Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. My son has been attending since he was 9 months old - he’s now approaching 3. Each member of staff has a lovely bond with him. They care so much about the children and I feel reassured and happy to have them taking care of my son while I’m at work. My son looks
forward to going to nursery and I know he has a great time as he can’t stop talking about all the great things he’s done when I pick him up!
Absolutely brilliant nursery and I can’t thank them enough for all they do. I really recommend!

Fantastic nursery. My son has been attending Tops since it opened. He absolutely loves his time there. He has advanced well at Tops. The staff has supported him in every educational need. His hearing was poor from a young age and the nursery have helped with this following care plans. The staff are
amazing and cannot thank them enough for looking after my child. The inside and outside space is plentiful. My son starts school in September but he will be attending the breakfast and after school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children attend Tops Prince Rock and I have nothing but praise for this nursery and all the staff who work there. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and take wonderful care of the children. The nursery is always packed full of new and exciting activities for the children to do and they
have a lovely large outdoor area with lots of fun things to explore and do. The manager is absolutely fantastic, so kind and friendly and really cares about the children which reflects throughout the nursery. She always arranges new and exciting day trips and visits. I really can't recommend this nursery enough. My kids always come home happy and telling me all about the exciting things they have been doing and I feel reassured they are being given the best start in life. Highly recommend!

Review from Tessa W (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended Tops since he turned 1 years old, not for childcare reasons at first I thought as being the only child at home a few hours a week would help him socialise and improve his development. I loved seeing him within the stay and play set up and it really put my mind to rest knowing that
I was leaving him in great hands. Tops have been excellent with support to my husband and myself as our son has been delayed in his speech and over the past 12 months with careful monitoring have helped to bring him along. He starts preschool in just two weeks time and he just loves it, he loves not only the fantastic key worker he’s had since day one but all the staff and children.
He especially enjoys the outside space and going on an adventure to the library. I am looking forward to seeing him progress further with the Tops team for his last year. Thank you for all you do!

Cannot fault this nursery. They always go beyond their duties to provide a happy nursery for the children. I love hearing stories from the children about how they have had the guide dogs visit, fire engine visit, children were taught CPR, hatched chicks and butterflies and even bake quiche and scones
for lunch! They also do Mothers/Father’s Day activities and a lovely show at Christmas. Recently the children went on a day trip which involved the bus and ferry.

Amazing staff, who go above and beyond for the children. Both my (older) son and daughter went to the nursery and it has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. Would recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Topps is a brilliant nursery. My grandson has spent his pre-school days with Topps since he was just a few months and his baby brother is about to follow. Staff are very friendly and caring. The ethos is excellent, they learn to respect and care for each other and they learn to care for their environment,
amongst so much more. The manager and deputy manager are excellent and go out of their way to plan activities to keep the children interested, entertained and always learning through their play. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Topps, Prince Rock.

Fantastic nursery with inspirational staff and management, whose ethos is based around respect for the children and the environment. My 3 year old son loves his time there and talks at length about what has captured his imagination during the session.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.381)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.381) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Prince Rock Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.381 for Tops Day Nurseries: Prince Rock Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.381
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Prince Rock Nursery is based on 13 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
