My son started at Tops Day Nurseries: Portsmouth Nursery at 10 months old. The staff are all so caring and he loves going every day. He's learned so much and eats so well. I know he's in good hands and feel so informed by staff on what's happening when he's there. They take the time to talk to you and

share pictures. I couldn't imagine him going anywhere else!

Overall Experience

Tops Day Nurseries: Portsmouth Nursery has a great regular team, most of the staff have been there since my first attended 4 years ago. One of my children is in preschool 3 and they are just great, when your little girl refers to her care provider as her 'bestie' this just shows the relationships and

bonds they create. One member of staff is great with the arts and crafts and producing great activities with forest school, and what I appreciate the most is that he uploads observations all the time, providing me with some insight as to what she gets up to each day. Their handovers are always fantastic I especially like handovers he is always very enthusiastic and you can tell he loves his job. All staff are friendly and provide a warm welcome to my daughter at every drop-off. I can't thank them enough and highly recommend Tops Portsmouth to any one who asks.
The addition of cooking school is a lovely touch, that my daughter looks forward to every week.

Reply from Funke Olotu, Marketing at Tops Day Nurseries: Portsmouth Nursery

We're so happy that you would recommend us, and if there's anything more we can do to support you, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your wonderful review!

Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to nursery. She has formed a wonderful relationship with the team as have we as the parents. We feel well informed when we pick her up. I love the updates/photos we get. I always look forward to the photos and seeing what she has been up to.
The team offer lovely learning opportunities

for the children and I feel my daughter has learnt a lot with them in the short time she been attending (4 months at the time of writing). Seeing her progression with the assessments and reports helps me know what milestones to support my daughter with.
My daughter is a real foodie and the meal choices seem to be appreciated by her. The nursery opens at 7am supporting working parents.
The office staff are also very helpful and friendly. They helped me with my paper work to get the working parent funds. They are patient and made me feel comfortable to ask questions.
Thank you for all the hard work you put in to make my daughters experience at nursery a positive one.

Overall Experience

I have had my little boy with Tops at Winchester for over two years now where he will stay until he starts school next year. Due to my overall experience, I have no nervousness or anxiety about my little girl starting there soon. I honestly cannot fault any of the wonderful staff there. They are so

personable, friendly and helpful. My little boy has made so many close relationships with all of his key workers in each setting and has developed his knowledge and skills beyond my expectations. He comes home from pre-school with a full tummy and lots to say about his day. Staff go above and beyond to help with anything and nothing is too much. Handovers are always really informative with feedback on what he has been up to for the day. We have had lots of help with listening skills and other personal developmental steps too. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone! Thank you all.

Reply from Funke Olotu, Marketing at Tops Day Nurseries: Winchester Nursery

We're also thrilled that you feel confident about your little girl starting with us soon, it's the greatest compliment to know that we've earned your trust. Hearing how much your little boy enjoys his days, comes home with a full tummy, and shares stories about his experiences truly warms our hearts.vThank you for highlighting the dedication of our team and for recommending us to others.

Management and the team have been brilliant. Our daughter started nursery in September and is thoroughly enjoying it, and really beams at management and the team on arrival. I cannot recommend the team enough. Tops is professional, providing sufficient updates throughout the day and a helpful report

at the end of the day. We know our daughter is in safe hands, and the Forest School is great.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been with Lakeside since she was 6 months old. She is now 17 months and she absolutely loves nursery. She has excellent key workers. Even when my daughter cries when she arrives it takes the team a minute or two to settle her before I get fun photos of her throughout the day. The team

always notifies us if my child is not 100% and reassures me when I'm not 100% about leaving her. I can't thank the team enough for taking great care of my daughter. I would certainly recommend Tops to anyone in the area.

Reply from Funke Olotu, Marketing at Tops Day Nurseries: Lakeside Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind words and heartfelt review! It's wonderful to hear how much your daughter enjoys her time at Tops Lakeside and how well shes bonded with her key workers. We understand how important it is to feel reassured when leaving your child, and we're so pleased that our team has been able to provide that peace of mind for you. Your trust means the world to us, and we're grateful to be part of your daughter's early years. Thank you for recommending Tops, it's the highest compliment we could receive.

Overall Experience

I encountered many issues at this nursery, and I'm really glad I decided to transfer my daughter. Since making the switch, her behavior has improved significantly, and she's much happier and learning a lot. Unfortunately, this nursery felt barely like a babysitting environment more than anything else.
Also,

I was paying a fortune for nothing in return, now I am paying literally half the amount in her new nursery which is now very much attached to it's teachers.

Staff are always very caring and helpful at Tops Day Nursersies. Our son loves attending and is always excited to go to nursery. We are also very grateful with the variety of options for timings, and that the nursery is open early enough for me to get to work on time. Also love the variety of food option

- thank you.
The only thing I wish there was, was a form to fill in so that don't have a phone call for every minor bump to the head. I worry he has had a major accident when I get called at work and would be happy to just be told on collection - and maybe save valuable staff time too.

Lovely, helpful team who the children clearly love to see and feel very comfortable with. I frequently see what my child has been up to as there are lots of logs on the app which is great. My child eats a great deal more after eating their lunchtime meals also.
