My son is happy here from the beginning. As he hadn't settled in another nursery I was a bit afraid of how this will go. But Topsie is the best nursery and I'll highly recommend it as a mother. They do lots of activities, learning and staff is absolutely amazing.

Since starting at Topsie's my son has progressed massively in his development, especially his speech. The staff have supported him with his personal development with his potty training, and he can now confidentially do this. The facilities at Topsie's are always clean with exciting opportunities for
the child to enjoy. The best decision we made was starting him at Topsies.

I'm really pleased with Topsie Yeovil and I especially love the outdoor space that they have. My son always enjoys going to preschool and the different activities that he does there, which gives me peace of mind. The staff are all very friendly and helpful whenever I have any questions. Also, I love
receiving photos and observations on the app, showing me what my son is up to.

Since we joined Topsie Yeovil, my son's independence has grown loads. He loves going to the nursery and seeing his friends. He is always as excited to go in as he is to tell me how his day was. The staff are all lovely and very helpful. We are very happy with the nursery and how much it's helped and
how flexible it is. Thank you.

Really enjoy the app, as we see a lot of what she does through that. She always is really happy to go in and happy when we pick her up. Any issues with toilet training were helped greatly by preschool. They really listen to her and her needs which is massively important to her. She really loves all
the staff and we, as parents, get a great vibe from there. My only complaint is admin is a nightmare to get hold of on the phone and when they say they will look into a day we want to send her in for us, they never call back.

I was recommended Topsie's by a relative that's had all her 3 children there. She has always spoken very highly of the staff and placement. My 3-year-old has been there for a month and has made progress in various areas, with thanks to the team and other children. Such as finally pushing himself to
peddle on bikes and other equipment, he's also doing much better with his lunch. He has made some great friendship bonds and looks forward to returning to each session. Very pleased with the staff and setting.

I'm so pleased we moved our 2 children to Topsie Yeovil. My children have become very independent and engage with more children and communication and talking have improved. Both of my children love this nursery, especially the huge outdoor area, and the staff are just amazing. They treat you like a
friend and not just a service provider. They have supported me and other parents through anything and everything. I have complete trust in their abilities and care and I will continue to use this nursery and recommend it to anyone. A really wonderful nursery that needs more recognition for what they do and provide, can't thank them enough.

Our older son used to go to this preschool when it used to be known as St Mary's. From our experience, the transition to it being Topsie's has been smooth and positive. Still a great space for young children, especially the outdoors. Still a great, caring and attentive staff team. My children get so
excited about going, they don't even want to say goodbye. So reassuring as a parent.

Topsie Yeovil provides an exciting, caring, supportive and varied environment for our child. The staff are lovely, and all seem to know my child well and are always aware of what she has been up to. She enjoys her time, and they help her to explore new things.
My only criticism is that I would like
more observations to be provided to help communicate her progress and what she has been up to.

I can't recommend Topsie enough - the staff are excellent. Great communication between staff and parents. My son loves going here and is always happy to attend. He has made a lovely bunch of friends and I know with the help and support from the staff, he will flourish and continue to be an independent,
hardworking little boy. Thank you again for all your help and support ladies.

My son enjoys coming to Topsies, so much so he has a strop if I say we are not going today. The staff are excellent and consistent, I 100% trust them, my child has a few allergies and they always keep me in touch with what they are doing to make sure I am happy for him to join in or they make sure he
joins in the activity up to when he can do. I feel his is 100% safe here and well looked after. He really has come out of his shell, he’s conquered potty training and now is in pants day and night, we couldn’t have done this without Topsies help. They have an award system and he loves getting the awards. The staff are really approachable, Harry has never hesitated going in, he hardly says bye as he’s so excited to be at Topsies. They are very much an extended family to us.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.738)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) out of 10 for Topsie Yeovil 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.938 for Topsie Yeovil is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Topsie Yeovil is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 8 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.
