My daughter joined Honeys when she turned 1, and she loves it! We had multiple allergies, wheat, dairy, soya and egg to start with and they couldn't have been more accommodating! They made sure she felt welcome and not left out and worked with us to ensure she was well catered for. Hoping for my little
boy to also join her in a few months. They really try to work with you to provide the best suited to your baby.

Fantastic nursery. Both of my boys (oldest now 10) have attended and loved the setting. Friendly supportive staff and a wonderful learning structure combining both outdoors and indoors play-based learning.

I would highly recommend this nursery my sister came here back in 2009 and she loved it, the staff were amazing. 12 years later my daughter is here with the same staff and she loves it just as much. My daughter would not settle at first but they really took their time and made her feel comfortable and
happy. Throughout the COVID-19, they have stayed in touch to see how she is doing. My daughter loves it here.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for nearly 3 years. She always goes in happy and loves to go and loves the staff. I've been told by many that she is quite advanced for her age and feel this is partly down to the nursery.

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.
