Tops Day Nurseries provides high-quality childcare in Yeovil, where a safe and happy nursery environment enables children aged three months to five years to develop socially, physically, intellectually, creatively and emotionally at their own pace.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Lovely nursery, really engaging with the children. I especially like that their play equipment is made from natural and recyclable products. I wish I had more frequent updates to the parents' app and a couple of the staff aren't very confident in talking to the adults. Overall, however, I would recommend
this nursery.

I am satisfied with Tops Nursery, Yeovil. They have helped to modify my son's learning and helped my son to participate in various activities conducted at the nursery. My son has definitely learned many new things like toilet training, trying new food and playing with other children.

Very good nursery and professional staff. My daughter loves going to it and learns something new all the time. She keeps asking when we will be able to go there, when she has days off the nursery.

My son started attending Tops Day nursery in April. He loves it so much and is always happy walking out, telling me about the fun things he has done. All staff are great at letting me know how he has been and updating the app with pictures, as well as the unfortunate accidents. Have great meals which
my son finishes and would never eat at home. Thank you for all your hard work, especially through the pandemic!

Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery is a lovely place for children to grow. My little girls loves going and enjoys spending time with her friends and teachers. She tells me about her day and talks about her teachers on a regular basis. She is very fond of the staff, they do an amazing job and truly put
one hundred percent into their role and children. Always willing to help with any problem I have. I have two children and I can honestly say this is the best nursery I have come across. It's a true gem tucked away in Yeovil! Please pass on my thanks to the staff.

My child is learning a lot of new things every single day we send him to the nursery. He now enjoys going to nursery and misses it too. What we love about the nursery is the flexible hours we can book a shift for our child and they open as early as 7am.

Has been really good for him as well as myself, just getting him around kids his own age learning from them as well as all the workers he is just growing into his own little person. He is still learning every time he goes here which is amazing and just seeing it for my own eyes when they post things
he's been doing on the app as well as what he's been eating. I'm glad I put him in when I did.

My child has so much fun at nursery. For us, learning needs to be fun and it's clear that she loves it. The feedback dairy from staff is brilliant and clear communication and working together on any issues my child may have. There is so much variety of activities for the children and I know that from
the moment I drop my child off she is safe, happy and going to have fun. Cannot praise the staff enough for making such a great environment. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
First of all my daughter loves the nursery and all the lovely girls. It was very hard to settle my girl in but they accomplished that with great success. Most importantly they have kept me informed so I did not worry as much. They are flexible with hours as long as they are booked a week in advance.
The app is super easy to use and you can see what your child has been up to, pay the bill, check the progress of your little one etc. Nursery manager is always super welcoming and she cares for the children like they were her own. Is never too much of a problem for the girls. The facilities for children are great especially the outdoor area. Before the pandemic, they were running cooking classes as well at extra cost and they were worth every penny. Food is reasonably priced as well and this is worry-free for the parent! I hope that I haven’t missed anything! I can strongly recommend this nursery to everyone!

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.
