Cannot recommend this Nursery enough.
Staff go the extra mile all the time, are really friendly, and genuinely care about all of the children,
The app is brilliant for us parents to know what our children are up to, and how much they have slept/eaten.
A brilliant nursery no complaints at all.

My daughter is nearly 2 years old and has been attending Hunny Hive Nursery since she was 13 months old.
As a first-time mum, I was a bit anxious at the start but I must say that it was definitely a wise decision to register my daughter here.
My daughter settled in nicely after a few weeks and it
has been a breeze since then.
The teachers and manager have been absolutely amazing. They are very attentive and responsive to our needs.
It does feel like a home away from home and my daughter loves it here.
Our experience so far has been truly wholesome.
I'm one happy mum!

I highly recommend this nursery. My son first attended the setting from 2019 until he was old enough to go to school. It was such a great nursery that when I had my 2nd child, I enrolled my daughter as soon as she was born. The team are brilliant - accommodating, kind and supportive. I'm trying to potty
train my daughter atm and I mentioned it to the staff who have also been encouraging with my child to sit in the potty/toilet.
I receive regular updates throughout the whole day with pictures of what she's been up to which I absolutely love to see. I like how it's a structured day where the children get a lot of reading time, music and play time. My daughter comes home and sings the songs she has learnt and has picked up many new words very quickly.
I completely trust the staff and I know that my daughter is safe and well looked after. Big thanks to the team and a huge shout out to the manager and her staff in each of the rooms keeping these little bees on their toes!

From day one bringing my son into the nursery, the staff have been welcoming, informative and caring. My son wants to come in to nursery everyday, the weekly activities are educational and fun to keep the children entertained whilst teaching them new skills. As a new parent it is so hard to trust people
to take care of your children, but I would happily bring my next child to this nursery as the experience has been nothing but brilliant. Thank you for taking such good care of my son, as if he was your own!

My son with additional needs attends Hunny Hive Nursery and all the staff that work with him go above and beyond to help not only him but myself as well. They make sure he's getting all the help he needs in and out of the nursery. All the staff are so kind and helpful. They offer amazing food options
and meet my son's dietary requirements. They adapt every part of the day so my son doesn't miss out on a thing but also so the other child is not affected by his additional needs. I couldn't be happier and wouldn't send him anywhere else.

The best nursery experience we could have wished for! We have heard so many horror stories about nurseries recently and Hunny Hive absolutely reassured us and continues to impress us. Our little boy is 25 months and has been attending since he was 9 months old - it took him a long time to settle in
but the nursery were in frequent communication with us and helped us with that difficult settling-in period. They have continued with the great communication through the app and also on collection. We will be sending our second child to Hunny Hive when I complete my maternity leave as we have had the most incredible experience! Thank you so much Hunny Hive.

My eldest and youngest daughters both have been to Hunny Hive Birstall, and they both have had an excellent experience with the staff and children who attend the nursery, we would highly recommend the nursery has a great app to keep you informed about how your child is doing throughout the day and showcase
what they are learning. My eldest daughter is in reception and she is very confident and I feel this is due to the nursery staff and the learning they provide for them to have the skills for reception.

Hunny Hive is absolutely wonderful. Both our children have been going for holiday clubs. I will have to say it's the happiest they have ever been compared to all the previous nurseries. They are very well looked after. The staff is absolutely amazing. Very caring and understanding. Also the activities
they plan for children is really well thought and planned. We will be staying with Hunny Hive for a long period.

Our son has attended the setting since he was 11 months old, he is now nearly 3. He goes 2 days a week and when it's the night before his day he tells me at bedtime everyone he will see the next day and how much he loves to go. The development we have seen in him is great and the support through potty
training and sleep issues was so welcome and helpful in working together to get him there in his own time. We chose Hunny Hive as when we went to view this and 3 other nurseries this one had a nice atmosphere and felt warm and welcoming. Highly recommend.

I am so glad that we chose Hunny Hives! My daughter has been attending since she was 10 months old and absolutely loves it! Working in a school I work long hours during term time, and it is such a relief to know that my daughter is being looked after so brilliantly. The staff are all so friendly and
welcoming and my daughter absolutely adores them. The setting itself is immaculate and always so clean. The communication from the nursery to parents is brilliant. It is nice to see pictures on the app of what my daughter has been up to and to hear what she has eaten. The learning activities are all planned out and really thought about to support the children's development. I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

This nursery is just a dream. From first impressions on my show around I knew it was the one, the environment is so spacious, clean and welcoming and not to mention their amazing garden. The information I received from the nursery right from the very beginning was brilliant and explained clearly so
that I could understand, whereas other nurseries had made things complicated. Our settling-in sessions went really well and we got to meet our key worker who was lovely and very chatty but most importantly took the time to get to know our child. Now my child has been going for two months and we love it even more. The setting communicates with us daily via an app so we know exactly how our child is getting on while we are at work, the activities look amazing - every morning I even want to stay. I genuinely feel like all the staff care and want to be there which is so important to us when we are leaving our child there all day. I have no doubt we have made the best decision by choosing The Hunny Hive Day Nursery, Birstall.

This new nursery is fantastic. My show around was amazing and the management and staff team made me feel really at ease. The nursery environment is clean, bright and exactly the place I would want to leave my little girl. I registered my little girl in November and she has been going 3 days a week since.
She loves going to nursery and cried when she has to come home. All the staff are so passionate about their jobs and I feel 100% confident leaving my little girl in there care. I would personally RECOMMEND this nursery to anyone as I had been to look round a few before making my decision.

I am SO glad that we found this nursery! As a childcare professional myself, I work long hours in term time, and it is such a relief to know that my daughter is being looked after so brilliantly. The setting itself is bright, cheerful and immaculately clean. The learning activities are clear and really
carefully planned and targeted to the children's needs and interests. Communication with parents is extremely good. All of the staff are welcoming, professional and friendly, and know my child and her individual stage of development very well. My daughter adores the staff and wants to join in with all the activities, and gets excited when we arrive in the morning! We couldn't ask for anything more.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.512)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.512) out of 10 for The Hunny Hive Day Nursery, Birstall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.962 for The Hunny Hive Day Nursery, Birstall is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.962

  • 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 4.55 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Hunny Hive Day Nursery, Birstall is based on 11 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.55

  • 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.
