Tops Day Nurseries in Havant has received a Good Ofsted following its recent inspection

Tops Day Nurseries, located in Stockheath Lane, Havant, has received a good Ofsted rating following its inspection which took place on November 23, 2023.

The inspection found that the nursery is a setting where ‘children feel safe and secure with their trusted adults’ and staff will provide children with reassurance if they are unsettled.

The Ofsted report said: “Children are keen to learn and they enjoy taking part in activities that capture their interests. For example, they eagerly take part in music and movement activities. Staff teach children to effectively manage risks in their play.

"Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities have their needs met well. The special educational needs and disabilities coordinator ensures that staff provide children with the environment they need to succeed.”
