I have had a wonderful experience with my son at the nursery. He was being helped develop naturally and he learned to talk more thanks to the help of the nursery assistants and all the staff. Very grateful!

I couldn't be happier with my childs experience at this nursery. He enjoyed every day and was always excited to come. He has come so far with his speech and confidence since starting here. I am sad to see him leave such a wonderful place, with great staff and an amazing keyworker but I am confident
he is really ready for school thanks to Tops Day Nursery.

Fantastic nursery. Staff are all kind, thoughtful and welcoming. Couldn't recommend a better bunch. My daughter will truly miss them, as they made her time here so great and comforting. Thank you Tops, Stonehouse.

Our experience is very highly recommended. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My son has had the best time in this nursery over the years. I would recommend it to all my family and friends as it is that good. You have to do it all over again with our second one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since starting with Tops Stonehouse my daughter's development has improved massively.
I have really noticed a difference in her speech which is amazing.
I love how flexible the nursery is.
I also love how many observations I receive on the log from her key worker.
Highly recommended.

Review from Josephine P (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been with the nursery since she was a baby. I cannot fault the staff who are super friendly and fantastic at their jobs.
She has developed her learning in all aspects since attending and has gained in confidence.
I like the curiosity approach that Tops offer, which gives her the chance
to play with resources she wouldn't have a home.
She always looks forward to coming to nursery and has made lots of friends.
Will always recommend to anyone looking for childcare age 0 - 5 years.

Review from Lucy F (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I'm really happy with the care at Tops Day Nursery - Stonehouse, all the staff are friendly and approachable. They make sure everything that my son loves to do is out ready and waiting to explore. I love receiving special pictures he has made with them. The fathers day card was loved by daddy. I'm pleased
he is now settling much quicker and the girls have put in so much effort to ensure he is happy every day. The baby room leader will be missed so much by my son. They are amazing at putting up pictures and videos for me to see at home!
Also special thanks for always helping me out with any EYlog technicals.

Friendly staff, very welcoming and have the time and day for you. Will go out of their way to find information out if they don't know themselves.
So helpful when my child has misplaced items, they will find a solution to every problem. Cant praise the nursery enough.

My son loves going to nursery. He has been going for 3 years, I also have grandchildren who attend the same nursery. The staff are always friendly and always willing to help in any way they can. If your child has any medical problems the staff are always on top of it. It's more like a big family, I
will miss them all when my son starts school in September.

My son loves going to nursery here, in fact when it's time to pick him up, he's having so much fun he does not want to come home! He has improved so so much since going here and honestly, couldn't be happier. I will be making sure that when my other child is old enough, will be going also!

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.138)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.138) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Stonehouse Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.972 for Tops Day Nurseries: Stonehouse Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.972
  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 4.166 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Stonehouse Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.566
  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.
