Review from Sonia M (Mother of Child) published on 2 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending the nursery for two months now and I am so pleased with how well she has settled in and progressed in such a short time. She has a strong attachment to me and struggled to leave me at first. The staff in Explorers have been fantastic with my daughter. She loves going to nursery and has formed good relationships with the staff.

I would highly recommend Tops Day Nursery Musgrove.

Overall Experience
My niece really enjoys her time at Tops Musgrove and has grown so much confidence since starting. Her key worker is very supportive of her needs and my niece has a great connection with her as well as other members of staff in the room.

The office staff are always so accommodating to any booking amendments and always make an effort to say hello to my niece when she arrives at nursery. The activities in the room are very stimulating and changed regularly.

Review from Polly P (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have found the staff at Tops extremely warm and supportive. Our little boy has been in Investigators for the last two months (having previously been in The Nest and then Explorers) for one or two days a week. He has settled so well in there and often comes out skipping! His key worker has been lovely and really seems to have made a bond with him which is reassuring. She also seems to really take on things I’ve told her about what he’s done at home - for example when I mentioned he’d enjoyed going out on his bike and she made an effort to show him the nursery trike, or when I mentioned about him showing an interest in potty training and that day I received a lovely photo and report of him putting a baby doll on a potty and then doing a wee on it!

I love getting his reports on the app with his updates - I find it so reassuring during a busy day at work and it allays a lot of guilt about leaving him! Thank you.

Overall Experience

The staff at Tops Musgrove have been fantastic with my little one who has really struggled to transition from nursery to pre-school. They are very understanding and work really hard to ensure that appropriate strategies are used with my son when he struggles with us leaving at drop off time. The experiences and facilities are excellent and my son this year has experienced beach, forest and cooking schools and developed so many skills from these sessions which he has enjoyed very much. The flexibility of sessions and bookings are also excellent and I cannot recommend this setting enough.

Review from Sherry H (Mother of Child) published on 26 July 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Tops has looked after my son since he was ten months old and he loves it there. The staff are friendly and caring and form real bonds with the children. They are really focused on the kids' development, as well as their emotional support.
There is an electronic feedback app, that means you can keep up with your child's development and looking at the pictures and little videos is really lovely. They have loads of extra classes (forest school. cookery school, gardening club, football club) which my son has really loved.
They are also extremely flexible and will try to help out at the last minute if they can at all. They have a flexible approach to booking, which means that we can book the sessions we need and not just on fixed days, which really suits us as shift workers.

I recommend them to everyone I meet.

Review from Samantha M (Mother of Child) published on 26 July 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started at Tops Musgrove in November 2018. He was a very shy boy and I had worried about him starting school the following September due too him being only just 4 when he would be starting.
The staff at Tops have completely turned my little shy boy around and he has so much confidence and has come in leaps and bounds in the short time he has been there. I no longer have the worries about starting school and actually feel that he will be completely ready when the day comes and all of the credit has to go to the excellent staff, especially his key worker.
It was also fantastic to be able to see his progress with the eylog and it brightened my day to see the little videos and pictures just showing how he was getting on.

Thank you so much to all of the staff at Tops Musgrove.

Tops Nursery create a great atmosphere for the kids to have fun as well as learn. They also look out for the wellbeing of kids, creating a safe environment for them.

Review from Anna C (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have two boys aged 3 and 1 and they both love it at Tops Musgrove. The nursery staff are friendly, loving, professional and they really care about all the children that they look after. They get to know each child's interests and they personalise their learning so the children feel listened to and comfortable when they are away from home. I know when I leave my boys at Tops they are in a safe place with people who I trust and when I pick them up they are always happy. My eldest Son likes to tell me about his day with a smile on his face both boys always have fun at nursery! I can’t really fault tops, the hours are flexible, the rooms are clean and tidy, there are always different activities planned and the teachers are encouraging and supportive. Both my children are growing in confidence and learning new things every day. Thank you Tops and all the wonderful staff and teachers you do an amazing job and I would highly recommend our nursery to everyone.

Overall Experience
Tops Musgrove is a fantastic nursery! The environment and variety of learning through play activities are excellent and they are extremely flexible regarding bookings and hours, which is great for shift working. The staff are so kind and caring and consistently go above and beyond to develop the special qualities of each child and meet the needs of our family.

My daughter loves her days at Tops and has developed special bonds with all her key-workers. I know when she is there she feels safe and cared for, I honestly can’t recommend Tops Musgrove enough!

Review from Claire U (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Tops at Musgrove have been excellent for my daughter, making her truly thrive.
All the extra activities that they offer, such as forest/beach school, are brilliant as she loves getting out and about. But she equally loves playing in the garden and in the room with the other children. She runs up to us with a huge smile on her face at the end of every day.
We have found all of the staff really friendly and helpful, never failing to answer any questions and looking after my daughter brilliantly.
The hours/days are very flexible for shift workers and people who work non-standard hours, providing care at times no other nursery can offer.

We have no hesitation in sending our other daughter when I go back to work soon. Would really recommend.

Overall Experience

Cannot fault this nursery, always there to support my little boy with any issues he has, he has a speech delay and they have arranged him some speech and language therapy, and if he goes into his room upset, there is always someone to give him a cuddle and make sure he's okay. Good range of activities and good outside space for my son to play in, and even some friendly rabbits! Brought my son out of his shell massively, couldn't be happier!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Tops Musgrove since she was 9 months old and has loved every second of it (she is nearly three now). All the staff are really friendly and genuinely care about the well-being of the children. In her current room, she benefits from a wide range of stimulating activities and has developed strong relationships with the other children and caregivers! The nursery staff were even able to kick-start the potty training process for me and are always on hand for reassurance. I’m so proud of what a confident little girl she is when she is enjoying her nursery time.

Review from Chase B (Father of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter goes nursery here and has become a massive fan of entering the doors without crying which took time and perseverance, though she is at her most comfortable when she enters nursery. She has come a long way with her motor-skills, speech and level of understanding through being around the other children in her class and the nursery staff that she has there to help guide her each time she attends.

I highly recommend this nursery to anyone that is wishing to send their children to nursery, value for money and rewarding knowing your child is in great care and more importantly having non stop smiles on their faces from start to finish.

Overall Experience
A lovely nursery, many of the staff have taken a personal interest in my little boy despite not working closely with him. Tops have really aided my little boy’s development through fun activities. My boy really enjoys the forest school and cooking club and gets a great sense of achievement for creating a dish each week. The cooking staff do a wonderful job at creating a rotating healthy menu and offer 'leave out' recipes for parents to try at home.

Each day the staff set up new activities for the children creating a great environment to learn and play. Can’t fault the care and wouldn’t send him anywhere else.
