My wife and I love Hunny Hive... Our daughter and son both attend, my daughter is now in her 4th year and final year and our son has just started 3 months ago. They love the staff, the activities, the food and the lovely atmosphere there is at Hunny Hive. I can speak highly enough of the staff and the
passion and commitment they all have with every child. You can tell a huge difference in both our children after each day, learning and taking part in the wide range of activities on offer. Overall 5 stars. Well done.

We love Hunny Hive Kibworth! Every member of staff I have ever come across there has been friendly and professional but most importantly so kind and caring towards our little boy. They go out of their way to personalise the care they provide.

Our son absolutely loves it at The Honey Hive in Kibworth. He often doesn't want to come home! He has transitioned through the stages, really well from starting at 9 months old to being a fully-fledged toddler now aged 2. The setting offers varied, hands-on activities, healthy meals and a dedicated
key person who is always on hand. The setting itself is spacious with a lovely outdoor space alongside age-appropriate rooms with plenty for little ones to explore. The app they use is fantastic and we receive daily updates and photos of our child. We are now beginning toilet training and the nursery has been very supportive with this, offering advice and encouraging our son while he is with them. They host regular out-of-hours events such as Easter Egg hunts and Halloween parties and the environment and staff are lovely. I would highly recommend The Honey Hive, we viewed multiple nurseries at the time and were both blown away by the standards they uphold.

My child settled into this nursery setting with such ease, which has been wonderful considering he did struggle at his previous nursery. The staff in the toddler room are fantastic. Feedback everyday is detailed and they really take on board any information I shared.

Great experience for us and our son. Kind, genuine and competent staff, who go the extra mile to care and tend to the daily needs of our son.
I leave the door each morning after drop off and feel at ease knowing my son would have had a safe and activity fun day, with regular app updates.

We have sent our children here and they've both had a wonderful experience. The staff are lovely and very child focused. They take the time to get to know each child and make an effort to make them feel welcome and special. They do a variety of activities as well as additional celebrations; Christmas/Easter/
Halloween/graduation. The before and after school provision is amazing and really helped my son transition to school. He has also enjoyed the holiday clubs.
Would 100% recommend this nursery to others.

We are new to the area and really wanted to get our son into nursery before his baby brother arrived. The Hunny Hive has been so amazing and supportive to us and our son. He has really settled in well considering he's been going through a lot of change with moving house and a new baby brother to look
after he's really come a long way. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and really put our minds at ease with how well he is cared for. We love that we get regular updates about his day and pictures of all the fun things he does throughout, The activities look great fun and he has learnt so much in such a short space of time.

Our first born joined Hunny Hive just over a year ago after moving to the area. As he was already settled in a different nursery, we were worried how he might handle the transition but the staff at Hunny Hive were fab, really welcoming, friendly and quick to get to know our boy. He loved his time in
the toddler room and it was so lovely to see his confidence grow as a result of the staff working with him. He's recently moved into the pre-school room and is continuing to thrive. One of my favourite things about the nursery is how well all staff know the children, there's some members of staff who we've not met but they still know our little one from seeing him around which shows how caring the staff are. We also really appreciate the potty training workshops that the nursery host and how they arranged a first-aid training session.

My little boy has attended this nursery since June and is absolutely loving it. The staff members are friendly, kind and polite and I have always felt at ease leaving him in their care. They have a great online portal where they update you throughout the day in regards to what your child has been up
to, what they have eaten, their sleep etc. I couldn't recommend this setting enough!

Our son has been at this nursery for over a year and it has been amazing. The staff all know his name and he seems to really enjoy his time there. He has also learned some sign language which is very impressive as he's not yet able to speak very clearly.

Our son attended this nursery from 14 months old and has recently left for school.
He loved his time there and made some lovely relationships with the key workers. I always felt kept up to date with his daily activities and progress.
Any questions or concerns were answered in a professional and friendly
way, always prioritising the children.
I would highly recommend The Hunny Bee!

My nephew has been attending The Hunny Hive Day Nursery for a few months now and I am so impressed with the care and attention that the staff give to all of the children. They have made us feel so welcome and my nephew goes into the setting with a big smile on his face every day! We looked around several
settings and The Hunny Hive Day Nursery's environment outshines the rest.

My son recently started at The Hunny Hive, we are so happy with how well he has settled in!
All of the staff are very welcoming and really did put me at ease when he first started.
I like how informative the nursery is and they keep me up to date with how his day has been and what he has learnt.
I
was worried about him starting a nursery at such a young age but he has learnt so much and the activities look like great fun.
Overall, we are really happy with the nursery and couldn't recommend them enough. I know he is well cared for and safe at nursery and has made some lovely friendships.

After searching the area for a nursery for my son, I am so happy that we found the Hunny Hive. Just being shown around the nursery, I was happy with what I had seen and was made to feel at home. My son has settled really well and is so happy. I can see why they have been awarded Outstanding by Ofsted.

I have been looking around nurseries in the local area for my daughter to start and I found that the Hunny Hive in Kibworth was by far the friendliest and informative one that I visited. I instantly felt at ease and comfortable when talking to the manager as she showed me around this delightful nursery.
What could have been a daunting time for me is now something myself and my daughter will be looking forward to.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.444)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.444) out of 10 for The Hunny Hive Day Nursery, Kibworth 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.819 for The Hunny Hive Day Nursery, Kibworth is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.819

  • 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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Hunny Hive Day Nursery, Kibworth is based on 12 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.625

  • 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.
