Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am very pleased with the nursery. My daughter enjoys going and enjoys time out in the big garden and interacting with the other staff and children. I feel nursery has continued to develop my daughter's confidence and learning. It's great to see what she has been doing using the e-log. I would like
to know if there will be a parents evening to discuss her progress and what they will be doing with her over the next year?

My child became scared of attending the nursery and I expressed these concerns to the nursery who did not even bother to contact me to explore the reasons for this or seem to take this concern seriously. My daughter is only 2 years old and this was her first experience of 'school'.

My daughter has been attending Tops in Corfe Mullen for almost a year and I couldn't be happier with the care she receives. Every time she goes she gets to have a go at a wide range of activities which help with her development, from painting, messy play, singing and dancing to spending time outdoors.
She has built a great bond with all the staff and I can feel confident that she will have a great day and receive the best care and attention. I am also really impressed with the lunches and snacks provided, my daughter gets a balanced healthy meal and snacks.

Tops day nursery in a Corfe Mullen has been a blessing to me. After having a not great experience with another nursery, I was worried about putting my child into a new setting as she has autism, but the staff have been absolutely incredible with making her happy & comfortable, meeting her needs & working
with her. They work amazingly with the other team of people who come in to work with my daughter & she has come on leaps and bounds in the short time she has been going to the setting. Couldn’t be happier with the nursery & the incredible staff who work there. They have exceeded my expectations in learning how to work well with my daughter & she loves going & spending the mornings there. The garden is perfect for my daughter as she loves to play outside & on the slide, and they allow a lot of outside time which is great.

I cannot even explain how much I love what this nursery has done for my son!
Since starting childcare in the summer of 2017, we have had various issues with a few providers and it seemed to knock my son's confidence. It was becoming increasingly difficult to leave him.
From exactly day one of attending
Tops in Corfe Mullen, my son has really settled in, and his confidence, even just at home, really shows through.
Everyone (including the staff that don’t even work in my son's room) seems to be interested in my son, and they always make an effort to talk to me at drop off and collection.
It really is just a brilliant nursery, everything you would want when leaving your child in someone else’s care, and the staff are all so lovely.

My son started at Tops when he was 11 months old and he is now 3. I have never felt anything but positive about his experience. From the staff, the range of activities, meals and means of communication I rate it all as outstanding.

My son has been attending Tops since April 2016 and I have to say I can't fault the nursery.
All the staff are really helpful and supportive, they are always there with a welcoming smile and make your children feel relaxed and happy to go, stay and play.
There is an amazing manager who can't do enough
for you or your child, and one lady is a nursery nurse in a million.
My son has flourished while attending the nursery and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I always feel very comfortable to leave my son at nursery, he appears to have a great time there. The nursery has a wide selection of toys and activities as well as a great outside play area, so its great to know that your child isn't just sat inside a room all day. I would highly recommend the nursery
to anyone. The feedback you get via the app is great. It brightens my day when I get to read about the fun he had at nursery that day.

Choosing Tops Day Nursery - Corfe Mullen, was one of the best decisions I have made with reference to the care of my two children. There is no bigger responsibility than choosing the right nursery for the most precious things in your life, but Tops have been amazing from day one. Nursery is their first
place in their little lives of independence. Knowing they feel secure and happy there is worth every single penny, the hours the nursery offer fit in with most busy lifestyles and it's clear to see from all the staff their jobs aren't 'just' jobs but vocations. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Tops Day Nursery to anyone!!

Our children always love going to Tops Day Nursery during their school breaks and this is kudos to the staff and people who work at the nursery and make it so welcoming when our girls attend. I have always found the nursery very clean, with plenty of lovely staff and lots of things for our girls to
do when they are there. The other reason we book is because the list of 'in-house' and 'out-house' topics and excursions are amazing and so reasonable priced!!
We will be continuing to use Tops Day Nursery/Mini-Beasts for the long term foreseeable future and will continue to recommend the nursery to our family and friends.

I have recently enrolled my 12-month-old son at Tops Day Nursery - Corfe Mullen and I could not be more pleased with our experience. Each member of staff has been amazing and have allowed us to take our time to settle in gradually. No question has been too small and they always have time for you. The
staff have been tentative, nurturing and caring not just to my son but to me his mum during this transition of settling in. I feel very confident in them and am so pleased with our choice.

A very friendly nursery with consistent staff and a warm and fun atmosphere. The children partake in a number of activities and my son loves the forest school that they run. It is flexible with hours and nothing is ever too much trouble.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Tops Corfe Mullen is an incredibly friendly and happy nursery. My daughter has attended since she was 8 months old (she is now 4!) and loves the nursery. The key workers know their children really well and can identify things that they need to work on and work with them to ensure that they are confident
and capable.
The nursery itself is light and bright and all children are happy to be there. The large garden is a fantastic space for the children to play in and the kids love being out there. Tops also have activities such as Forest School, which I feel is really beneficial for the children. My daughter loves Forest School days and gets a kick out of being surrounded by nature.
Overall, I would recommend Tops Corfe Mullen to anyone. The nursery is big enough to matter, yet small enough to ensure that every child gets the attention that they require.

I also love the eylog communication, it really brightens my day when I get a notification through of something

Nursery are absolutely fabulous in supporting my child with additional needs. All staff go way above and beyond the call of duty in the daily care of my son. Wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend. The facilities are fantastic and the outside space is far better than many other nurseries in the area.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.824)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.824) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Corfe Mullen Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.583 for Tops Day Nurseries: Corfe Mullen Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (14 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.583
  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 3.241 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Corfe Mullen Nursery is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.116
  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.
