Welcome to Tops Christchurch
The newly renovated old Priory Hall has been transformed into a beautiful nursery with a stunning custom designed garden.
The nursery benefits from being just a short walk from the priory, the children enjoy being able to go on walks within the local community to feed the ducks, watch the boats, explore the local park and much more. This allows our children to be able to enjoy the outdoors environment through regular outings and trips through our Tops Forest school.
We want all of our children to be independent and inquisitive learners. We place great emphasis on supporting children to develop their confidence and self-esteem and to realise their full potential. Children are encouraged to explore and investigate, to question and to develop their own ideas.
Learning should be fun and learning through play is at the heart of the EYFS. We provide a fun, stimulating and inviting environment where children can experience a wide range of activities and learning opportunities both inside and outside.
We enjoy working in partnership with our parents, carers and families to support their child’s learning at nursery and at home.
This nursery is part of a group that provides the most eco-sustainable childcare and education 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.

Whilst your child is in our care we are more than happy for you to call us as often as you like to talk to a member of staff about your child and their day at nursery. During your child’s day at nursery we will record important information to share with you, such as sleep times/nappy changes and information about milk/food intake. This information is added to a daily report which is submitted onto EYLOG.
What makes Tops different?
