At Tops Parkstone we pride ourselves on having a personal, friendly approach towards all our children and parents who come to our nursery. Through working in partnership with parents and carers we can work together to enable children to reach their potential in their learning and development.

We are very lucky to be situated near Bourne Valley Nature Reserve which allows our children to experience the outdoors as much as possible by taking part in regular trips and Tops Forest School sessions.

We are very lucky to have a large garden which is split into two, one for preschool and one for the under three’s, we have a wide range of different areas in the garden including a large mud kitchen, construction area.

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, reuse and recycle resources is an important part of the culture and routine for the children and staff.

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.

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 Parkstone 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!

Our Parkstone day nursery is one of the five Early Education and Care settings within the Tops Day Nurseries family to be based in the Poole area, including Tops Corfe Mullen on Blandford Road, Tops Poole next to Barclays House, Tops Wareham next to the Train Station and Tops Wimborne on Leigh Road.

We are delighted to announced the exchange of a property in Bearwood, Bournemouth that we hope to convert into a new day nursery for children between 3 months – 4, as well as an afterschool and holiday club for primary school aged children. Click here to find out more.
