    We did have an issue, which was nappy rash related but after a discussion regarding his more frequent nappy changes, the issue and rashes have been resolved. The team are fantastic and give me lots of information during the handover. The pathway into the childcare centre needs to be maintained as a lot of overgrown bushes, a canopy would be nice for when parents are waiting in bad weather as the inside area is on the smaller side. Really great childcare centre, my one-year-old seems to be thriving, which is excellent and has made lots of friends.

    Being her sole carer, and with lockdown meaning it’s been only the two of us 24/7 for over 4 months, I was very nervous about leaving her with strangers. However, she has settled amazingly well and I can’t thank the whole team enough, they’ve really gone the extra mile to smooth the transition for her (and for me, consistently checking that I’m ok too). Everyone is compassionate and attentive, and I completely trust in them that my daughter is in secure hands, and being very well cared for. 100% suggest, especially if perhaps your kid is highly attached as mine is; they really have taken away the worries I had initially, and I can see childcare centre is already helping her to thrive and build her self‑assurance, it’s so reassuring for me to see. Thank you all. I couldn’t be happier that I chose Tops Devonport for my daughter!

    After moving my daughter here from another childcare centre, they made her sense comfortable, welcome and well supported through this transitioning period. She comes away cheerful, telling me all about her day. Which as a parent is a massive thing as you want nothing more than your kids to be cheerful. The childcare centre is spotless, tidy and has alot of resources and outside garden space. The team are incredible.

    They have very great updates and consistently cheerful and welcoming team. The hours are very flexible and consistently cheerful to help when they can. Management is definitely the best it’s been and I highly suggest Tops childcare centre to everyone I speak to. The childcare centre has been excellent with my kid and me, consistently helping when I need it, by last-minute calls I give them and ask for my daughter to go in.

    My son loves the team, the facilities and the variety of activities on a daily basis.
    The team are all incredible and care for the kids.
    I adore they go to the local residential homes, parks and libraries. Would suggest Tops Devonport to anyone looking for a secure and enjoyable setting for their little one.

    They are consistently discovering something new and going on trips within the community. The team are all incredible, they are consistently so positive and full of encouragement, they really build the kids self‑assurance and teach them invaluable life skills and values.
    I adore their focus on being eco-welcoming and the menus are so exciting and give the kids the opportunity to try such a variety of foods. This is one very special childcare centre. I have 2 kids at this childcare centre and both of them adore coming here.

    team are welcoming and attentive to the kids and you can tell they delight in their jobs. The setting itself is spotless and has great indoor and outdoor facilities as well as lots of toys for the kids to use. team are supportive and informative towards parents and there are lots of developmental schemes to help kids (potty training, teeth brushing etc). Healthy meals with lots of variety and served to the kids throughout the day. There is an outstanding positive atmosphere at the childcare centre and this goes a long way in preparing kids for school. This has been a excellent setting for my two kids.

    My two nearly three-year-old son is thriving here, all thanks to them. He’s consistently excited to go to childcare centre. His speech has improved leaps and bounds, they had really taken into consideration the particular help my son needs and gives him the one to one time to work with him. The cold and inviting meal time options are top marks. There are consistently remarkable group activities. I adore seeing the pictures and reading the description of what the team are monitoring, such as the fine and gross motor skills shared on the app, this is such a nice touch. I sense like we have hit the jackpot with these girls. Thank you for all of your care and attention. I can’t praise the team at Tops Day Nurseries: Devonport childcare centre enough.

    She has such a lovely relationship with everyone in the childcare centre and she is so cheerful to go in the mornings, she runs in with a smile on her face. She has made so much development and they consistently keep me up to date with how she’s doing, whether that be at the door on a daily basis or through reports on the parent’s app. We get observations regularly to see what she has been up to throughout the day. team are so welcoming and approachable and I wouldn’t send my daughter anywhere else. She has acquired a great range of vocabulary and learnt to be independent where necessary through childcare centre and these skills she now uses at home. If I ever had another kid I would definitely send them here. My little girl has been in Tops Day childcare centre, Devonport since she was three months old and is now two.

    He has developed so much since starting at tops days. He has never cry once I drop him and he consistently is cheerful to see the team there. The childcare centre Practitioner is excellent and does a remarkable job, and the Manager consistently makes my little one smile. They are doing a great job. Very recommended. Tops days childcare centre is been excellent for my son, I was a bit anxious when first I had to return to work but seen how he enjoys going to childcare centre make me sense at ease.

    My daughter loves going into childcare centre. She is an outdoors kid so the free flow garden was a definite winner.
    Sadly during the short time that my daughter has been going there has been a high turnover of team including management. I’m hoping the new management team will change this turnover. I’m a true advocate for if my kid is cheerful then that makes me cheerful.

    We were on a very tight time scale to find a new childcare centre in September, and the manager went above and beyond to make everything as smooth and quick as possible. My little one is cheerful, thriving and adores the team.
    Thank you all for looking after my daughter so well. I have and will continue to suggest this childcare centre. Tops Day Nurseries: Devonport childcare centre have been incredible with my little girl.

    But once they settled and became so cheerful with their new childcare centre I couldn’t change them back to the other one. They both have come on leaps and bounds since joining Tops. The team are so welcoming and are consistently willing to help. My Mum died during lockdown and I needed help at childcare centre last minute and they managed to have them in full time for the whole week whilst I made arrangements at home. The girls are consistently asking ‘how many sleeps until childcare centre’. Two of my girls joined this childcare centre during lockdown and it was only meant to be temporary until their other childcare centre reopened.

    We couldn’t be happier with our choice of childcare centre. The team have consistently been fantastic, and compassionate. I was nervous at first to send our daughter to childcare centre during the pandemic but the team have been incredible throughout. Our daughter is consistently cheerful to go to childcare centre and consistently comes out having had a nice day. We couldn’t suggest the childcare centre more! Our daughter (3) has been going to Tops Day Nurseries: Devonport childcare centre for just over a year now and she absolutely loves it.

    She’s consistently excited to go, loves all the team members and comes home cheerful after her day. The team have consistently been really supportive of the whole family if we have encountered any issues in our lives. My daughter eats so well at childcare centre and usually ends up getting a second helping because she enjoyed the food so much. She loves all the activities that she gets to do here and as we don’t have a garden at home, she gets to delight in all the outside space. My daughter has come into her own since starting here.

    The meals and snacks they are given are consistently healthy and the team are all exceptional and really care. They are flexible with times to 15 minutes which is really excellent for my working day as it’s not consistently 9-5! My eldest daughter has been attending this setting for over two years and now my youngest has started, they both delight in their time in childcare centre and do a wide range of activities including forest school.

    She has become very confident, outgoing, independent and more importantly, her speech development has grown by leaps and bounds.
    She consistently looks forward to going to childcare centre and recognises most of the team when she sees them. We consistently look forward to the activity updates we receive, and are very cheerful with the care and assistance the team at Tops Day, Devonport provide. There has been such a massive improvement in my two-year-old since she started at Tops Day, Devonport.

    Before starting childcare centre, I was worried about his development, merely communications and problem solving, but since December (when he started), he has developed so much, to the point I am no longer worried. The management, admin and team have all been so welcoming and reassuring, and I can see how much my son loves being there. This is due to the exceptional effort, care and attention of the whole team. Thank you so very much to Tops childcare centre Devonport. Tops Day childcare centre Devonport has had such an incredible impact on my 2-year-old son.
