Review from Matthew R (Father of Child) published on 2 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been on a journey with Tops Babbacombe for 3 years now and what a great journey it has been. I feel the skills, behaviours and talents my son has learned have contributed to his readiness for school and life. The manager and her team really put their all into the children and every child is as important as the next. I see happy staff and happy children and that is the pillar to a good nursery in my opinion.

Overall Experience

We love Tops Day Nurseries. My daughter attended before she went to school so couldn’t wait to head back. My son is 9 and half months old and absolutely loves Tops and all the girls. As any mum, I was beside myself leaving him at such a young age but he didn’t bat an eyelid and is always full of smiles when I return to pick him up, I love the daily updates of activities and new things he has learnt also to follow, food/drink/bottle and bum changes. Overall a happy mumma.

Review from Yasmin P (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Tops Day Nurseries: Babbacombe is absolutely outstanding! From the curriculum right through to the warming staff and caring environment. I feel safe to leave my child here knowing he is cared for as one of their own. Our first experience with a nursery didn’t go very well leaving my child very upset upon leaving him. He now turns up to Tops Day Nurseries with a huge smile on his face!

Lastly, the Tops manager is always going above and beyond to ensure both my son and myself are looked after. It’s not just a place for my son to be minded, it’s a second home to us.

Overall Experience

I find my daughter has much more confidence since joining the journey. She tells me how much fun she has. She is anxious in the mornings when I drop her off and the staff reassure her. I feel my daughter is looked after and safe.

Most friendly staff and reassuring to know my child is being looked after by the most amazing girls. My daughter is so happy when I pick her up and is so eager to stay when I drop her off. Couldn't speak higher of this nursery.

Review from Megan W (Mother of Child) published on 15 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son enjoys his time at nursery and is enjoying going off-site more, (would be nice to see more trips during the summer). He likes cooking and yoga sessions. The staff always make him feel at ease when upset/anxious and he enjoys lots of hugs. I would like to see more/be told about more planned learning activities e.g. maths, letters, forest school sessions to ensure he is fully stimulated and learning along the way. Food could be a little less pricey compared to other nurseries. On occasions, the toilets could be cleaner but this is my only complaint. Would recommend.

Overall Experience

Tops Day Nursery has recently taken over what used to be Noah's Ark Nursery. Throughout my son attending this nursery for the last year they have been excellent. Lovely staff, who are creative and thoughtful. The last nursery our son went to was poor, so we know when a nursery is good. Our son used to be given sausage rolls and crisps for a snack, whereas now it is fruit and vegetables. The activities organised by the staff are also excellent and educational. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.
