Review from S L (Father of Child) published on 26 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My two children have both enjoyed their time at Tops Day Nursery. I still have one attending but she will be starting school this year. The staff are brilliant and it is lovely to hear about all the things my daughter has done throughout her day. It is lovely to hear about the friendships she has made and the new things she has learnt.

Overall Experience
Since starting my daughter at Tops Day Nursery, I’ve seen one very happy girl. Very attentive care, staff are amazing and ever so helpful and happy in their work and the person-centred care to the children is great too.

My daughter is often at the nursery and is very happy and is often very chatty on the way home. I can see the learning she’s achieving as she’s growing into a toddler. Thank you, Tops Day Nurseries.

Review from A W (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl has been coming since November and although it's one day per week and although it's been a bit tough for her to settle, she absolutely loves it now. She knows who her staff members are and she loves going in, I think she's more disappointed to come home. I love getting photos of her and her friends playing and taking part in different activities.
The staff have been amazing, they are so good with her, they always inform me of her day, how much she has eaten and slept, what they got up to. She always eats all her food so it must be yummy. They get to play outside which is great because she loves exploring and climbing and getting messy and running around.

We love her going here, I'd be heartbroken if we ever had to take her out, it's her little time away from me and her dad and it's done her the world of good.

Overall Experience

I have had two children attend Tops Day Nurseries: Bournemouth Nursery since they were toddlers and they have both enjoyed their experience during their time, from Explorers up to preschool. Our daughter still currently attends but will be starting school this year. We love seeing and hearing about all the exciting things she has done and learnt each day she attends and the friendships that have been made. Our baby will soon be joining the nursery and will be starting in the nest. We feel confident knowing that she will be looked after by a fantastic team, when she joins.

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery at Tops Day Nurseries: Bournemouth Nursery and she adores all of the staff. The progress she has made with all aspects of her development while enrolled at Tops is staggering. There are so many activities and events for her to take part in and the daily play is always fun and varied. Cooking school has been wonderful for her kitchen skills and she now helps peel and chop vegetables at home.

Overall Experience

My little boy has just left Tops after 4 and a bit years to go to school. The way he has moved seamlessly from nursery to school has been brilliant and I put this down to his time at Tops, always playing with new people and making him the confident social child that he is.

Overall Experience

I have had two children at Tops and they have both loved it. The staff are great and both of the kids have made close bonds with them. Cooking school and forest school were great additions to their time there. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for both of my kids. However, the admin isn't great, it takes a long time to get responses to emails. I am also still waiting on my deposits to be refunded a month after my children have left, despite chasing.

Review from J D (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Outstanding care provider. My child enjoys attending. She is encouraged to participate in tasks and is always learning. This relates whilst she is at home being more explorative and intrigued by things. She loves eating together which is encouraged by the nursery. The nursery have been exceptional with my requests, even down to how we have potty trained and take the lead from us, which is encouraging. Thank you all.

Great nursery to send your child to. My little girl has gone from being shy and crying to running in with a smile on her face. The support from staff is amazing and they are so caring. My little girl absolutely loves going to Tops Bournemouth and will highly recommend it to other parents.

Overall Experience

My son started in September 2021 and he has been flourishing ever since. The staff are like a family away from family to him. Everyone from admin, apprentice practitioners, key workers, and management truly gives their heart and soul to every child. They make learning and exploring fun, but keep every child safe too.

My daughter attended this nursery since she was 13 months and now she is 3 and a half years and still enjoying it! Great staff and good learning. There is the forest and the cooking schools where we tried the cooking and my daughter loved it. Keep the good work up.

Review from Jadwiga M (Mother of Child) published on 3 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son loves to go to nursery thanks to the lovely staff. Everyone is so helpful and attentive. Children are well looked after, there are lots of additional activities they can take part in. The opportunity to have extra help for children with English as a second language is fantastic. There are regular photo/video records that give extra information about what your child was doing. All of the staff members are so understanding, professional, supportive and caring. They are so helpful especially when a child starts his journey at nursery. Also, they are organising very stimulating activities so even if a child comes back in his spare clothes I'm sure he had the best time. There is an option to book extra hours for a discounted price and 15min bookings intervals are so good rather than booking by the whole hours.

Overall Experience
All three of my grandchildren have attended Bournemouth Tops nursery. Two still attend and absolutely love it. They've grown in confidence since being there.
I love the way they think of our planet by only using wood items and no plastics.

Would recommend it to others 100%.

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery. My son has developed incredibly through the hard work and dedication of the staff at Tops Day Nurseries: Bournemouth Nursery. I work in a large public sector organisation and hear about other nurseries that don’t open early enough or don’t do certain activities. I consider myself very lucky my son goes to this nursery and highly recommend.

Our son goes to Tops Day Nurseries: Bournemouth Nursery. He absolutely loves his teachers and they are just amazing with him. I am very glad he has such a lovely, amazing team looking after him whilst I am working, I couldn’t ask for more caring people. The things he has learned since he started it really shows.

Overall Experience

So far I've been really pleased with this nursery. The staff are very friendly and the days seem to be full of fun activities. My daughter always comes home exhausted, she runs in every morning so clearly enjoys it. She smiles at the staff members and happily goes to them at drop off. The feedback from nursery is also really useful with pictures and descriptions about what she's been up to.

Overall Experience
My one-year-old son has been attending the nursery for just over a month and I have been extremely impressed with the caring nature of all the staff. He loves going to Tops and always seems happy when he's there.
I can tell that he is learning new skills and it's great he is having lots of interaction with other children.
I am so glad there is such a lovely nursery so near to the hospital where I work, I feel very lucky!

I can tell you all work so hard, carry on being amazing and thank you for looking after my little boy so well.

My little daughter started in Nest and initially, she was not comfortable going to nursery but the way staff handled her and made her comfortable, I really liked it and appreciate it. She is much more confident and more comfortable going to nursery now and she enjoys her time there.

Overall Experience

My two children attend Tops Day Nurseries: Bournemouth Nursery and are both very happy there. They have lunch and tea there and the menu is lovely, healthy and varied. I really like the fact Tops Day Nurseries: Bournemouth Nursery encourage parents and children to be environmentally aware. The staff are very knowledgeable, competent and I've never felt anything other than confidence in leaving my children in their kind hands. We also sign up to their forest school and cooking school and I love the fact the children do yoga and exercise at nursery.
