My son started at Honey's just before he turned 3 years old. We moved house and he also changed from a childminder to Honey's all in the same week. The staff were so patient and caring throughout the adjustment. They helped him settle into a new routine for which I cannot thank them enough for.
They
offer so many activities and have a fabulous garden for the children. My son is always talking about the staff and the friends his made at Honeys. I am so happy he has been able to go there, I highly recommend Honey's.

My Son has attended Honey's since he was 1, he is 3 and a half now, he has attended 3 days a week- I have always had peace of mind when he goes there to know he is very well looked after and will always be doing something fun and interesting, the staff are extremely loving and caring! We have never
had a single issue at all, My Son is always cared for and comes home happy with lots to talk about! My Son Loves spending time with the staff. He says he enjoys playing games and having fun with them, He loves going to another member of staff for stories and cuddles. The manager is always there to support parents when ever needed. I would definitely recommend Honeys!

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.

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!

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.936 for Honeys Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (397 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 422 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 36 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 36 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.
