receiving observations of them having fun while I'm at work! The menu has a lot of different healthy dishes I wouldn't cook myself at home so I love that my children try new dishes and enjoy them! The practitioners are always happy and my children greet them at the door like they would family with a big cuddle and run in happy to be there! The nursery is super flexible which works great around my work and is the earliest opening nursery in the area which is a bonus!

Since my daughter started at Tops Fawley they have provided excellent one-to-one care. My daughter has complex additional needs, and her one-to-one provides the best care for her. My daughter is so settled and has a great relationship with her one-to-one and all the team. Cannot thank the nursery enough.

Review from S W (Mother of Child) published on 18 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son loves nursery. Having not needed it with my first it was very daunting leaving him but I am included in everything even when I’m not there!
I often don't get a goodbye as he’s so keen to go in and see the staff!
He loves his meals. My only criticism would be that meal times are a little early, so by the time he comes home he’s tired for bed but hungry. I understand it needs to fit with nursery routine though.
My son gets his bag and runs to the front door as soon as I say we are going to nursery so he must love it.
The flexible hours are a godsend, as they mean I can book to suit my work hours rather than having to have him in nursery longer than I need.

Fab nursery! Highly recommend!

We're so glad to hear that your son loves nursery! It's wonderful to see his enthusiasm and eagerness to come in and spend time with us.

I feel so reassured when leaving my son that he is in safe hands and he is going to have a great time. He took a while to settle, but the staff have been so warm and welcoming he has soon adjusted and now talks about nursery all the time! We are so happy we chose Tops Nursery.

Our daughter has been attending Fawley Nursery since April 2021. She is happy to go in. The staff are lovely and very good at keeping us informed about activities during the day as well as progress on her development. We really like daily diary online updates on food, naps, photos and activities.

Our experience at Tops nursery, Fawley has been great. My son loves going and gets very excited when he sees all the staff members which definitely helps leaving him. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting in August, now speaking a lot more and he loves showing me all the new things he has learnt. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

Review from Louise S (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We moved to the area in July 2021 and needed to find a new nursery for our daughter - she was very happy in her previous nursery and we worried that we wouldn't find one that we all loved as much. From her first week, our daughter has loved it at Tops Fawley and she settled in quicker than we ever could have expected. The staff are all wonderful and our daughter thoroughly enjoys every day she spends here. The outdoor space, curiosity approach and focus on being eco friendly is a lovely environment for our daughter to grow and develop in and we couldn't have picked a better nursery.

I would like to thank Tops Day Nurseries: Fawley Nursery team for welcoming my daughter since January 2021. Since she’s started she’s getting more confident and is now very settled here, due to only being one and not seeing many people due to Covid-19 last year I was worried about how she would find being left. I can’t praise you enough for all your hard work and dedication to the children. The manager, the deputy and her key worker are worth their weight in gold.

Review from Emma W (Mother of Child) published on 29 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Tops Day Nurseries: Fawley Nursery has been amazing over the last eighteen months with our son. The team are so supportive in the settling in process with visits to the nursery for you and the child before starting. My son settled immediately due to the caring and nurturing environment that they have created. He has made friends and there is no fuss from him at drop off as he is so excited to go. We get regular updates via an app, so that we can see how he is getting on and a daily diary entry so we can see his routine from that day. The environment is stimulating and engaging for the children and challenges to further their development. During the pandemic the staff have been absolute superstars. Communication through emails has been very fast and they have been so flexible with hours and changes. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Overall Experience

My son loves coming to Tops Day Nursery in Fawley. He has made so many friends there and the staff are lovely. They always come to the door with a smile ready to greet the children. They are really flexible with timing and any additional hours that are needed. My son has come on so much with everything. They provide hot meals which my son loves trying new things. When you pick the children up after preschool they give you information on what they have been up to that day. I love the parents' app so we can see what the children have done as well. I love sending my child here.

Review from Laura H (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Tops Fawley is a wonderful setting, beautifully presented with an ethos that puts the child at the heart of everything they do. The staff are all extremely knowledgeable, welcoming and my son adores them which is shown when he happily goes into nursery for each session and his beaming face in pictures we are sent home of what he has been up to. The management are extremely approachable and committed to working with parents to ensure everyone is happy and well cared for. Tops Fawley is also extremely flexible with sessions, my son only needs a specific 8 hours each week which for most nurseries is out of the standard set hours. However, this is not a problem at Tops Fawley, allowing me to work and keep my childcare costs manageable to what I need. If you are looking for a nursery for your little one, Tops Fawley is 100% worth a visit.

Review from Arran B (Father of Child) published on 8 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Tops Day Nursery Fawley and their staff are truly amazing at their jobs and always approachable. They provide excellent childcare and I am always updated on my child’s progress and any updates within the nursery. The nursery is always clean and I know my child is safe. The nursery follows the curiosity approach and is all-natural. They are eco friendly and encourage us as a family to be as well. The nursery is beautiful and provides hot meals too which are nutritional and healthy. The thing I love about Tops is its flexibility around my hours of work and I can book my child in for what they need. They celebrate festivals from all over the world and I love seeing the Facebook posts and blogs. Overall my child enjoys and loves going to nursery and is always happy to go in.
