My 3-year-old daughter is thriving at Tops Day Nurseries: Stonehouse. She is a quiet and shy child but has really come out of her shell due to the care and encouragement of the staff. She speaks very positively about the adults and all of the other children. There never seems to be unkindness from other
children and the staff seem to manage their social development well and help them to build positive relationships.
My daughter loves all the different activities and is showing a real interest in letters and numbers. She can sing and recite countless songs and rhymes and loves the garden.
The app is brilliant and photos are uploaded regularly.
She enjoys the food and often has seconds. Knowing the food is so healthy and tasty is very reassuring.
I moved my daughter from a different nursery which I didn't have an issue with, but Tops surpasses it in every area.

Since my little boy has been at nursery he has grown so much in himself. He's so much more confident. The staff are all extremely friendly and keep the app up to date so I know exactly what he's eaten and how long he's slept etc. They're always so welcoming and he is always happy to see them. When asking
the staff for things nothing is too much trouble and they're always so happy to accommodate. I would recommend Tops Stonehouse to everyone.

Tops Stonehouse is the loveliest nursery, my child had so much fun over Christmas. They made pretend hot chocolates, Christmas crafting (sustainably), they learned and performed Christmas songs. It was also lovely that the staff put on a stay-and-play morning so parents could come in and play with the
child and explore the setting together. The team are so friendly, approachable, kind and supportive, and they really know the children. My child has been coming home sharing the sounds they've learnt that day, and showing me how they write their letters. They're always so keen and happy to share what your child has been doing at nursery that day and uploading photos onto the app etc The admin team are also really helpful and supportive if you need to book extra days etc I'm so pleased we chose Tops Stonehouse.

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

I put my daughter into nursery when she was just 9 months old. My daughter is now 2 and a half years old. She gets so excited to go there and she loves everyone. The team are amazing and I cannot sing their praises enough. Since being in nursery I feel this has allowed her to really develop in her education
and it fascinates me how much she has learnt. Not only do they support my daughter, but as a first-time mummy I feel they have helped me in ways they probably don't even realize. I am so grateful to all of them and feel very blessed she was lucky enough to get a placement here.

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

Thank you so much for your heartfelt message. It truly warms our hearts to hear how much your daughter loves being at our nursery and how much she has developed since joining us. We are incredibly proud of our team and the nurturing environment they create. Knowing that we have also been able to support you as a first-time mum means a great deal to us. Your kind words are a wonderful affirmation of the effort we put into making our nursery a supportive and enriching place for both children and their families. We feel equally blessed to have your daughter with us and are grateful for your continued trust and support.

Fantastic nursery, my son started this setting when he was 12 months and I am happy with my choice as he loves going to nursery. This place has become his second home, as he’s always excited coming back. Very friendly, caring and professional staff, ready to go an extra mile to help. They have helped
my son to get the help he needed. Flexible hours to suit my work. I Highly Recommend Tops Day Nursery, Stonehouse with five stars.

So glad I chose to put my child into this nursery.
She loves her key worker, and whenever I mention her name at home, she smiles.
I feel completely confident in leaving her and have done from day one.

This is a lovely nursery.

My son comes home so happy, content and tied, and has become much more confident and sociable.

Tops is excellent. Our daughter is very happy and this is a complete change from her previous nursery. She is less shy and tells us about what she has done and about the friendships she is making. We are very happy with the care our daughter receives and policies are clearly communicated. 10/10 - Thanks
for all the work you do.

My daughter has been attending Tops In Stonehouse since January and she absolutely loves it. She has made a great bond with the members of staff in her room who go above and beyond to make sure she is settled and happy. All staff members are friendly and welcoming. The parents' app is great as I can
see pictures of her playing and also a daily diary to see what’s she’s eaten etc. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I choose to send my son to Tops Day Nursery in Stonehouse. I have heard nothing but good things about the nursery. All staff have taken a real shine to him and are always happy to see him when he arrives. My little one is always excited to go into the nursery and will hold his hands out and go to the
member of staff taking him at the door. I love how I can find out how my son has been and what he ate throughout the day and any further information that I need to know. My little boy has developed such a funny character since going to nursery, and it’s been lovely to see what different activities he has been up to each time he attends nursery. The nursery has done amazingly, settling my little one into the nursery. I was so nervous about sending him but I know he is in the best of hands and will be cared for and looked after in the best way possible.

I chose Tops Day Nurseries as I felt the carers would look after my little boy as well as they could. They took a shine to him, got excited when he arrived and I feel they have really helped him with his talking, creativity and confidence. All the ladies in his room can always tell me how his day has
been. My little boy has developed such a funny character since going to nursery, he is more confident around people he doesn't know, but more importantly, has developed stronger bonds with his wider family. I do put this down to the care and support he gets at Tops nursery.

Topps, Stonehouse is a fantastic, professional and friendly nursery, where my children love going. Topps staff have helped my daughter, who has a developmental delay to become the girl she is today, reaching her milestones and learning new skills all of the time. I couldn't recommend Topps more, they
are great.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Tops Day Nurseries: Stonehouse Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.962 for Tops Day Nurseries: Stonehouse Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.962

  • 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: Stonehouse Nursery is based on 11 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
