Welcome to Tops Gillingham, an Ofsted 'Good' nursery
Tops Gillingham (formerly Baby Grows Day Nursery) is a fun and friendly day nursery, catering for children from 3 months old until they are ready to start school. Our nursery prides itself as being a special place to which children of all ages love to come; feeling safe, secure, valued and cared for by each other and by the committed and motivated staff.
Outside you will find an enclosed garden in which your children can play, plant and potter. We are also lucky to be close to paved country walks and local parks as well as on hand for visits to local shops, the library, Post Office and so on, enabling us to broaden your children’s experience of the local community.

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 Tops Gillingham parents & carers say
“After an extensive look around all of the nurseries in the local area, we decided on Tops Gillingham. All the staff are so friendly, welcoming and very attentive to the children. ”
Hayley
“Every time I collect my son I am informed what he has eaten, what he has learned, and what he has done that day often along with some funny moments which it is precious to be able to share. The log allowing parents to see new observations for their child as soon as they are added really reassures me that there is now a focus on getting him ready for school and always plenty of support and encouragement for how I can help him at home. ”
Jemma
“The staff are professional and approachable and treat my daughter as if she were their own. The facilities are great and the activities for the children are age appropriate and stimulating. Emails and calls are responded to quickly and communication is fantastic.”
Julie
“He eats well, plays and learns things that Mum and Dad can't offer at home. The service provision is exemplary and we would highly recommend this nursery to all parents.”
Tim
“We spent time looking at all available nurseries in the area, and Tops Gillingham stood out straight away with the cleanliness, friendliness of staff, creative additions in the rooms, the outdoor secure space and the confident management on site. ”
