Tops Musgrove has a warm, welcoming and friendly team, who cater for children from three-months-old until they are ready to start school.
This nursery is part of a group that provides the most eco-sustainable childcare and education in the UK, being respectful of the environment and acting to reduce, re-use and recycle resources is an important part of the culture and routine for the children and staff. The nursery offers flexible childcare, recognising that parents' time is valuable and every 15 minutes counts. This means that parents only pay for the care they need.
During each child's time at Tops Musgrove, families are more than welcome to call as often as they like to talk to a member of staff about their child and their day at nursery. During a child’s day at nursery, staff will record important information to share with families, such as sleep times, nappy changes and information about milk and food intake. This information is added to a daily report which is submitted onto EYLOG.
Tops Day Nurseries has introduced a no-added sugar menu to all nurseries, ensuring children start their time at nursery with a nutritional, healthy diet. Book a tour now!

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My son has been at Tops for over a year now and I can't thank them enough. He found the transition to nursery very difficult but the staff, particularly his key worker were so loving, thoughtful and caring that he has become so confident and he loves it now. The staff in investigators are also brilliant, and have been so helpful. They helped with potty training and are very aware of how our toddler works - very skillful! Our son loves his key worker very much and we love how flexible tops are. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.We're incredibly grateful for your kind words and so pleased to hear how well your son is now thriving at Tops. Transitions can sometimes feel overwhelming for children, so it's lovely to know that with the support, care and reassurance from his key worker and our Investigators colleagues, he has grown in confidence and now loves coming to nursery.
It's especially heartwarming to hear that he feels such a strong bond with his key worker, those relationships are so important in helping children feel safe and secure. We're also delighted that you found our team supportive with potty training and tuned in to how your toddler works; understanding each child as an individual is something we truly value.
Thank you for recognising our flexibility and for trusting us with your son's early years. We're so proud to be part of his journey.

The team are like an extended family. They are fantastic at supporting her learning with colours, numbers, letters and understanding different jobs and family. I've always been very impressed with the nurturing environment and can't recommend the nursery highly enough.

Overall, we have had a really good experience with Tops Nursery, my son loves it and always looks forward to going and the staff all seem very nice. The only things I would say are that it seems slightly disorganised ie - they send him home without his things or with another child’s belongings in his bag. A couple of times he’s come out of nursery without shoes on, or with dirt all over him or a full nappy. I’m assuming this is just bad timing for when he happened to be collected or just staff stretched for time, but overall a good experience in general. Could do with fewer emails and the parents' app is updated very rarely with few photos so would be nice to get more info and pictures.
My daughter started nursery even before turning one and she is a pandemic baby. I was really concerned about her settling in. But the girls in the nest have been so supportive and understanding, encouraging me to call however many times. My daughter has absolutely loved it and is developing and...
My daughter started nursery even before turning one and she is a pandemic baby. I was really concerned about her settling in. But the girls in the nest have been so supportive and understanding, encouraging me to call however many times. My daughter has absolutely loved it and is developing and achieving her milestones really fast. Thank you so much for the support. I have nothing but good things to say.
Thank you for your positive review. We really appreciate your feedback and are so pleased to hear you are happy with our Education and Care.

I have nothing negative to say. My child is safe and happy. He's well looked after and has made great connections with all the staff and children. I don't trust anyone with my child and sending him to nursery was really hard for me but he's thriving and the staff are always happy to hear any concerns and keep me well informed about what he's been up to and take lovely photos to show this. I feel really calm and know every time I take my son there he's going to have a lovely day. The nursery is clean, the staff are friendly, they work well together and security to get into the nursery is excellent so no way a child can accidentally get out or anyone can sneak in. Keep up the hard work Musgrove going above and beyond for all the children in your care.
Thank you for your positive review. We really appreciate your feedback and are so pleased to hear you are happy with our education and care.

The flexibility of hours and week-by-week bookings have been essential to us as shift workers. We have recommended it to a number of friends and colleagues. Thank you all!

I have used this nursery at different periods over the past three years, currently both my children use the nursery. Being a parent, I appreciate the apprehension in trusting anyone with your precious child, however, I always feel reassured when my children are at nursery as the staff are wonderful with the children. They have also been professional and approachable and provide an excellent standard of care in my view. A big thank you from me for the wonderful job you do, with the wonderful little terrors.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Sharon. We really appreciate your positive feedback and are so pleased to hear you are happy with our care.

I have been nothing but thrilled and impressed with the care my daughter receives at Tops. She goes in happy and excited to see the staff and is happy and excited when collected. The staff always appear happy, positive and enthusiastic with their roles. The handovers are thorough and comprehensive. Nothing is too much trouble if I ask for extra information, as she has a food sensitivity to cows milk and soya or giving antibiotics. We receive photos via the app of her playing so we can understand what she has been doing and the information received via the app, regarding schemes and schema, help us as her parents, to continue learning consistently. My daughter had been taught sign language to aid communication when starting, despite being a hearing child and staff requested information to know what signs she could do so they could better engage with her until she was speaking. I always have my hours accommodated when submitted before the deadline.
Thank you Rachel for your lovely review, we are so pleased to hear you are happy with the Early Education and Care we provide your little ones and the service we provide to you.

My 2-year-old son has been going to Tops day nursery in Taunton since the end of September 2021 and he has settled in really well. He only cried at drop off for the first few times and now he’s fine going in. He naps there most days and has built a good relationship with some of the staff and they all seem really friendly. They provide different activities and there is an outdoor area to play. Its also lovely to see pictures of my son at nursery on the app. Really pleased with this nursery so far!

My child has attended for over a year and we are pleased with this nursery. It is extremely convenient and flexible. Booking hours are straightforward and admin staff are prompt with replies and invoices. We have had a couple of issues that have been dealt with straight away and then no further repeat. My child is very happy attending the nursery. My only wish is that the outdoor space was larger.
Thank you very much for your review Bally, we really appreciate it!
My son currently goes to this nursery. My daughter went here for 3 years. Both of them love it there and I find all the staff friendly and approachable. My daughter still attends Hi 5's in the holidays and still really enjoys it, each time.
