Welcome to Tops Day Nurseries: Poole Nursery, Dorset
With the location of our Poole day nursery & preschool, we are in a busy community and have strong links in our surrounding areas. We also have the luxury of being close to the beaches and glorious countryside. This enables us to have a wide variety of activities and experiences for the children to enjoy.
We follow the children’s interests and follow these into the community to give the children a sense of belonging and ownership for looking after the environment that we live in.
We develop the children’s independence as much as possible and listen to their point of view and ideas of how they want their nursery to look and what activities they want to do. In preschool we have a children’s council that allows the children the time to discuss matters that are important to them. They have a say on if they want to change the layout of the room and what role-plays etc they would like as well as a choice of new resources.
One of our benefits for parents is that we offer flexible childcare to the nearest 15 minutes, meaning you really do only pay for the hours you need. This is just one of the factors that makes us different to most other nurseries in Poole.
This nursery 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.
We’d love for you to come and see us! You can arrange your visit using the form below.
Our Poole day nursery is one of the five childcare settings within the Tops Day Nurseries family to be based in the Poole and Wimborne area, including Tops Corfe Mullen on Blandford Road, Tops Parkstone in Rossmore, Tops Wareham next to the train station and Tops Wimborne on Leigh Road.

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.
