    He has got a really great relationship with the team. Whenever I pick him up, I consistently have brief feedback about how was he through the day. Everyone is extremely supportive and compassionate. I am completely satisfied.
    I received updates about everything, so I am consistently up to date.
    The app system gives an insight into what my son was doing, what his interest was for the week.
    The admin team and manager is also very supportive and understanding, even in tricky situations, and I can comfortably turn to them for help or guidance if needed.
    I can definitely suggest this branch. My son loves going to his sessions.

    Lovely team, outstanding facilities, very spotless and kids were all surprisingly chilled on an open day visit which I sense is a reflection of the incredible team.
    My daughter loved her time at this childcare centre and graduated up in to big school but still comes in holidays for the hi5 club which is also outstanding.
    I highly suggest a visit to see for yourself.

    Both my kids went to this childcare centre; they were very cheerful.
    The team is incredible and very supportive and lovely.
    My kids learnt a lot of things, and they were very cheerful to go to childcare centre.
    The childcare centre is very spotless, and they have lots of activities. I highly suggest this childcare centre.

    She can’t wait to go to the childcare centre. When I take her, she is sad because she wants to stay more. She has learned a lot of things in the childcare centre. My daughter is feeling more comfortable in the childcare centre and she likes the team.

    However, the team have been incredible both with getting her settled and reassuring me! She absolutely loves going to childcare centre and has come on personally so much since she started! Thank you all! My daughter started with your childcare centre in June, I was a little worried as she had never been and started just after the main COVID shut down.

    The team and management are welcoming, flexible and resourceful. They provide spaces for babies and kids to really flourish in their setting. Teamed with nurturing team and extra activities like forest school and cookery school, this is an outstanding start for any little one to learn and grow. Tops Boscombe is a fantastic setting for any kid.

    I adore the way they do daily diaries so you know exactly what they have been doing while there, they really take care of the development and understanding of how your kid is improving. I would highly suggest this childcare centre to everyone. I adore this childcare centre, my little girl won’t even say goodbye to me when dropping her off as she just wants to go in and get busy.

    My daughter has missed her older brother. Team have been so attentive to her needs – giving her extra cuddles. Recently my daughter moved rooms, the transition was so supported, that it went very well despite the close bond she had with team in the room she was leaving. Both of my kids have loved the extra activities Tops provide, especially forest school. Up until recently I have had two kids at Tops.

    At the beginning of the pandemic, we managed to look after our 3 sons because of my mom being temporary “stuck” with. She came to visit and couldn’t return to her home country. After 5 weeks of 3 under 5’s being locked in the house we started to struggle, especially my mom, as she was left by herself looking after them when me and my husband are both key workers. The manager at Tops Day Childcare centre was very understanding and supportive and she tried her best to get our son into the childcare centre. When the excellent news arrived that our son could go to the childcare centre 3 days a week we were all very pleased and relieved. Our son loves the setting, his new friends and all the educators. Many thanks Tops Day Childcare centre, Boscombe. I’m very pleased with the kindness of the educators at Tops Day Childcare centre, Boscombe, especially during this difficult time, my son’s childcare centre closed during the COVID-19 pandemic as they are a small childcare centre.

    The team really helped nurture his self‑assurance and skills. They were consistently supportive to parents too. He already can’t wait to go back for High 5 in October. My son had a excellent time discovering and playing at Tops Boscombe for three years.

    I am really impressed with the attentiveness of the team, how well they communicate everything with me (both the childcare centre team and admin team) and how much my son loves attending. It is excellent that they make use of the outside space when the weather allows, and they consistently have different activities going on to keep the kids engaged. They provide daily diary updates on the app in a timely manner and also share pictures on a weekly-or-so basis of what my son has been up to, which I adore seeing. For me, the things that interested me about Tops more generally was the flexibility of bookings and their commitment to sustainability. I really value that they offer great vegetarian meals for my son and that they are supportive of our choice of using reusable nappies (and actively promote this). My son has been at Tops Boscombe for just over four months now, and he has settled in so well.

    The daily updates and the app are excellent. It is consistently nice to see what he has been doing during the day.
    There is great updates between home and childcare centre; both written and verbal feedback is very useful.
    I am very grateful to all the team and his key worker, who has been incredible.
    Thank you to all of you. All team have been very compassionate and have helped my kid settle into the childcare centre.

    The team have been extremely welcoming and supportive on a one to one basis. Also, my son has a excellent time and it was warming how the team aided him in the settling in process. I have had nothing but great experiences since enlisting my 2 year old son at Tops Day Nurseries: Boscombe Childcare centre.

    There is a main carer for each area plus the assistant(s).
    All of them were incredible!
    It’s really supportive and comfortable that you can rely on them to care for your kid; they consistently called me if something happened and just to keep me updated of any accident or issue.
    This is for me what makes difference and matters.
    I don’t want to make this a long and tedious review to read, the negative aspects are really few and are no worthy for comments.
    This particular childcare centre has my praise and I will suggest it to anyone. I have used tops childcare centre in Boscombe for almost two years, my sons started at (near) two years old and (near) four years old up to three years old and five years old.
    * The best:
    The carers: they divide the kids into four areas, each area is for a group of age.

    She absolutely loves going to childcare centre now and comes home telling me all about what a great day she’s had with all of her friends. The care she receives is outstanding and I would suggest Tops to anyone. My two-year-old daughter has been going to Tops Boscombe for just under a year now and she has settled in very well, thanks to the help of all the team.

    Thank you for all the work you are doing and the care you give my son. I really appreciate it. I would also like to say a massive thank you to the team looking after my son, it was nerve-wracking sending him back in after so much time off but they have been exceptional and he has really enjoyed it.

    I was very nervous about sending my baby off to childcare centre, but the team and childcare centre as a whole have made it easy to leave her in someone else care. Would defiantly suggest! Since my kid has started at Tops Boscombe, she has loved every second of it.

    Throughout the pandemic, the childcare centre has been supportive and understanding, whilst ensuring the safety of team, kids and parents. They offer a excellent range of resources for the kids to playtime with. Additional cooking and forest school too, never mind the flexibility with bookings! It’s terrific! The team at Tops Boscombe are just remarkable.

    I adore the flexibility of hours it really helps with work patterns.
    My daughter consistently comes home cheerful after her day at childcare centre, this really makes me sense at ease when leaving her in their care. The team are incredible here, they are consistently cheerful to help me and my kid, especially with her toilet training.

    My daughter has built up excellent attachments to the team in the baby room and I really get a feeling that they truly care about my kid’s wellbeing and happiness. The team are consistently welcoming and expert and I have recomended Tops Boscombe to a friend of mine who is about to return to work and is looking for a childcare solution. I really rate Tops Childcare centre Boscombe, so much so that when we moved a couple of miles away, we kept our daughter there rather than move her to a closer one.
