Our son started at Honey Pot House 3 years ago when he was 11 months old. We have always been so pleased with the care, love and support the staff - from nursery nurses to management - have shown him and us. The staff really get to know the children and make the transition into nursery and moving rooms
easy. They provide a wonderful range of activities and learning experiences and can always offer help, suggestions and support to parents. They have helped develop our son's confidence and we would highly recommend them.

Our daughter really enjoys going to nursery here. She looks forward to it on days she's not there and always comes home happy. We are very happy with the nursery too. The staff are wonderful, the activities are fun and engaging and the food is varied and of high quality.
We know that our daughter
is in a safe and loving place when she's at nursery.

Honey Pot have been fantastic throughout my daughter's experience there. She has come on leaps and bounds and that is thanks to the love, care and encouragement she receives from all the staff. I feel so happy leaving my daughter in such great hands.

I am extremely happy with the standard of care and learning my daughter receives from Honey Pot House. The staff are amazing with her and she feels very comfortable with them. They have also taught her so much, including potty training. Which I am so grateful for. I can see the difference in my daughter
from her time in nursery - her vocabulary, her knowledge and I also really enjoy that the nursery offers French classes too. The manager has always been very accommodating and quick to respond to communication. Whilst there isn't lots of outdoor space give the location and property type, the space they do have is well used and mu daughter enjoys outdoor activity time. The online Tapestry updates are great and it's lovely to see pictures and what she gets up to.

Honestly, I couldn't have found a better nursery for my kids. My youngest just started at the nursery and he has already settled in which I was surprised how quickly it took him. The staff have been so helpful and made the settling process easy for him. I love the nursery, especially the staff coming
into the nursery is like leaving my house and going into another home. The kids feel loved and cared for during the day. They miss nursery when they are not there. I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking for one in the area. The management team are also very understanding.

My little one has been going to Honey Pot House since he was just under 1 years old. He is now in pre-school. I absolutely love Honey Pot House and feel we made the best choice by sending him here even though I doubted myself in the beginning. I now wish my 1st child also came here. The owner, managers
and all the lovely ladies that work there are amazing. I have no words for their enthusiasm and passion. I see them at 8:30 am and again at 5:50 pm when I collect my little one and they are still smiling with joy - this gives me satisfaction! My little one is very content and enjoys nursery.

We have used Honey Pot Nursery for both of our children. Our son first went there from 9 months through to 3 years old and really enjoyed it. He learnt lots, and they always had lots of themed activities to do on a daily basis. The staff are obviously happy there, as all the same team are there 4 years
later when our daughter started. The food is cooked on-site and is of an excellent standard. I feel as though our children are in safe hands every day and that peace of mind whilst we are at work.

We are extremely pleased with the care that our children have and continue to receive, whilst attending Honey Pot House. They have each attended from the age of 8-months. Our eldest child attended another nursery, but when we started at Honey Pot, we immediately saw a massive difference.
The staff
are friendly and welcoming, and are very supportive of children’s development, for example, potty training. Daily feedback is online, in the form of a care diary and also in observations of their activities, which all seem lovely and well thought out.
The management is very approachable and knows all of the children, and the ethos of the nursery is very family orientated. The children are always happy to go in.
We will be very sad when our time with them comes to an end; thank you Honey Pot House!

My daughter has been attending Honeypot House Day nursery for over a year now. From my first visit to the nursery, I was impressed with the professionalism and caring nature of every staff member I encountered. Since my daughter has been at the nursery she has moved rooms twice in line with her developmental
stage. Every member of staff in both rooms she has been in have provided my daughter with fantastic care. My daughter loves attending nursery and I enjoy the regular updates via their online portal to see how she is getting on. The senior leadership of the nursery are very approachable and child-centred. I am so happy I made the decision to send my daughter to this nursery.

My daughter loves to go to nursery each morning and is always happy when we collect her. We get updates on what she has been doing throughout the day along with photos and descriptions of what she’s learning. The staff are so friendly and really care about the children. I would definitely recommend
Honeypots to anyone looking for somewhere for their children!

Our 2-year old daughter has thoroughly enjoyed Honey Pot House Day Nursery since the age of 13 months. All the staff are very caring and provide a fantastic service to the children, as well as assure the parents too with updates verbally and via Tapestry.
The Management do a fantastic job in managing
the overall activities running the Nursery. They are contactable via email and phone and know all the children by name too. Our daughter has moved between class/groups as she has grown older, and we have noticed a massive improvement in her development since joining Nursery.
There are various activities conducted throughout each day and these are updated via the Tapestry online platform, which is great to read. Photos are also uploaded too.
During lockdown (when the nursery was closed), the Nursery staff kindly uploaded videos and tasks that we could carry out at home.
Absolutely brilliant Nursery, and looking forward to enrolling our 2nd child soon.

My Son has been attending Honey Pot since aged 9 months. He has grown and developed incredibly during his time there. The staff are amazing and he loves going every day. The staff cannot do enough for him and are always willing to listen and help any way they can. Having had a child in other nurseries
I can really notice the difference in how amazing Honey Pot is in comparison with other nurseries in the area. The management team are exceptional and all the staff are always smiling happy and willing to take any recommendations on board. Honestly, they are like an extended family for my Son. Cannot recommend the nursery enough. I’m just sad that my son will be leaving next September to go to reception! Wish they had a follow on school!!!

If you are looking for 'home away from home' Nursery environment where they are well cared for and nurtured according to their individual personalities and needs, then please have a show-round at this fantastic 'OFSTED Outstanding' Nursery. It's a lovely size, where children don't get forgotten about
or left behind. It's a safe, friendly and welcoming nursery that my 2 sons look forward to attending each week. From the moment I had the show-round (Summer of 2019), by the Child Care ManageR, I could sense and feel that this setting would be right for my boys, aged 2 and 3. They had been in a previous (Inadequate nursery - with significant safeguarding concerns), but Honey Pot House Nursery firmly have their eye on the children, their wellbeing and safeguarding. Staff genuinely care about the children and are so passionate about what they do. My boys were assigned a Keyworker on day one and have already bonded with them, and have made fantastic progress in approximately 2 months. They are stimulated and loved and have fun each day, in a great learning environment. I leave my sons there and feel rest assured that they are safe and enjoy their time spent there. I can call up any time for feedback and there is also CCTV in and outside of the premises. Entry to the Nursery is tightly scrutinized, again further peace of mind. I cannot praise this Nursery enough, it is such an important choice which pre-school setting/Nursery your child goes to, they truly are outstanding, they work so hard with the children and are sincere. The staff ensure there are engaging activities on a daily basis, and that my boys are happy! They have a strong and stable staff and management team that I feel is key to their success, with an open door policy. They use the Tapestry app - so you can see daily what your child has been up to, (activities), what they have eaten, when they have slept (if applicable) and toilet times taken etc. Their onsite cook/chef also ensures a high quality and healthy food menu that is varied daily and with ample fruit and veg, each day the dry board has the menu on. My boys can ask for seconds too, which demonstrates to me how happy and contented they are there, especially my eldest who has been a picky little eater, up until attending Honey Pot House Nursery. Well done Hone Pot House Nursery, please keep up your fantastic work and dedication to the little ones entrusted in your daily care.

Excellent management, helped me to utilise free hours to best suit us. Flexible when needed to change days and very good communication by email, newsletters, tapestry and in person. My son had problems at a previous nursery and I felt Honeypot helped him frow in confidence so much whilst reassuring
me and updating me with his progress. Staff are friendly and fun and clearly have a great rapport with all the kids. Homecooked, healthy, varied meals each day has also helped him try new things at home. Activities are diverse and have definitely helped with all elements of my son's development. A massive thank you to all at the nursery for getting him ready for school!

My son has blossomed since starting here 4 weeks ago. His vocabulary, concentration and behaviour are markedly better. Having been with another nursery since a baby I was nervous about changing but it was the best decision I could have made. My son was happy and settled within a week. The staff are
amazing and I cannot praise the nursery enough.

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.
