My daughter has been going to honey's since she was a 12 months old she is now nearly 3. She absolutely loves it. She often talks about the staff that work there. I found they have really taken their time to get to know her. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting. She comes out with
new things she has learnt everyday! The activities are always different. She loves the big garden space they have and also the forest school. She likes all the meals. Can't fault anything! So glad she is attending their.

Our daughter has been attending Honeys Nursery for two years now and we have always been really happy about it. The staff are clearly hardworking, friendly, professional and passionate about their jobs and have wonderful relationships with the children that go there. Our son is due to attend Honeys
in September and we are confident that this will be the perfect place for him, as our experience of Honeys has always been positive and supportive. The staff are always there to answer any questions we may have. Our daughter absolutely loves it there and always looks forward to being welcomed by kind, open arms of the staffing team.


We would and have recommended Honeys Nursery for anyone looking to put their children into a trusting, loving nursery/preschool.

We are very happy with the preschool that our child attends. They're excited to go every day and they're always greated with a warm welcome by the staff in the morning. Our child leaves daily as happy as she arrived after having had a jam packed day of learning through play. The preschool is really
consistent
with keeping us updated with what they have got up to each day with an online diary and photos so it helps us engage with them about what they've done and we can have good conversation flow. A much loved preschool for the local area with a lovely atmosphere and staff.

Finding a great nursery is a worry. As a grandparent (and ex Headteacher), I really care about my grandchildren & helped Mum and Dad find an amazing, loving setting for their care, enjoyment and learning- we really were lucky to find Honeys!
Staff love your child for who they are. Honeys help children
of all ages feel safe and secure and loved. To be welcomed with a delighted smile by staff and other children is reassuring for all. Children are happy to be at Honeys.
The staff (& other partners) take real care to plan a wide range of engaging activities helping children to develop in line with national expectations. They are well supported and thrive inside & out - our grandchild has a fantastic vocabulary, great imagination and a keen interest in numbers, letters, writing & counting. Learning & playing is joyful with staff & friends. Getting strong & enjoying nature is great too.
Honeys has helped with some tricky health care plans and always listens & shares with messages & photos.

Honey's is truly an outstanding place where children are nurtured, educated, and loved. The staff go above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Their genuine care is evident in every interaction, fostering strong emotional bonds and
helping children build confidence. What sets Honey's apart is their unwavering commitment to helping children thrive. They focus not only on providing a loving and fun space but also on encouraging education and personal growth. The staff are attentive to each child's individual needs, ensuring they receive the right support to develop both academically and socially. It's amazing to see how much progress the children make, all while having fun and building confidence. Honey's is more than just childcare-it's a community where children flourish. If you're looking for a loving, supportive, and educational environment, this nursery is the perfect place.

My daughter attends this nursery and absolutely loves it. The environment is so nurturing for little ones. They have an amazing healthy menu and snack policy so they are getting the best every day. The garden area is full of nature and outside play is encouraged. It's an all-year-round facility so it's
brilliant for me while I work. The team are lovely some of them have been there since my now 17-year-old daughter attended many years ago. I can't recommend this nursery enough! 10 stars from me.

Our 2 year old daughter has been attending Honeys twice a week since September 2024. From the start we have been so impressed with the nursery, our daughter even talks about wanting to go on her days off. The staff are so friendly and caring and our daughter adores them. They've bonded so well with
her that it puts our minds at ease knowing she is so looked after. The staff are also well trained therefore we know she is in the safest hands. We often get updates on the variety of activities which our daughter has taken part in, all of which focus on different personal development categories. She is thriving and has gained so much confidence in her first 4 months! We cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Very friendly, supportive staff. My son has found it difficult to settle when going in but the staff have really supported him. He now seems to love it and has been asking to go back over the holidays.

Both my children currently attend Honeys Nursey and they have done since we moved to the area nearly four years ago. The eldest now attends before and afterschool.
I work in education and I couldn't be happier with the experience my children receive at Honeys. All the staff know who you are and everything
about your children. It feels like a family as opposed a 'service' like many of the large chain establishments.
Can't recommend Honeys higher!! Amazing team!

My son really enjoyed his time at Honeys and the staff are friendly and attentive to the children's needs. Really couldn't fault them. The staff have all been there a long time and they are very imaginative with different activities for the children. My son really enjoyed the forest school and the garden
area has so many different sections with lots going on.

Our daughter loves going to Honeys. The staff are so kind and thoughtful. They have really taken the time to get to know her and because so many of the staff have been there for a long time there's a lot of continuity which is great. She started going when she was 1 and they were great with her when
she was tiny. She loves all the different activities they have planned and has developed so much since starting there. I can't recommend Honeys highly enough, such a lovely team.

Delighted with our experience with Honeys Nursery so far - our 1-year-old started at 9 months and loved it from day one. All of the staff are friendly, welcoming and interested in the kids. We feel relaxed leaving her in their care and the updates we receive throughout the day are thoughtful, providing
peace of mind.

Our daughter has been going for the last two years and has really enjoyed her time at Honey's. She loves the forest school and the sensory activities and she has really developed her social skills. Most importantly for us, she always comes out happy. She has made lots of friends. The teachers are all
very friendly and we have regular updates on how our daughter is progressing. Our son will be going after Easter and we are sure he will enjoy it just as much.

Our experience with Honeys Nursery has been excellent and very comforting. My child has been constantly learning new things and demonstrating the same at home. The staff is friendly and flexible when it comes to amendments and schedule changes. The nursery has an excellent indoor setting and large outdoor
area. Overall I am very satisfied with the mental and physical development of my child whilst at Honeys Nursery. We'd highly recommend everyone sending their kids to Honeys.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Honeys Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.932 for Honeys Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (373 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 398 Ratings = 4.932

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Honeys Nursery is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
