My little boy started in October when he was eight months old - as a neurotic first time mum, I was worried about how he’d be away from me, but my anxiety was for nothing. I was quickly put at ease by the friendliness and professionalism of all staff. My little boy adores his key worker and loves going
‘to school’ he’s so happy and content. I’m grateful everyday for the amazing learning and loving environment all at Tops provide for him.

Both my kids have attended Tops in Lymington and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. It's a happy place where the kids are well cared for. The facilities are good and they get healthy food and there is lots of opportunity to get active and be outdoors.

Our 3-year-old twins have been attending Tops Day Nursery since they were 8 months old. Tops stands out against others as it is so clean and modern looking. The rooms are filled with many sensory toys and it is well staffed. Staff are loved by all of the kids I see there. Our two refer to their key
people as their best friends

My daughter has been attending Tops since she was 2years old, she started last spring. Staff have all been friendly and eager to help her learn and develop.
On occasions when she has been tearful they know how to support her. She was behind with her speech and has come on leaps and bounds since attending.
She
has made great friends with staff and other children. She is a very fussy eater and they take the time to find out how best to support her ok this way two.
Staff and management are very approachable, any issues a quickly addressed and my daughter is always eager to go to nursery every day.

I have put two children through this nursery, one who returns during school holidays for High 5's and one who is still in pre-school. I am 100% satisfied and cannot imagine them being anywhere else. The friendliness, care and communication both I and the children receive is second to none. The children
are always engaging in new activities and there are always different themes in keeping with today's modern world.

When I first entered the nursery the setting was very lovely, even the staff. I felt very welcomed and felt that the nursery was well looked after. There were lots of opportunities for the younger ones to explore, and the staff fully interacted with the babies and had their full interest at heart. I
would fully recommend this nursery to anyone who has a younger one.

We love Tops. From when we looked around, to meeting all the staff, including our key worker, we just think our boy is completely safe and well looked after. He learns loads and has great fun too. We absolutely love the eyLog app and the updates we get while we’re at work. They normally make one or
both of us well up a little.

My daughter has been attending Tops for the last 18 months. I cannot praise the staff there enough. They all provide excellent care for my daughter and have supported her learning and development throughout her time there. Their attention to detail with the resources they use and the activities they
provide is fantastic. Most importantly they provide an environment in which my daughter feels safe and cared for. She absolutely loves it there!

My little girl has been here since May 2019 when she was 17 months, starting in the babies room (0-2) and has recently moved up to the 2-3 room. I honestly cannot express enough just how lovely all the staff are who I have met in the nursery, not just ones in her room or who know her, but anyone you
meet on-site who works there. They’ve always gone above and beyond to make sure she’s happy, and after a really nervous start and thinking she was never going to let me leave without crying for me all day like she was to begin with, she has made some lovely attachments to the adults and now happily goes to them for a cuddle with open arms when we arrive. There is always someone to meet her when we get there, welcoming her and immediately making conversation with her and taking her for a cuddle and off to play. The communication has been amazing and I love getting her diary logs during the day while she’s there with pictures and videos.

Tops on the Isle of Wight is amazing! My daughter loves going and has come on amazing in her development! She’s been going since 9 months old and hadn’t been with anyone but me before then so I was so anxious but she really amazed me and she just smoothly fit in. The girls are all so lovely, welcoming
and a delight to have looking after my daughter! I walk away knowing she’s well looked after and enjoying herself. Thank you so much.

Both my sons have been lucky enough to go to Tops Isle of Wight. My son was fully prepared for school when he left in 2018 and my youngest son is currently in the beautiful and homely baby room!
I wouldn’t want to have my boys anywhere else, despite being slightly more expensive than other nurseries
around I feel all that the nursery offers make this worth the extra cost.
The staff are friendly and always make you feel welcome, no matter the time of day! There are always beautiful and new activities for the children to take part in and the rooms are inviting for the children to find their own play as well as having plenty of organised activities for them to take part in!
I highly recommend Top’s Isle of Wight as a modern and forthcoming nursery that cares about the environment our children are growing up in.

I can't recommend this nursery enough. My daughter moved from a different nursery and settled in immediately. The staff are very kind and caring and my daughter loves them. I know she's in safe hands and it's so clean compared to other nurseries, it's very well maintained.

My little girl started in September and has come on so much already, thanks to all the staff at tops. We have seen such a change in her. She always looks forward to going to playgroup, seeing her friends and the staff. All the staff are so welcoming and so interactive with the children, with such a
range of planned fun activities. We're so happy we choose Tops Day Nursery for our daughter.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.687)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.687) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Newport Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.595 for Tops Day Nurseries: Newport Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.595

  • b) 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 4.092 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Newport 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.2 = 0.492

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
