Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my son has been at Tops he has come so far. I was scared of sending my son to a nursery to start because he had only been left with family before. Tops made me feel at ease and most importantly made my son comfortable and kept him safe. All the staff at Tops have made me feel confident that my
son is safe and they’ve treated him as an individual they understand that each child is different and their needs are different too. I couldn’t be happier. They are amazing.

My children both attend Mini Beasts holiday club, they are both very happy and always look forward to going during the school holidays.
The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable with plenty of activities to keep them entertained during the day.
The staff keep me updated on how the children have
been during the day and I am happy leaving the children in their care as I know they will be looked after.

The staff at Leigh Road Wimborne are always extremely helpful and friendly. Not to mention the number of times I amend my daughters hours, it must drive the office crazy but no, they are always super happy and helpful! Also, love the portal!

My daughter has been attending for 6 months in the under 2s room and has come on leaps and bounds in her development since being there. The staff are always welcoming, and thorough in their feedback. Communication at Tops has been brilliant, with regular photo/video updates via the app which is reassuring
when I’m at work. The app tells me her exact nap times, bottle times & food amounts - it’s brilliant. She has a really lovely bond with her keyworker and goes in without a second thought. Definitely pleased we chose Tops Wimborne.

Tops Day Nursery - Wimborne is a lovely friendly nursery that has helped my 2 boys settle into both the nest and preschool with ease. The staff are brilliant at keeping us up to date with progress and always are very flexible for hours that are needed with adequate notice. I can always guarantee my
boys have had a great day when they come home all mucky covered in dirt from the garden and bits from the messy trays, I couldn't ask for more from a nursery.
I will be sorry for my boys to leave you and would always recommend others to join Tops Day Nursery - Wimborne.

Really excellent nursery. They care about my daughters well being as well as her development and reaching goals. They have given me excellent suggestions around nutrition and always update me on her progress and are never too busy to care for my daughter. I feel that she is getting excellent socialisation
and she has an opportunity to develop in other areas as well.

My little boy has been going to Tops Day Nursery - Wimborne since the end of February and it is the best choice I have ever made. My little boy has gone from not sleeping at night to sleeping the whole night through every night, he is always happy and well looked after. I feel this is an amazing nursery
and I can't thank them enough.

Review from P G (Grandmother of Child) published on 6 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As a grandparent, I really like the fact that I can park really easily, near the entrance to drop off my grandson. The staff are really helpful. The nursery has a large garden and the children go outside in all weathers, which is great as he lives on a farm and is outside all the time at home. He loves
meeting new people and has a good bond with his key person who sends us weekly observations through eyLog, which is available as an app. I love receiving these updates and seeing what he has been doing in the nursery. He has a schema and this is taken into account with the activities that they plan for him.
When he was a baby the nursery offered baby led weaning and now he is older he has nursery meals which are cooked by a chef, are sugar, salt and additive free and are reasonably priced for a three-course meal. They offer Cookery School, which he will probably do when he goes to Preschool.
The children go on trips and the nursery offers Tops Forest School.
Would recommend Tops.

I cannot recommend Tops Wimborne enough. The staff are all fantastic and have been since my son started in January 2016.
My youngest is due to start this year and I can feel comfortable knowing he's going to Tops Wimborne. Thank you.

Review from Emilie (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is 9 months old, after a terrible experience with a child minder I decided to put her in to a nursery, I had so many worries and concerns, however now they are gone!
My daughter is in 'The Nest', the room is small and cozy and completely perfect for her age group, especially as she is
a non mobile baby at the moment. Since starting the nursery I have been made to feel so comfortable and welcome, the staff are very friendly and reassuring. I feel always like I am leaving her in safe hands, as they document every detail I report. I get full feed back reports and daily updates via a great communication system.
Not only have I seen a change in my daughter already becoming more mobile, she is also now showing an interest in other children and gaining confidence in being more independent. She has only been with the nursery a month, however the relationship she has with some staff members already shines through.

After much looking around the area at nurseries I preferred this one, not only were the staff friendlier than others I viewed they also kept you up to date with what your child had been doing via an observation. My daughter has now been attending this nursery for 4 months and every day looks forward
to going and telling me to hurry up!

Absolutely fantastic nursery! I changed my sons nursery due to not liking the old one and I could see a difference in him within the first day! Very flexible with hours which is perfect for my job and university. My son loves attending Tops Wimborne, he talks about the staff and other children when
he comes home and even asks to go at the weekend! They have plenty of activities for the children and an amazing garden. I also pay for meals which are very good value for money as well as not being limited (sometimes my son has 2 or 3 portions). Very happy and would definitely recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.426)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.426) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Wimborne Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.916 for Tops Day Nurseries: Wimborne Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.916
  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 4.51 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Wimborne Nursery is based on 10 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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.51
  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.
