My 9-month-old started a month ago and whilst I was anxious about leaving him I was never in any doubt about leaving him in the capable hands of the manager and her team. They have reassured me and he loves it! Always recommend Tops to my friends.

We chose this nursery because our daughter who’s now 10 years old was here. She loved being here and learnt a lot. Also, the location for us was convenient and flexible booking system. Despite staff member's changes since then, they are still very good at their job, dedicated, patient, caring, supportive and friendly. Our son is very happy here, learns a lot, makes friends, his speech develops, he’s a braver eater and tries healthier food. The nursery staff helped a lot with potty training which was a bit difficult for me. We enjoyed an event - lights in the garden, bonfire and marshmallows, it was a lovely occasion to meet all the staff, children and their parents.

My daughter started the nursery in September and has settled in really well thanks to the amazing staff. So far we have had a good experience with the nursery, I really couldn’t fault them! My daughter enjoys coming here, always comes out happy and comes home chatting about how much fun she has had. She has the best bond with all the staff especially her key worker. I feel happy my daughter is in good hands which was the main thing for me. She has learned so much and really developed since starting this nursery.

We have had a good experience in this nursery so far. My daughter enjoys coming here, she always comes out happy. We receive updates and photos via the app which seem to go through phases of being frequent and then not any for a while. It would be nice if these could be daily where possible, but I do understand the staff are busy. They seem to do good activities and recently more outings e.g. to the park or library. They have limited outdoor space but they make good use of what they have and go outside to play often. The menu is good, healthy and varied and I think she mostly eats it! The nursery responded to feedback and as a result, are now open for longer hours, which is really helpful as a working parent.
