Overall Experience
Great nursery, with team that cares and understands.
Carers are lovely and admin team supportive. Their hard work and flexibility allowed my kid to join the nursery and settle at his own pace.

App is a great way of communicating little ones progress and activities.

Overall Experience
I can't think of a single thing that I would change about Tops in Bournemouth. We've been going there for almost a year and I've been so impressed with the care given to my son. All the staff are welcoming and friendly and I always feel so at ease discussing anything with them.
There is a vast range of activities and facilities available (indoor and outdoor) so I'm never worried that he will be bored.
I especially love the events that parents can attend - it's so lovely to see his environment and what he loves doing. I'm also always very impressed with the food choices.

I chose this nursery for the convenience for work but we've stayed because I can't imagine getting any better care elsewhere.

Reply from Ella Crossen-White, Marketing Coordinator at Tops Day Nurseries: Bournemouth Nursery

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear you've felt so supported and at ease with the team, and that your son is enjoying the activities, facilities, events, and food choices at Tops Bournemouth.

Overall Experience
My son 2 years of age has recently started at Tosta Nursery Bournemouth he didn't initially get upset on leaving in the morning, but the staff have been impeccable with helping him settle. He is now going in without any tears and it's happy to see the staff and his key worker on his first day. The key worker actually phoned me shortly after I left before I had a chance to call to see how he was which I was very impressed with.

He does looks activities throughout the morning, which I'm always updated on through his app. Communication is great through the nursery lots of activities messy play waterplay etc when going into the nursery the cleanliness is outstanding. They provide a very good range of fruit and veg on snack times. I'm very happy leaving my son here and know that his well looked after and safe at all times couldn't be happier thank you.

Review from Marta A (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All staff are so friendly and caring and make all children feel welcome and involved. They have a vast range of activities, including extra curricular activities such as Forest School which is great for outdoor learning. They also do events for the children and parents, my son and I attended Breakfast Morning in the end of September. The staff have feedback to parents everyday.

They post photos/videos of the activities that my son is doing, which I love seeing it. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone. My son has grown and has learnt so much since he started nursery. My partner and I work in the hospital so we are immensely benefitted by the flexibility booking options, 6am to 8pm opening times and last minute bookings.

My daughter loves going to this nursery. She has only been going one day a week for four months, but she settled really quickly and always goes on and comes out smiling. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. I love the shift booking options, it's easy and so useful for a shift worker. It's great that food is provided and I know she's eating good, nutritional meals.

Me and my daughter have had a pleasant and great experience over the past 3 1/2 years.

Review from N P (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our two children went from the nest to preschool 2 over a total seven year period with a small overlap in 2021. We've been delighted with the fantastic career, education and flexibility that Tops have offered over this time. Of particular note are the messy play and on hot days, water play that they have really enjoyed. Their preschool time has prepared them for school really well and they have had a thorough grounding in letters and numbers which complements what we are practising at home. The bonfire night party and graduation ceremony are special memories with lots of staff effort to make them fantastic. Thank you! Forest school also brilliantly ambitious and adventurous!

Overall Experience

Both of our children have graduated with Tops in the last couple of years, having both been in their care since 9/10 months old. What a wonderful experience they have both had! The kind and attentive staff have supported them to thrive. Our children have enjoyed learning through play that has been targeted to their interests and have always been so excited to tell us about their day. Throughout the years they have loved trips out to the Oceanarium, Yoga, Boogie Mites and Forest School - so many opportunities to grow. Our children have both left confident, writing their names and ready and excited for reception. The biggest of thank yous Tops - we will miss you!
