February 27, 2020 at 12:00 amI have 2 children at this nursery and both of them love coming here. They are always learning something new and going on trips within the community. The staff are all incredible, they are always so positive and full of encouragement, they really build the kids confidence and teach them invaluable life skills and values.
I love their focus on being eco-friendly and the menus are so exciting and give the kids the opportunity to try such a variety of foods. This is one very special nursery.

February 27, 2020 at 12:00 amWould recommend Tops Devonport to anyone looking for a safe and fun environment for their little one.
My son loves the staff, the facilities and the variety of activities on a daily basis.
The staff are all amazing and care for the children.
I love they go to the local residential homes, parks and libraries.

March 11, 2020 at 12:00 amI’m a true advocate for if my child is happy then that makes me happy. My daughter loves going into nursery. She is an outdoors child 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 staff including management. I’m hoping the new management team will change this turnover.

September 15, 2020 at 12:00 amI couldn’t be happier that I chose Tops Devonport for my daughter! 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, always checking that I’m ok too). Everyone is kind and attentive, and I completely trust in them that my daughter is in safe hands, and being very well cared for. 100% recommend, especially if perhaps your child is highly attached as mine is; they really have taken away the worries I had initially, and I can see nursery is already helping her to thrive and build her confidence, it’s so reassuring for me to see. Thank you all.

October 20, 2020 at 12:00 amTwo of my girls joined this nursery during lockdown and it was only meant to be temporary until their other nursery reopened. But once they settled and became so happy with their new nursery I couldn’t change them back to the other one. They both have come on leaps and bounds since joining Tops. The staff are so friendly and are always willing to help. My Mum died during lockdown and I needed help at nursery last minute and they managed to have them in full time for the whole week whilst I made arrangements at home. The girls are always asking ‘how many sleeps until nursery’.

October 26, 2020 at 12:00 amThe nursery has been great with my child and me, always helping when I need it, by last-minute calls I give them and ask for my daughter to go in. They have very good communication and always happy and friendly staff. The hours are very flexible and always happy to help when they can. Management is definitely the best it’s been and I highly recommend Tops Nursery to everyone I speak to.

March 17, 2021 at 12:00 amTops Day nursery Devonport has had such an amazing impact on my 2-year-old son. Before starting nursery, 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 staff have all been so welcoming and reassuring, and I can see how much my son loves being there. This is due to the brilliant effort, care and attention of the whole team. Thank you so very much to Tops nursery Devonport.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amThis has been a great setting for my two children. Staff are friendly and caring to the children and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. The setting itself is clean and has good indoor and outdoor facilities as well as lots of toys for the children to use. Staff are supportive and informative towards parents and there are lots of developmental schemes to help children (potty training, teeth brushing etc). Healthy meals with lots of variety and served to the children throughout the day. There is an excellent positive atmosphere at the nursery and this goes a long way in preparing children for school.

October 22, 2021 at 12:00 amTops days nursery is been great for my son, I was a bit anxious when first I had to return to work but seen how he enjoys going to nursery make me feel at ease. He has developed so much since starting at tops days. He has never cry once I drop him and he always is happy to see the staff there. The Nursery Practitioner is great and does a fantastic job, and the Manager always makes my little one smile. They are doing a good job. Very recommended.

October 22, 2021 at 12:00 amTops Day Nurseries: Devonport Nursery have been incredible with my little girl. We were on a very tight time scale to find a new nursery in September, and the manager went above and beyond to make everything as smooth and quick as possible. My little one is happy, thriving and adores the staff.
Thank you all for looking after my daughter so well. I have and will continue to recommend this nursery.

October 22, 2021 at 12:00 amThe staff are amazing. After moving my daughter here from another nursery, they made her feel comfortable, welcome and well supported through this transitioning period. She comes away happy, telling me all about her day. Which as a parent is a massive thing as you want nothing more than your children to be happy. The nursery is clean, tidy and has alot of resources and outside garden space.

October 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy eldest daughter has been attending this setting for over two years and now my youngest has started, they both enjoy their time in nursery and do a wide range of activities including forest school. The meals and snacks they are given are always healthy and the staff are all brilliant and really care. They are flexible with times to 15 minutes which is really great for my working day as it’s not always 9-5!

October 22, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter (3) has been going to Tops Day Nurseries: Devonport Nursery for just over a year now and she absolutely loves it. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery. The staff have always been wonderful, and kind. I was nervous at first to send our daughter to nursery during the pandemic but the staff have been amazing throughout. Our daughter is always happy to go to nursery and always comes out having had a nice day. We couldn’t recommend the nursery more!

May 4, 2022 at 12:00 amI can’t praise the staff at Tops Day Nurseries: Devonport Nursery enough. My two nearly three-year-old son is thriving here, all thanks to them. He’s always excited to go to nursery. 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 warm meal time options are top marks. There are always fantastic group activities. I love seeing the pictures and reading the description of what the staff are monitoring, such as the fine and gross motor skills shared on the app, this is such a nice touch. I feel like we have hit the jackpot with these girls. Thank you for all of your care and attention.

November 29, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has come into her own since starting here. She’s always excited to go, loves all the staff members and comes home happy after her day. The staff have always been really supportive of the whole family if we have encountered any issues in our lives. My daughter eats so well at nursery 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 enjoy all the outside space.

December 1, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been in Tops Day Nursery, Devonport since she was three months old and is now two. She has such a lovely relationship with everyone in the nursery and she is so happy to go in the mornings, she runs in with a smile on her face. She has made so much progress and they always 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. Staff are so friendly and approachable and I wouldn’t send my daughter anywhere else. She has acquired a good range of vocabulary and learnt to be independent where necessary through nursery and these skills she now uses at home. If I ever had another child I would definitely send them here.

December 2, 2022 at 12:00 amThere has been such a massive improvement in my two-year-old since she started at Tops Day, Devonport. She has become very confident, outgoing, independent and more importantly, her speech development has grown by leaps and bounds.
She always looks forward to going to nursery and recognises most of the staff when she sees them. We always look forward to the activity updates we receive, and are very happy with the care and support the team at Tops Day, Devonport provide.

December 19, 2022 at 12:00 amReally good nursery, my one-year-old seems to be thriving, which is great and has made lots of friends. 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 staff are wonderful and give me lots of information during the handover. The pathway into the nursery 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.
