Not far from Tops Devonport is the multi-sport complex Brickfields Recreation Ground, which offers both indoor and outdoor activities, as well as several sites of historical interest such as Halfpenny Bridge and the Naval Heritage Centre.
Our beautiful nursery has an impressive 3 gardens, designed specifically for babies under 2, 2-3’s and pre-school children. Tops Devonport also hosts a Hi 5’s breakfast and holiday club for children up to the age of 7
At Tops Day Nurseries our aim is for all children to meet or exceed expected development for their age. We are implementing ‘SchemaPlay’ across all of our settings to help narrow the gap for any children showing signs of delay and to also enhance the learning experiences for all children that attend our settings. ‘SchemaPlay have recently created a video to help parents understand what schemes are, and how these can be identified and promoted at home. Watch the full video here’.
We respect children and believe that they deserve best possible start into their journey of life, that is why we ensure that we provide happy, loving childcare and education. We’d love for you to pop by and see us!
This nursery is part of a group that provides the most eco-sustainable Early Education and Care 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 discuss their childcare or 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.
