We are so happy that we chose Honeys for our child’s nursery. The staff are absolutely excellent, so lovely, caring and enthusiastic about the work they do. Our son seems very happy there and we love seeing the new words and behaviours he’s learnt at nursery, as well as the bonds he has with the team.
We’ve always really appreciated the attentiveness and reassurance from the staff in ensuring our child’s needs are met. The homemade food the nursery provides is really impressive too. Thank you so much wonderful Honeys team for everything you do.

I have nothing but praise for Honeys Nursery. The staff are wonderful and they always go above and beyond. Both of my children attend Honeys and they absolutely love it. My eldest son has additional needs and the support he has received from everyone at the nursery has been fantastic and his progress
has been amazing. We receive regular observational feedback and photos of them doing different activities which is lovely. I would highly recommend Honeys to all parents looking for someone to look after their children.

Our experience with Honeys Nursery has been nothing but positive. Our son started a year and a half ago and we immediately saw improvements in his language and development. The staff are all super friendly and always happy to help. Our son absolutely loves going to Honeys. They have a great setting
with a wide variety of activities for the children, and wonderful outdoor space as well as forest school. Our daughter has just started at Honeys too, and has settled really well. As with our son, we have already seen improvements in her speech, development and independence. We have nothing but praise for Honeys and their staff and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends/family or anyone looking for a fantastic nursery that is like a second home for their child.

Wonderful nursery and preschool setting. My child attends the preschool in Bumbles Room and has made many friends there with the children and the staff. The team are always welcoming and happy to assist. I feel like my child is safe and enjoys learning there.
They include some crafts like making bird
feeders and Christmas ornaments.
There is a lovely outdoor learning space with a good mud kitchen and sheltered sand pit area.

My daughter is extremely happy at Honeys, she has been going since she was around 2 years old and is now almost 4. They are a wonderful team of extremely professional, yet very caring and loving individuals and I never feel worried or uncomfortable in their care. My daughter thrives at Honeys and always
comes home and has learnt something new! Plus they have been teaching her numbers and letters and she is now very confident with them.

The staff at Honeys are all so amazing. My little one took months to settle in but they kept me updated and I was at ease dropping my little one into school. He now loves it and walks in on his own. I have nothing but good things to say about Honeys and I will recommend Honeys to anyone within the local
area. My son is thriving and I love getting his observations they send via the app they use and they have helped my son in so many ways.

They have been so incredible during a hard family time and can't recommend them enough.
My son also has a dairy allergy and they have been very stringent in making sure he gets the correct foods and being extra safe to ensure his safety.

Amazing, can’t fault Honeys at all! My little boy has been attending for getting on to two years and he absolutely loves it!
Staff are amazing with him as well as super friendly on drop off and pick up, any concerns or issues they have they raise with me in a professional kind manner.
100% recommend
this nursery to anyone who is in need, the link to the local primary school makes it even better for when my little one heads off to school.

I have nothing but praise for Honeys. All of the staff that work there and look after my daughter have such a great attitude and you can tell they build amazing friendships with the children. We get daily updates, regular observational feedback and their outdoor space means the children get to play
in all sorts of environments safely, all year round. They've undertaken seasonal activities with the children and my daughter has brought home lovely little crafts and creations. I have no reservations recommending Honeys to all parents seeking someone to look after their children. We love it.

Have loved sending my daughter to Honeys such a lovely setting inside and out all the staff are great it has made us leave her all day so easily knowing she is in a safe secure and caring environment. They do such fun activities with the children and also prepare them well for school. My daughter really
has had the best time at Honeys.

My son has attended Honeys Nursery for two years now and has just come to the end of term ready to start big school (sob!) I have always felt he was in safe hands. The staff are lovely, shout out to his two key persons for looking out for my boy. The setting is lovely, especially the large outdoor area
where they spend loads of time in sandpits, mud kitchens, planting, getting super messy, and having a lovely time exploring and just being kids. I highly recommend Honeys and my daughter will be attending when she turns 2.

Kind and caring staff that are always happy to help. Excellent space indoors and out with a great variety of toys and activities. The opening hours make life a little easier as they offer a wide range. Including all day. My daughter has made amazing progress with their speech and development since starting.
Would highly recommend.

The team are so supportive and great, I can't fault them, the owner and the manager go above and beyond and I have happy children who attend Honeys Nursery. Their own development has been brilliant, I was worried about my child's speech development but in no time having joined he was talking! The children
learn things in a fun environment and there's such a variety there for them to do, they do not get bored! I enjoy hearing the stories of what they have done and in addition to receiving photos of them in their activities, which is a bonus!

Honey’s Nursery is absolutely fantastic. All the staff at Honey’s Nursery are so kind, friendly and caring. They put the needs of the child first, and that is so important and reassuring when you know your child is safe and well looked after by their day care facility. I have definitely seen my daughter
come on leaps and bounds since starting there. The nursery is in a lovely setting and the children have space both inside and outside. I would recommend Honey’s Nursery to anyone, we couldn’t be happier with our daughter being there- thank you Honey’s!

The staff are wonderful, always going above and beyond. The setting is perfect for my child who loves exploring and the outdoors. Forest School is her favourite time of the week. I cannot recommend Honeys enough. They have been an asset to the growth and development of my child.

This is a fabulous nursery with it's flexible sessions and caring, cheerful staff members. My grandson has been attending for more than a year starting with the two morning sessions and he loves every minute. He runs in. Sometimes he is reluctant to leave! The added bonus is the crafts and picnics the
children are encouraged to produce for special days - birthdays, Christmas etc. It is really quite lovely providing fresh air and learning at the same time. Thoroughly recommend.

My eldest child attends the setting for breakfast and after school club and really enjoys these.
My youngest attends the nursery full time and is absolutely flourishing. The staff attend to his needs and his huge appetite! He is constantly and consistently learning and incredibly happy.

I can not rate high enough, I have felt such positive learning from Honeys Nursery.
My son has advanced at mathematical and social skills through the lovely staff, he has truly enjoyed every day here and particularly on the days he had forest school, he has laminated pictures they sent home pot up
in his room and loves telling me all about his friends and what they did.

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.
