Welcome to Tops Day Nurseries: Efford, Plymouth
Our Efford nursery in Plymouth is part of DELL Children’s Centre – for children and their families covering Deer Park, Efford, Lipson and Laira.
Tops Efford is fortunate enough to be nestled a stone’s throw away from the beautiful Efford Marsh– a breathtaking Nature Reserve which spans 28 hectares. Tops Forest School children could have the opportunity to explore sensory fields of wild garlic and bluebells and try their hand at tracking badgers or identifying wildflowers and trees.
Our bright open-plan rooms allow children in our care to explore a vast array of natural resources. The children in pre-school have free-flow access into our impressive garden space, which features a climbing frame, slide, sandpit and much more.
We respect children and believe that they deserve the best possible start into their journey of life, that is why we ensure that we provide happy, loving care and education. We’d love for you to pop by and see us!
Tops Efford 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.
