Review from Becki L (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at the nursery in January and since going has developed so much confidence and interest in various things. She is much less wary of meeting new people now and absolutely loves interacting with the other children.

The staff in the nest/explorers have been nothing but supportive and I have absolutely no doubt my daughter is receiving the best care.

Review from Stevie T (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I had to go back to work full time when my son was ten months old and with him being my first, him being EBF and not taking a bottle, I was so worried about how he (and I) would cope. I shouldn’t have worried at all. The staff are absolutely fantastic, they’re flexible and they CARE. My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery and he has come on leaps and bounds with his development since going here. As a shift worker, Tops were great in helping out with a flexible nursery pattern. I would highly recommend them. The babies wear cloth nappies (if that’s your thing), care about the environment, spend a lot of time outside with the kids, contact nap if needs be - love them.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Tops in Poole for nearly a year. She is very settled and I know she enjoys herself whilst she is there. Every day I can see on the app the activities she gets up to each day.

All the staff are welcoming, friendly and great with my daughter. I'm really happy that I managed to get a place and I'm hoping my daughter will stay there until school.

All staff are friendly and know my child well. There are always planned activities happening and we are updated on the little ones progress regularly.

The ability to book nursery slots flexibly around our shifts is invaluable and so convenient.

Overall Experience

My child has been attending for a few months now and he really loves it. The staff in his room have always been very welcoming and they always let me know what he has been doing during the day. He has lots of toys and things to choose from and seems happy to see his friends when I bring him in.

The staff are excellent at Tops Day Nurseries: Poole Nursery, my daughter has been attending for just over a year now and has moved into the bigger room and they’ve really helped her progress into that classroom! She enjoys every day at nursery and talks about the staff and her friends there.

I really can't fault Tops, the setting is lovely - a real eco earthy feel to the place. The staff are amazing always going above and beyond to meet my disabled daughter's needs. She is thriving and that's down to everyone who makes that extra little fuss over her. Thank you.

Review from Sophie B (Aunt of Child) published on 21 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My nephew attends tops for 2 years before starting school. Tops really helped him to become ready for school and he really enjoyed the extra activities they provide, he particularly likes attending forest school and I like the fact he would always brush his teeth at nursery as that is something we always struggled with at home with him. I would recommend TopsDay Nursery to people.

My little girl has been attending Tops Day Nursery (Poole) for the last nine months...The change in her since starting is amazing...when she first started she was very shy and hated leaving my side, she now has so much confidence and happily runs in nursery like it’s a second home..the staff are lovely and I can see how comfortable my little girl is with them all.. they plan lots of fun activities for the children to do and I am sent pictures and observations every day that my little girl attends...I highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Shany L (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I started sending my sixteen-month-old baby to Tops Poole about a month ago. The lovely staff made sure she will have an easy adjustment.
But not just her. Every day I came to pick her up, I got all the details of what she was doing, eating, playing with - all with a kind and pleasant attitude from the staff.
So all the concerns I had, upon sending her to nursery for the first time, calmed down.

So far, I’m very pleased and definitely recommend this nursery.

My son loves going to nursery at Tops Poole. He is always happy to see everyone when he arrives and is always happily playing when I arrive to collect him.
He settled in so quickly.

His development has definitely been helped by his attendance here.

Overall Experience
Tops have helped my son a lot over the last year and especially in January when he started potty training, he’s also learnt a lot, for example; left from right, ABC's and counting. He’s also tried different foods with thanks to the menu for lunches - stuff I wouldn’t cook at home which is great.

Bring on the next year!!

Overall Experience
From the first day I signed in my daughter with the nursery she was very happy. The staff were and still are very friendly and always making the best environment for all the kids there.

Since joining my daughter has made a clear and big evolution in all areas, from speaking, playing, sharing, being independent and all of this with the support from the nursery and staff. Thank you once again.

Overall Experience

All 3 of my children have been to Tops Poole and I have never had any concerns. The flexibility of booking hours and extra hours making it perfect for our needs. The staff are caring and my kids are always happy to go and the daily diary reports give me insight into the wide range of activities they do. Previously my kids have attended the forest school programme through the nursery which was a big hit and to be recommended.

Review from Kelsie (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little boy thrives here! Everyone at Tops Poole has done an exceptional job at helping him develop and grow into the little guy he is today. He was so unsettled and difficult to manage when he first started there, but every one of them put in an incredible amount of effort to turn it around. He adores each and every one of them and loves attending now. No tears, no crying, no screaming... he pushes me away so that he can go and enjoy his day.
The nursery set up is so user-friendly, warm and bright. There are so many activities to keep him busy all day and love the updates on his progress on EYLog. He is exposed to such a variety of activities that are so fundamental to his development and enable him to be so creative. We love that the staff make an effort for him to get out of the building with walks to the quay and time in the garden.

We are so pleased with the decision we made to chose Tops Poole. Could not recommend them more!

My children have been going to the nursery since 2013. My eldest has gone on to school and loves to go back in the holidays. The staff are fab and are always happy to help. They really know both my children. There are many staff who have been there since my eldest started.
