My experience with Tops Day Nursery has always been positive. My son loves his time there and always leaves with a big smile on his face. The staff are great, very friendly, professional and give you lots of feedback about their day. They seem to have lots of engaging activities for the kids and my
son is always singing songs he has learnt there. Being at this nursery has really helped his development. Thank you.

Tops Day Nursery is a very safe and amazing place to take your child. My experience is very good and everybody who works there is professionally trained. My son has learnt a lot and he is very happy.

Overall our child's experience of the nursery has been very positive. When he first started going, we had very few tears and the staff engaged with both him and us immediately. Now he is nearing the end of his time there. He always asks to go and come home happy and tired, also well-fed! The food has
been excellent and the variety of food is very good.
There have been a few issues, mainly around shift booking availability, but these have been dealt with very well. Lastly, the staff have kept us informed of any issues, supported him at every step and celebrated his achievements with genuine enthusiasm.

Absolutely brilliant. The staff know our daughter really well and she's learning loads. She's always excited to go to nursery. Additionally, the food and menus look excellent. My toddler always comes home full up and happy. There is a picture, name and password system for collection so we are secure
in the knowledge that the nursery is safe.

My son is quite delayed in his speech when he came to Tops day nursery, but as time went by, he developed to engage in communication. We also found how he started to become disciplined towards other kids. His admission in the school is a big help in his early years and that I am hoping will continue
until he is school ready.

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

We're thrilled to hear about your son's progress at Tops, It's heartwarming to witness his journey from being delayed in speech to blossoming into a confident communicator.

Started my little boy at nursery very recently and it is going wonderful. The baby room staff are truly amazing, so caring and warm!
Baby boy is really enjoying himself and this big change on his life couldn’t have happened any more swiftly.
Very happy with the team, the room leader is really nice
and caring and so is my baby’s key worker. I haven’t had much contact with the other girls but I’m sure they are just as lovely too!
Thank you for your care with my little one!
I’d totally recommend the nursery, very professional, organised, everyone knows what they’re doing, very glad to have chosen Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery after visiting so many places!

I'm not sure where I should start but overall, our little one is always having a good time, he has developed so much since he joined almost a year ago!
The staff and the management are doing the best possible and looking after all the children equally.
They always have new things to do, outdoor activities,
variety of healthy food.
The carers are so keen to track the children's progress in all aspects and they remember everything. They do their job with love.
I like the team spirit between the three divisions in the nursery, they integrate and help each other which reflects on all the children in different ages.
For example, my little one is known by the children in the other division with his name and he is always looking forward to seeing the other children from the other divisions when there is a chance which affects his personality positively.

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

We had to move my daughter over in October last year as her nursery closed down. The nursery manager was so accommodating to the change and her staff are amazing. They are very committed and communicate well about your child’s well-being. They have an amazing menu and they do lots of incredible activities
with all the children. While we loved her old nursery, this was a good change and they are all so incredible and understanding

My daughter absolutely loves attending nursery. She attends 4 times a week and I’m so glad she’s in a place where she feels loved and cared for. The staff are amazing, very accommodating as my shifts change occasionally and very helpful too. She has learnt so much over the past 6 months, she recites
her ABC’s at ease and can count to 10!

Overall my daughter was happy at this nursery. Unfortunately, the nursery has gone down over the last few months. There is a very high turnover of staff and a distinct lack of communication with parents which unfortunately lead to safeguarding concerns. The setting is good. My daughter developed some
great relationships with some staff and children.

Lovely nursery, really engaging with the children. I especially like that their play equipment is made from natural and recyclable products. I wish I had more frequent updates to the parents' app and a couple of the staff aren't very confident in talking to the adults. Overall, however, I would recommend
this nursery.

My son started attending Tops Day nursery in April. He loves it so much and is always happy walking out, telling me about the fun things he has done. All staff are great at letting me know how he has been and updating the app with pictures, as well as the unfortunate accidents. Have great meals which
my son finishes and would never eat at home. Thank you for all your hard work, especially through the pandemic!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.853 for Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.853

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tops Day Nurseries: Yeovil Nursery is based on 13 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
