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 daughter has been attending since she was 7 months old and turns 3 years old this month. I have never had any issue with any aspect of the nursery and I feel it is an excellent setting for her to experience a wide variety of activities and people. All the staff that I have dealt with have been friendly, polite and reassuring. I couldn’t recommend it enough.
Lovely nursery. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. My son loves the pre school team. Plenty of room to run around outside and activities to keep them occupied. Holiday clubs are available too, as they get older.

My children love Tops Musgrove! My daughter attended from 2 years until she left to start school. The staff are excellent, so loving and nothing is ever too much. My daughter came out of her shell so much and loved every minute she spent with them. My son now attends and runs in the door with a smile on his face. The outdoor space is great and the children are able to do so much! The days and times are great as they accommodate to all needs and unlike most nurseries, where you can only choose a morning or afternoon time slot, here at Tops, you can choose many different times to work around yourself.

My daughter went here previously from age two to four. They were a great help with building relationships and potty training. My son has since been visiting November, he had trouble weaning due to allergies and eczema. A great continuity of care. Since starting, the team have been great at supporting dietary needs and caring for my sons skin. His weaning has improved hugely thanks to the team at Tops Day Nurseries: Musgrove Nursery.
In the last two and a half year since we have had our child in nursery, we didn't have any issues. We didn't get worried at all leaving our child in their care. Good communication and polite staff, I recommend and trust this nursery.

Thank you Tops Day Nurseries: Musgrove Nursery.
Tops at Musgrove are looking after my two children. They absolutely love going there and have learned a lot since joining last summer. I am very grateful for their efforts and would highly recommend this nursery.

Excellent nursery. All the staff care deeply about their role and responsibilities. My child is learning at an excellent rate and really enjoys seeing her friends every time she goes in. With environmental issues and sustainability also high on the agenda, this flexible nursery is perfect for us.

My daughter has attended preschool and we use High Fives for my son. I cannot thank them enough for the kindness and support they have shown us. All of the staff have been amazing with both of my children, despite them being very different personalities and have gone above and beyond to support us through difficult family circumstances. My husband has just got back from working abroad and all the way through they have accommodated childcare to enable me to carry on full-time work.

I cannot thank them enough for the friendly yet professional approach that they have taken, and they have all gone the extra mile when needed. Thank you very much.

Both of my children have attended here. Great flexible childcare. One of my children had additional medical needs which the nursery took on board and supported us with really well felt confident leaving my child there. Many familiar faces amongst the staff when my second child attended, which is always reassuring. Both my children loved the forest school and cooking school.
Highly recommended.
It’s great for me as it’s on-site for work and they're really flexible for shift workers and their opening hours work with Musgrove shifts
Both my boys have settled in really well and have come a long way in the short time they’ve been there.
Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere and staff, our son has enjoyed coming to Tops and is quite fond of the staff. I particularly like how 'big school' has been introduced to them and the enthusiasm the kids display towards starting school in September. I also love all the summer activities the children partake in, our son knew what happened on what day and always looked forward to coming in. A big thank you to all the staff at Tops Day Nursery- Musgrove, you are all amazing.

My daughter has been part of Tops Day Nursery group since she was 11 months. Now she’s 3 and she’s grown to be a very independent and sociable child. And this is all thanks to the great work of all the staff at Tops Day Nursery Musgrove. Always happy to help us with whatever issue we have. Last minute booking has been a lifesaver for us. They’re always creating different activities that contribute with the child learning and development. Highly recommend.
Very good learning facility for kids. My son who is now 18 months started going there when he was a year old and enjoys it every time. He has learnt quite a number of skills there as well.

Tops is an excellent nursery, the staff are great, really caring, and very flexible. My shift working hours have been accommodated and I have even been able to come into the nursery after a night shift and breastfeed my baby in a calm, quiet place, which I think is really going the extra mile. I would recommend to anyone looking for flexible childcare with peace of mind that your child will be well looked after - with extras like forest school and cooking school available too.
