My daughter has been at this nursery for almost a year. She settled really quickly and still loves going in every day and comes out smiling. The nursery has improved since Adam joined - it is nice to see a manager that makes such a huge effort to get to know the children and families. All the staff are lovely and are brilliant with my daughter and seem like they really care about her. There has never been as issue if I have had to change her hours at short notice and the daily diaries and regular observations are very reassuring and keep me up to date with all her activities. I have no concerns with my daughter attending this nursery and would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you so much for your review, Rachel! It's fantastic to hear how well your daughter has settled in and that she still comes in and leaves with a smile!

My daughter started here in July and has been doing amazing , at her previous nursery I took her out after 3 weeks, as she is very nervous and attached to me she didn't settle well at all. However at Tops, she has created some lovely bonds with staff here and that has given me a lot of comfort , as well as this she always has lots of fun throughout the day and is fed well with healthy snacks and lunch! I have noticed she has become more sociable with other children her age when we're at soft play and has become more confident in herself. I would recommend tops to anyone!

My Son has been attending Tops since he was 7 months old, with him soon to be in his last year before starting school! Tops have played such a vital part in my Son's early years, supporting with his speech, behaviour, potty training and overall just encouraging him to be the fun, outdoorsy, wild boy that he is. My Son loves attending Tops, with a Monday morning often being 'Yaay, Nursery today'. The staff are so, so wonderful, caring and kind whilst being super fun and engaging! I would highly recommend Tops Parkstone, this was the only Nursery we viewed and enrolled straight away!

Thank you for putting your trust in us over the last few years, we absolutely love having him as part of our Tops family!
My cousin started Tops Parkstone in June and he absolutely loves it there! Staff are so welcoming and he's settled so quickly. Food is amazing and healthy for the children and you can tell how much the staff want the children to blossom!
