Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Tops Yeovil have been nothing but fantastic to my son! It has so been so great to see him evolve over the last year and a bit since starting at Topps Yeovil.
The workers are kind and caring, providing daily updates and are very welcoming upon drop off and pick up!
Even when Seth is away from the nursery
he cannot help himself saying the key worker names as well as the many little friends he has made there! Even at home with his Father when we go out he thinks that he's going to nursery!
He truly is very fond of going to Topps as well as the fantastic people he gets to be with and play, I'm very happy that of all the nurseries we viewed that we ultimately choose Topps, one of the best decisions my Wife and I made as parents for sure!
Thank you Topps!

My son's first nursery experience has been wonderful. The staff helped him settle in so well, they are caring, professional, and truly dedicated. The management is excellent, always responsive and well organized. I'm very happy with how happy my son has become while being there.
The only small suggestion
I have is that it would be great if meals were not obligatory, so parents could choose to bring their child's own food or diet if needed.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased and would highly recommend this nursery to other parents

Staff are really very caring and I felt that my child was taken cared of. My daughter always got a big smile when she sees her photos of her activities during the day.
I also appreciate that the daily report appears honest . It was always been a worry for me that my daughter might have a very hard
tike settling down but due to staff's expertise and caring nature, she has settled down sooner than I expected. Thank you.

My experience with Tops Day Nursery has always been positive. My son loves his time there and always leaves with a big smile on his face. The staff are great, very friendly, professional and give you lots of feedback about their day. They seem to have lots of engaging activities for the kids and my

Tops Day Nursery is a very safe and amazing place to take your child. My experience is very good and everybody who works there is professionally trained. My son has learnt a lot and he is very happy. I see his smile every morning when I drop him off by the door. This is what every parent wants for their

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Overall our child's experience of the nursery has been very positive. When he first started going, we had very few tears and the staff engaged with both him and us immediately. Now he is nearing the end of his time there. He always asks to go and come home happy and tired, also well-fed! The food has
been excellent and the variety of food is very good.
There have been a few issues, mainly around shift booking availability, but these have been dealt with very well. Lastly, the staff have kept us informed of any issues, supported him at every step and celebrated his achievements with genuine enthusiasm.

Absolutely brilliant. The staff know our daughter really well and she's learning loads. She's always excited to go to nursery. Additionally, the food and menus look excellent. My toddler always comes home full up and happy. There is a picture, name and password system for collection so we are secure
in the knowledge that the nursery is safe.

My son is quite delayed in his speech when he came to Tops day nursery, but as time went by, he developed to engage in communication. We also found how he started to become disciplined towards other kids. His admission in the school is a big help in his early years and that I am hoping will continue
until he is school ready.

Started my little boy at nursery very recently and it is going wonderful. The baby room staff are truly amazing, so caring and warm!
Baby boy is really enjoying himself and this big change on his life couldn’t have happened any more swiftly.
Very happy with the team, the room leader is really nice
and caring and so is my baby’s key worker. I haven’t had much contact with the other girls but I’m sure they are just as lovely too!
Thank you for your care with my little one!
I’d totally recommend the nursery, very professional, organised, everyone knows what they’re doing, very glad to have chosen Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery after visiting so many places!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm not sure where I should start but overall, our little one is always having a good time, he has developed so much since he joined almost a year ago!
The staff and the management are doing the best possible and looking after all the children equally.
They always have new things to do, outdoor activities,
variety of healthy food.
The carers are so keen to track the children's progress in all aspects and they remember everything. They do their job with love.
I like the team spirit between the three divisions in the nursery, they integrate and help each other which reflects on all the children in different ages.
For example, my little one is known by the children in the other division with his name and he is always looking forward to seeing the other children from the other divisions when there is a chance which affects his personality positively.

Overall my daughter was happy at this nursery. Unfortunately, the nursery has gone down over the last few months. There is a very high turnover of staff and a distinct lack of communication with parents which unfortunately lead to safeguarding concerns. The setting is good. My daughter developed some
great relationships with some staff and children.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.876 for Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.876
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
