Welcome to Topsie Gillingham, Dorset, the most recent addition to the Tops Day Nurseries group.

Topsie Gillingham is a fun and friendly preschool, providing early education and care for children from 2 years old until they are ready to start school.

The nursery prides themselves on being an inspirational nursery in which children’s imaginations can run wild. At Topsie Gillingham, they have introduced beautiful and stimulating areas throughout the whole nursery to maximise the developmental experiences for your child. They focus their set ups on loose parts provocations, this type of open ended play supports fascination and exploration.

Topsie Gillingham is the smallest nursery in the Tops Day Nurseries family, offering a cosy and personal environment. In the preschool room they have introduced a “real” curiosity approach using interesting and natural resources, more loose parts provocations to play, lots of plants and gardening activities and have neutralised some of the bright colours to support children’s learning and development in line with current research and best practice.

Parents will also benefit from flexible bookings, like the rest of the Tops Day Nurseries across the South, where they can book to the nearest 15 minutes. Other benefits include, sustainable outdoor and indoor environments, no added sugar menus and a range of extra-curricular activities.

This nursery is part of a group that provides the most eco-sustainable Early Education and Care in the UK, being respectful of the environment and acting to reduce, re-use and recycle resources is an important part of the culture and routine for the children and staff.
