Children attending the nursery have easy access to a variety of local parks as well as access to the town centre and the bus station. This allows our children to experience the outdoors as much as possible by taking part in regular trips, Football Fun and Tops Forest School sessions.
We have developed strong links with local care homes and our preschool children regularly get involved with a ‘Joining Generations’ programme where they socialise and take part in activities with care home residents. We also have a good relationship with the local college which is great as our children are allowed to explore their grounds and make regular trips.
Our main aim under our ethos of ‘flexible nurturing care’ is to ensure we focus on each child’s individuality and ensure that we create activities to meet their own passions and needs. We build a warm, friendly and safe environment to nurture each child through their early years, and provide a stimulating and loving environment for them to learn and develop.
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.
The children at Tops benefit from our balanced no-added sugar menus that we have designed to support growth and development using the Children’s Food Trust Recommendations. To view our healthy, nutritious recipes click here.
Tops Musgrove also implements extra-curricular activities in line with the rest of the Tops Day Nurseries family. For example, Tops Cooking School, Boogie Mites, yoga, tooth brushing, Football Fun and much more!
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.
If you are looking for childcare in Taunton, we would love for you to come and visit us and take a look around our lovely nursery, we look forward to meeting you!

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.
