About the Nursery

Tops Wareham Nursery is a 47-place day nursery and preschool in the heart of Wareham, providing Early Education and Care for children aged 3 months to preschool. We offer a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where children are supported to learn, play, and grow at their own pace.

Located close to Wareham Forest and the Jurassic Coast, children enjoy regular outdoor learning experiences that reconnect them with nature. Our carefully planned environments are shaped around children’s interests, with themed rooms and garden spaces that encourage imagination, exploration, and fun. Other activities include cooking school, Boogie Mites, yoga, football fun, and tooth brushing, supporting confident, independent learners through play-based learning.
