We love Honey Pot House Day Nursery. They have looked after our son whilst he has been in preschool. They have been so accommodating and helpful. We cannot thank them enough for the help they provided whilst we were potty training our son.
Our son has always been happy when attending and is really
going to miss the staff when he moves to reception.
Our baby girl is now starting nursery and will be in the baby room. The settle in sessions have been so reassuring and we know she will be well looked after and happy there.

My son has been at Honey Pot House since he was 7 months and is now leaving to go to school. He has enjoyed his time there, we believe he has been looked after well and he has developed well. His confidence has grown and communication skills have improved with Honey Pot House's support.

Amazing nursery. Really invest in the children, take time to know them and their families. Two of my children are currently in this setting and it feels like an extended family. It's not just a babysitting service but an education. Even with special educational needs, I have entrusted the care of my
children to the wonderful staff at Honeypot. They tailor to each child's needs from changing the menu for an individual child to working with outside agencies to provide support. From the management right down to the kitchen staff, each member of this setting is perfectly in sync with the children. The attention to detail with the activities planned and parent involvement shows how they go the extra mile. A welcome happy second home for any child.

Sending my daughter to Honey Pot House was the best decision me and my husband ever did. I recall my first day but the way the staff ensure you with confidence and reassurance is brilliant.
My daughter grew in confidence and we loved seeing her skills develop over time. I will truly miss seeing all
the friendly staff, honestly one of the best nurseries in the area.

Our son has been coming here from 10 months old and is about to graduate from preschool. He has thrived at the nursery, loves it and is really going to miss it. It has been a pleasure to see our son progress so well during his time here. The management and staff are amazing. They have always been very
helpful, accommodating and supportive of our needs as a family. Everyone is smiley and enthusiastic; you can tell that they really care and love all the kids.
The nursery itself is very homely with a fantastic selection of toys and activities for the children. We have been so impressed with the creativity of the staff! We are regularly updated on tapestry, including photos and also at collection time.
The food is of high quality and cooked on site by a very talented chef.
There have been lots of great events involving parents too so it feels like a community.
We highly recommend this nursery and are gutted that our baby won't be able to attend as we sadly are leaving the area.

Honey Pot House Day Nursery is a very welcoming and family-orientated nursery. The staff made me feel at ease to leave my daughter whom I'm very protective over. All my worries are heard and not put to one side. The staff go above and beyond. My daughter loves every minute she is there.

The staff at Honey Pot House Day Nursery (Shirley) are absolutely amazing they are super golden. My son had a rocky start where he didn’t want to go, he didn’t want to mix with other children which was my biggest concern. These amazing people showed him so much love and kindness and with professionalism
they changed him completely. Now he mixes with other children. Plays with them. He asks so many questions. They built his confidence so much that it’s like he’s a different child. I get a daily report on Tapestry on what activities he is been involved in and what he has eaten etc. We don’t appreciate what an amazing job these people do. I would very highly recommend Honeypot all day long.

Reply from Wendy, Childcare Manager at Honey Pot House Day Nursery (Shirley)

Thank you for your kind words, it has been a pleasure to watch your child learn and grow in confidence and we wish him every success at school.

My daughter began at Honey Pot House as my husband, and I work full time. This was a big decision for us, but the team made us feel so comfortable by providing an excellent environment for our little girl, which she loved.
All the staff were incredibly dedicated to helping her grow and master new
skills. She had great food and became less picky eating there. The curriculum was brilliant - every day, she was doing many fun and messy activities, which she loved. She had a lovely bond with the staff and happily went into nursery every day, which reduced our stress so much. It was amazing to see her grow whilst she attended, and her progress was incredible. Additionally, the nursery is so reliable and the staff easy to get hold of when necessary - I didn't realise all nurseries were not like this until we relocated to Manchester and have already had two different nurseries change her days last minute and increase prices with no notice given.
I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough!

Reply from Wendy, Childcare Manager at Honey Pot House Day Nursery (Shirley)

Thank you so much for your comments; it was our pleasure to take care of your wonderful little girl, who is still missed by all the staff. Sorry to hear you have had issues; you are always welcome back with open arms.

My daughter has just graduated from Honey Pot House Day Nursery after starting at 8 months old and she has had the most amazing care since the very start. She has had nothing but love, support and a great time there. The staff have all gone out of their way to help nourish her and help her grow into
the confident little girl she is ready for school. They have provided excellent care to the amazing activities each and every day and she always seems to be so happy there. There is nothing more they could have done for her and I am really sad to see her leave we were always made to feel like nothing was too much and like we were family. The childcare manager has been amazing every step of the way and really is a true natural at her job and this follows down to all the staff. I couldn’t recommend this nursery anymore I can guarantee your child will grow and be cared for in such a loving environment with top-quality care. Thank you girls for everything you have done for me and my family.

A great team, creating a continuous safe and fun environment for my daughter.
My daughter has allergies and I have always felt she is in a safe pair of hands when at this nursery. So much so I didn’t put her into a school nursery as the care was fantastic here.
I’ve always received efficient communication
and I’m aware of what my daughter is doing on a daily basis. And I experience first hand all the fun and educational stuff she is taught!
I love that they cook food on site, that way my daughter doesn’t miss out on a home cooked hot meal and allergies are more controllable.
The staff are fantastic from management to the lovely ladies in the nursery. Always happy and positive. Recently the nursery implemented a well-being segment I love this! Mental health is important and I love that my daughter is taught that it’s ok to talk and feel the way she does.

Well, where do I start this nursery has given our daughter everything she needs and more. My daughter has feeding issues and the nursery has been fantastic about it. The staff are wonderful, they’ve taken our daughter's needs very seriously and done everything we have asked and more, exploring different
foods dealing with sensory issues and also working with the speech and language therapist via video call. All of this has helped our daughter overcome most of her feeding issues, she eats everything at nursery now which is a massive achievement thanks to the staff at Honey Pot House. My daughter has come on so much since being there, it’s always clean and inviting and has a friendly atmosphere about it. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who’s thinking of a good and trustworthy place for their child. My daughter's key worker at nursery is brilliant always there for anything my daughter needs.

Fantastic. Great care for children, staff is friendly well prepared and kind. My daughter has always been willing to attend. The environment is clean and tidy, the food prepared is varied and nutritious. The learning is structured around free play and children's fun, with lots of creative activities
always different and which promote all aspects of education and children's development, including respect for nature and the environment. The tools used are often sustainable, lots of garden time and activities. They also promote languages such as French. Comms via Tapestry are excellent.

We absolutely love Honey Pot House Nursery. Our daughter has been coming here since she was 10 months old and absoltuly loves the staff. We are kept updated on daily activities through the app and they always have a broad variety of activities going on which has taught my daughter so much. They have
handled the current covid 19 pandemics with excellent care and kept us updated as to changes every step of the way. I already have my second daughter's name down for a place in February. Love them!

My experience has been excellent. My daughter, from the first day, settled in well. The staff were fantastic with her throughout her time at Honey Pot. The staff and management were very friendly, knowledgeable and always answered any questions I had. She developed really good social skills which have
been evident at her new school. She is a confident bright and social little girl. All thanks to Honey Pot.

Honey Pot is a fantastic establishment! They looked after my daughter and currently take care of my son in preschool. My child's confidence, attention span and relationships have grown tremendously. I feel reassured leaving him that he will be looked after well, nourished and have a lovely day of fun
activities. The staff are so friendly and I feel like they are family. A huge bonus is that all activities are recorded on tapestry and food is homecooked. The staff have gone out of their way to accommodate my son's eating habits and the facilities are excellent. All staff are long term which helps with settling.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.934) out of 10 for Honey Pot House Day Nursery (Shirley) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.845 for Honey Pot House Day Nursery (Shirley) is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.845

  • 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 4.089 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Honey Pot House Day Nursery (Shirley) is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.389

  • 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.
