Tops Day Nurseries, Poole offers flexible childcare, with outdoor adventures, enriching activities, and a focus on independence, wellbeing, and healthy lifestyles.
Located on Denmark Lane near the old Barclays building, provides high-quality early education and childcare for children aged 3 months to school age. Set within a busy community and close to local beaches and countryside, the nursery offers a range of enriching indoor and outdoor experiences.
The nursery is a friendly, active setting where children are encouraged to follow their interests, develop independence, and share their ideas. In preschool, children take part in a ‘children’s council’, helping to shape activities and their environment. The experienced team supports development in line with the EYFS framework.
The nursery offers a range of activities including Forest School, cooking, yoga, and more. The Mini Beasts Holiday Club provides care for children aged 5–7, alongside the Hi5’s programme for ages 5–11. Funded places are also available, including 15 hours of free childcare.
As part of an eco-sustainable group, the nursery promotes respect for the environment through reducing, reusing, and recycling. Healthy, no-added sugar meals are provided, alongside strong daily communication with families.

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

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

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.

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 daughter attended Tops Day Nurseries from being a year old and now she is at school and attended hi 5’s in the holidays. The care is great from the staff in the room and my daughter loves going. Bookings are really flexible adding shifts last minute. I would recommend Tops Day Nurseries.

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.
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...
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 daughter always enjoys attending the nursery and they plan out a lot of fun activities for the kids. Staff have been very friendly and helpful and care for the children very well.

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...
Bring on the next year!!

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.

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.
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...
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.
