Review from R K (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves attending nursery. She has been welcomed in by all of the staff and she now has a fantastic bond with all of them. They have been so supportive of me as well and been a listening ear when needed. They have provided support and reassurance through my little girls start on a SEN pathway. The nursery is well maintained inside and out, and is a fantastic place for them to learn about recycling and reusables. I couldn't ask for better for us.

Overall Experience

They have accepted my child with additional needs with open arms, learning his diagnoses and haloing us to navigate through his early years. All the staff are lovely and well informed. They have gone above and beyond for us all in emergencies and through the EHCP processes, along with funding options also. Our child is and has always been included as much as possible with the different activities throughout the day and he just has the most amazing and fun days.

I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Tops Lymington. Our little boy has the best time there. The team couldn't be more helpful or caring. The environment both inside and ouside promotes learning through play and it's great that the age groups have a chance to mix when in the garden. There are also lots of lovely activities, reading and songs. Our baby girl will be starting in Spring.

Overall Experience

We have had a wonderful experience with this nursery. The staff are incredibly caring, kind, and always very informative. They offer a wide range of activities that really support learning and development, and it's clear how much thought goes into each day. Both of our children have attended since 2023 and 2025, and they have been happy, settled, and thriving. We feel very confident leaving our children in such a nurturing and supportive environment and would highly recommend this nursery to other families.

Overall Experience

Both our children have been through Tops Lymington from babies to preschool and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. They've both really enjoyed their time there and have made lovely friends. The staff are all friendly and engaged and everything is well managed with good communication. As a busy working parent I find they understand my needs and always try to be accommodating with all the logistics, which I have found invaluable.

Lymington is such a warm, friendly and caring setting. It really feels like our daughter is part of a community which is a wonderful feeling! All staff members really feel like family and our daughter has absolutely thrived within this setting and loves being there. Every day there are new and exciting activities for her to gain new learning experiences. We will all be sad when it's her time to go to school!

Review from N A (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Tops for a few months now, and from our very first contact, the team has been incredibly professional and supportive. Since he started, we've noticed such positive changes in him-he's flourishing and quickly picking up skills and knowledge that he previously lacked. He always seems so happy while he's there and frequently asks to go back!

The entire team is very welcoming, not just to the children but to our whole family. They take the time to listen to us as parents and are always available for a chat and updates during pick-up time. During a challenging period in my life, they showed such understanding and compassion, which I truly appreciated.

I feel very at ease knowing that my child is in their care. The staff are attentive, caring, and patient with the children, and it gives me great comfort to leave him with such a wonderful team!

Overall Experience

I wouldn't be without the extension that Tops Lymington has provided to our family. Our 3 boys have loved it here from day one, across all the rooms and we couldn't have asked for better they are free to play and are encouraged to learn and become independent to be ready for school. The support it offers not only them but us as parents is so greatly appreciated. The flexibility with hours and quick pick-ups and drop-offs made it so easy as you can drive to the door. I wouldn't go anywhere else! The staff and the setting make this a second home for my children. Only wish they did a holiday club for the older ones.

Overall Experience

We are delighted with our experience at Tops Lymington this past year. Our child loves each day she spends with the wonderful staff who are always thorough with their daily updates at handover. We use their flexible policy for shift workers which genuinely is the only way we can both continue in careers we love while having a child. Nothing is too much trouble for the team, and they’ll always try to help when life throws unforeseen challenges to family life. A fantastic childcare setting which we’d highly recommend to all.

Review from Geoff N (Father of Child) published on 16 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

An excellent nursery that we have used for 18 months with caring staff and impressive facilities. Our children really enjoy their nursery days, especially time in the safe and varied outdoor area. They are clearly well cared for and each has a personalised learning plan and their progress is fed back to us. Lots of daily activities and interaction with the staff throughout the day. The ever-smiling manager leads an enthusiastic team - everyone is personable and welcoming. There have been very few changes to the team in our time so continuity has been very good. Flexibility of session booking is vital for us as shift workers which is a key advantage over other childcare providers. Booking is easily done via an app which also provides session feedback/learning objective information/messages etc. We would not hesitate to recommend the team at Lymington Tops and are very grateful for the key role they have in caring for our children.

Our son has been at Tops for a year and we are so happy. He has progressed really quickly with so much from walking and talking to singing songs and having a huge passion for tractors.
