My son has been attending the nursery since he was 9 months old. The staff are always so welcoming and make me feel at ease leaving him in their care.
I love being able to see pictures and observations to see what he's been up to through the eyLog.
Every day my son is excited to attend and I can
see how much his confidence has grown and his development is coming on so well. The nursery always has new and interesting activities for him to enjoy.
My son has nursery lunches which he really enjoys and I know these are nutritious and healthy for him. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

I tell everyone about Wareham Tops when other parents are looking for recommendations. My daughter joined at 7 months old and she absolutely loves it. The teachers are all really friendly and supportive. The daily observations we get sent in a daily email are brilliant and a great way of showing us
how well she is progressing. There are alot of extra activities for the children to take part in from cooking school to forest walks. They also have a Toothbrushing scheme that has helped at home too.

The staff at Tops are amazing. My boy was very shy and didn’t like me leaving him. They built a good bond with him and helped him gain confidence. He now loves going, the staff will do everything and anything for the children.

My son has attended Tops Day Nursery - Wareham since September 2017 and he loves every minute of it. The staff are all so very friendly and make leaving him a lot easier than I ever thought it would be.
He has come on so well with his speech and I definitely think this is down to the nursery.
He
loves his key worker a lot and this is so lovely to see.
He gets plenty of outdoor play which he enjoys a lot and which is his favourite part as he is a very outdoors boy.
I will also be signing him up to the forest which I think is an excellent idea.
My son also now loves brushing his teeth and I think this so also down to the toothbrushing programme from Tops.
Well done team to the Tops team, you are all super.

Tops Wareham is just fantastic! My daughter has attended this nursery for nearly two years. My daughter has additional needs and the nursery have supported her and continue to support her with her development. The nursery manager is fantastic and has an amazing team behind her. My daughter loves her
key worker and since being at nursery her confidence has grown. My daughter does forest school, cooking, yoga and loves to paint and sing nursery rhymes! My daughter has breakfast, lunch and tea at the nursery, loves the food and eats well. The nursery has sugar free menus and promotes sustainability. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Excellent nursery, my son enjoys every session he attends. He always wants to return, he takes part in cooking school and loves it.
This nursery promotes healthy eating and outdoor play. Staff are very friendly and are always happy to help. Very good care and great safeguarding towards vulnerable
children. Have had no issues with Tops day nurseries, very happy with the service. Sad when my son will have to leave, but onto his new adventure in September, big school.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

My son has been at the nursery for just coming up to two years and I can't praise the nursery enough for how well they have cared from him. The staff are always friendly, attentive and interested in my son. He has developed in every area since being a part of the nursery and has made really strong bonds
with all the staff who look after him. His language, sharing and interaction with other children and adults has all come on so much. Being able to book flexible times at 15 minute intervals has made the work/nursery juggling act just so much easier! Excellent quality food; designed to be low salt and sugar. Great outside area/garden that they get to use all the time. Really happy and feel lucky to have my child in a nursery like this.

Our youngest granddaughter (now 14) and our great-granddaughter (17 months) have gained huge benefits from attending TOPS Day Nursery at Wareham. Our granddaughter attended from age 1 to starting school and the great-granddaughter has been attending for the past year. The facilities are superb and the
staff helpful and caring. The children have the opportunity to try out tastes and experiences which they may not get at home. There are lots of ‘new’ things since our great-granddaughter attended, such as teeth cleaning, potty-training and the regular updates on progress via eyLog. We can’t recommend highly enough the excellent start to their early years that TOPS provides for pre-school children.

I am extremely happy with the care and support that my son receives every time he attends nursery. He has a fantastic bond with all staff and a very special bond with his key person. He has progressed and developed so well since starting in the preschool unit, he can now count up to 60, write his name,
more confident with learning his letters and sounds and is able to dress himself ready for school in September. overall so impressed with the care.

The activities she does are amazing.
The children are encouraged to do things for themselves whilst being in the lovely care of the team.
Lots of opportunities to play outside and learn through exploring whilst having so much fun.

My daughter joined Tops Wareham in September 2016 and we have been so pleased with the care she has received. She loves going to 'school' and comes out beaming, telling us all about her day. The staff have been amazing and have really taken the time to get to know our little girl. This has been evident
in her online learning journey, report and through chatting with staff. She is being moved forward in her learning each time she attends through personalised next steps and, as a Reception teacher myself, I know she is developing all the skill she needs for a bright future. I would fully recommend Tops to anyone and look forward to seeing our little girl flourish even further during her time there. Thank you so much!

My little boy goes to Tops Day Nursery - Wareham every Monday. He gets excited on arrival and he loves playing around with the toys and games. We have never had any issues with them. The staff are always approachable and a great team. They are always smiling and helpful. We wouldn't take him anywhere
else. On the plus side, he gets tired out and lets us have a great night sleep!

Lovely girls. As a first-time mum, it's very scary leaving your baby at a nursery. The girls looked after my little man of 9 months, gave him lots of cuddles and put up with my phoning to check on him because I flap way too much.

My son has really enjoyed going to Tops and he has learnt lots and had good fun. The management and staff have been very friendly and helpful always. My son's key worker and teachers are caring and kind professionals, and always welcome him in the morning and make sure that he is happy and settled.
When I fetch him, I am always told about his meals and any other information needed. Regular updates are sent to the e-log and I value this too. My son is taught lots of interesting things at school, has good friends and enjoys going there. He plays outdoors and is learning very effectively. The management and all staff at Tops are very good as teachers and as caring people who know how to work very well with precious children. Thank you and well done. I appreciate the good work.

I am extremely happy with the care Tops Wareham provide my son. They have the perfect mix of being professional combined with being caring. My son has a fun structured day, great home cooked meals and lots of cuddles. I feel that all the staff know my son personally and his care is personalised to his
needs. They are very flexible around bookings and have an easy booking and paying system. I have never had a concern with Tops Wareham and I feel confident every time I drop my son off that he is going to have a fun day and be well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.681)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.681) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Wareham Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.824 for Tops Day Nurseries: Wareham Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.824

  • 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 4.857 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Wareham Nursery is based on 9 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.957

  • 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.
