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.

Being a first-time mum, leaving my child in stranger's care was daunting. However, Tops Bretonside ensured an easy transition. Answering all my questions with great patience. My child has grown and come on leaps and bounds. Talking, walking and just overall growing. They have taken amazing care and truly eased my anxieties. My child has built great confidence thanks to Tops.

My son has been attending the Tops Day Nurseries: Bretonside Nursery since he was 6 months old. He enjoys his time there, plenty of activities are available to him to keep him entertained.

We have now reached the end of my daughter's preschool journey before she starts reception and all I can say is I'm so glad I chose Tops Bretonside as her preschool. My daughter is a more well-rounded individual and I can truly say I think she is really for reception. Her teachers have taught her basic numbers, letter writing, storytelling, how to share, and just given her a brilliant education even though it's preschool. Thank you to the staff and manager who were prominent in her time at Tops. We love you.

Some members of staff were better at communicating regarding our daughter but quite often we had to clarify things that happened (or not?) e.g. activities.
Overall we are happy with the school.

My daughter really enjoys attending nursery and has flourished whilst being at Tops. The staff are caring, professional, friendly and welcoming. My daughter loves all the staff and I wouldn't have any other nursery take care of her. I receive daily updates on her progress and I can trust that any problems are dealt with promptly with the utmost care. I have recommended Tops nursery to many parents and will continue to do so. The manager is amazing and the staff are wonderful!

Good nursery close to the city centre. Very helpful staff all the time and we had prompt replies from management on our queries. After a bumpy start, our child now loves the place and we can see that he thrives in that environment. We are looking forward to increasing our hours once our working pattern is finalised.

A wonderful nursery. All the staff are friendly and polite. My child loves going every day of the week. They always come out happy when I collect them. I couldn't have picked a better nursery than Bretonside Nursery.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled your child loves Bretonside Nursery. Our friendly staff creates a nurturing environment, and we're delighted to be your top choice!
All the staff at Tops Day Nurseries: Bretonside Nursery are fantastic, they have made a huge impact on my daughter's development. She has been going to Brentonside Nursery from six months old and has come along brilliantly and always gets excited when we get close to nursery. All the staff are fantastic with my daughter and always update me or her dad with anything she does.
My child has been in Tops Day Nurseries: Bretonside Nursery since October 2022. In this time, staff have been absolutely amazing in supporting my child physically, emotionally and educationally, they have supported us as a family, assisting with information and signposting for support in areas needed not only for my child but for us all. Staff have been understanding, empathetic and fantastically patient when I have called for support and talked through strategies and ideas to help with day to say living.
So glad I chose this nursery for my daughter! She loves it and we have had a great experience, can’t fault the staff or her time there. She gets to experience a number of things which all help towards her development.
Thank you very much for your positive review, we really appreciate it!
My daughter has been attending Tops, Bretonside since January and absolutely love it. The nursery has a lovely, warm, inviting feel which is ultimately why we picked it. All the staff are dedicated and attentive to the children and my daughter is thriving since starting. Her keyworker updates us daily on how she's been and what she has eaten, which has made my transition back to work run smoothly. Overall, the nursery and staff are beyond amazing and we thank you for all the hard work.
Thank you very much for your positive review Lawri!
The staff are extremely helpful and I feel completely comfortable leaving my son in their care. In particular, our key worker has been an asset to the Bretonside team. She has given a great deal of support around my son's development and I feel like we can discuss anything around this topic without judgement. I am very pleased to have found this nursery for my 1-year-old.
Thank you for your lovely review Anna, we really appreciate it.
