  • Tops Day Nurseries: Pokesdown Nursery, Bournemouth
Tops Day Nursery - Pokesdown, Bournemouth, offers a professional early years' childcare service and education to children of pre-school age, from as young as three months, as well as running a 'hi 5's club' for youngsters from the age of five to 11 years.

There are no worksheets or workbooks – children are inspired to explore, investigate, design and work things out for themselves. The aim is to inspire children to be adventurous, curious and excited to learn!

Early years' is the time to allow children to have the opportunity to be creative, investigate their environment and build foundations for continued future learning.

A pleasant learning environment is tailored to the personal interests of different age ranges, with a friendly team of carers respectful of culture and background. The nursery has an excellent outdoor play area which is accessible in all weathers and linked to the interior playrooms.

This award-winning nursery is part of a group that provides the most eco-sustainable childcare and education in the UK, being respectful of the environment and acting to reduce, re-use and recycle resources is an important part of the culture and routine for the children and staff.

Top Day Nursery Pokesdown offers very flexible hours. Sessions can be booked to the nearest 15 minutes so parents only book and pay for the hours they require.

Families of children at the nursery are more than welcome to call as often as they like to talk to a member of staff about their child and their day at nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started to attend at 9 months old although hard for me the staff were friendly and reassuring! My son is now 2 years old and with the help and knowledge of the staff is growing into a confident happy little boy!
I can't fault the care or friendliness the staff are professional and helpful I
wouldn't want my son to go anywhere else.
Well done Tops Boscombe keep up the high standards and amazing work you do!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.245)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.245) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Pokesdown 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 4.4 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 4.875 for Tops Day Nurseries: Pokesdown Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.875
  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 4.37 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Pokesdown 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 135 number of registered child places is 27. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 27 = 0.37
  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.
