Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband and I are first time parents and so we were very anxious about our 1-year-old baby boy going to nursery. The staff at Tops couldn't have put our minds at rest anymore. From the eyLog updates to chatting to them when we pick him up, we are constantly reassured. When he first started going
he would cry and be upset, he now loves going and you can see what a bond he's built with the girls there. I love that he goes in the garden, sings songs (he can't stop humming the wheels on the bus), interacting with other children was very important and this is exactly what he is doing. I would highly recommend Tops in Lymington to every parent, they've made us feel very relaxed and our boy loves it there.

The staff are very kind, caring and attentive to all the children and you can tell they love their job. My daughter is 18 months old and has come on leaps and bounds since going to this nursery. It has lots of things for her to do and its good that the staff tell us what's she has been doing how she
is getting on etc. A big thumbs up from me

My 15 month old boy has been at All Saints for nearly four months. It was a difficult transition but the staff were very supportive offering advice and reassurance when my son became upset as I left him. Shortly after leaving I would very often receive an updated eylog photo to show that he was settled
and playing happily. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful, reassuring and patient especially as a first time mum.


Nothing is too much trouble and I feel very reassured knowing they are caring for him. Although not the cheapest nursery around, I consider I am paying for the reassurance and peace of mind knowing I am leaving him with kind, calm and professional people who seem to have a genuine love of their job. We are very happy with our choice of nursery.

Since moving to Tops, we have been really impressed with everything from staff professionalism to a beautiful learning environment. However most importantly we are confident our child is being well cared for. She is always happy there.

My son has been at Tops for a few months now and I am so happy with the nursery. All of the members of staff are kind, patient and pleasant to both children and parents, often taking time to discuss the day and progress in addition to the online updates. He has gone from not wanting to go to nursery
to not wanting to leave, largely down to the efforts made by his key workers to help him settle. The easy access to good outdoor space is a real bonus. I appreciate the time everyone takes to find out what makes each child happy or unsettled and give them the best experience possible. The flexibility in hours is great for emergency cover, too.

My granddaughter has been attending this nursery for three months and absolutely loves going - she has settled in well, loves the staff and started to blossom. She enjoys the reading, games and toys and outdoor play. They have encouraged her independence and is so willing to have a go. She puts on her
jacket, shoes etc. encouraging her to mix and play nicely with other children - Wonderful nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3-year-old son started Tops Day Nursery in October, I was a little worried at first as he never really settled at his last preschool. He settled in very easily at Tops as the staff are very caring and provide so many interesting and exciting activities for the children to do whilst there. They have
given him so much support with his speech and he has grown in confidence since starting there. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for childcare.

My 2-year-old son started a few weeks ago, we were nervous about how he would find being away from us but the staff have done a brilliant job with him. He now can't wait to go to nursery! It is a great set up, we are glad we chose Tops!

We are over the moon with how our son has settled into Tops! We attended the weekly stay and play sessions which allowed both my son and I an opportunity to become familiar with the nursery and get to know the staff before he started there. I think this helped greatly and we have been so pleased with
how he has settled there. All the staff have been so supportive and the children are really lovely. We are also really impressed with the engaging resources they have and the imaginative learning opportunities the staff come up with for the children! We will definitely be recommending Tops to our friends and family.

My daughter started couple weeks ago now and has settled in very quickly. She has improved on so many levels from being there. I couldn't ask for a more professional, friendly and safe nursey for my daughter, she's always full of conversation when I pick her up which is lovely to see. The staff there
are very helpful and polite. I definitely will be recommending to all my friends and family.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.225)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.225) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Lymington 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 10 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 4.975 for Tops Day Nurseries: Lymington Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.975
  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 4.25 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Lymington Nursery is based on 10 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.75
    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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.5
  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.
