Honey’s Nursery is absolutely fantastic. All the staff at Honey’s Nursery are so kind, friendly and caring. They put the needs of the child first, and that is so important and reassuring when you know your child is safe and well looked after by their day care facility. I have definitely seen my daughter
come on leaps and bounds since starting there. The nursery is in a lovely setting and the children have space both inside and outside. I would recommend Honey’s Nursery to anyone, we couldn’t be happier with our daughter being there- thank you Honey’s!

The staff are wonderful, always going above and beyond. The setting is perfect for my child who loves exploring and the outdoors. Forest School is her favourite time of the week. I cannot recommend Honeys enough. They have been an asset to the growth and development of my child.

This is a fabulous nursery with it's flexible sessions and caring, cheerful staff members. My grandson has been attending for more than a year starting with the two morning sessions and he loves every minute. He runs in. Sometimes he is reluctant to leave! The added bonus is the crafts and picnics the
children are encouraged to produce for special days - birthdays, Christmas etc. It is really quite lovely providing fresh air and learning at the same time. Thoroughly recommend.

I can not rate high enough, I have felt such positive learning from Honeys Nursery.
My son has advanced at mathematical and social skills through the lovely staff, he has truly enjoyed every day here and particularly on the days he had forest school, he has laminated pictures they sent home pot up
in his room and loves telling me all about his friends and what they did.

I first used Honeys Nursery 7 years ago for my eldest son and he loved attending there after being very unsettled at a different nursery. When deciding to start my youngest son at nursery when he was 9 months old, I didn’t hesitate on sending him to Honeys and it was lovely to see so many familiar faces
still working there. My son is now 2 and I think the variety of activities they offer is great, he loves playing in the garden and is always so happy when I drop him off and collect him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been going to Honeys Nursery since September 2021 and started when he was 10 months old. The staff have been fantastic and so supportive and helpful with my transition back to work and our new routine of work and nursery. Being a 'covid baby' I was worried about how he would settle in and
feel being away from me. He honestly loves nursery and his face lights up when we get to the door and he sees the staff. He does so many lovely activities that I wouldn't have even thought to do whilst he is so little and I have seen such a change in his confidence and development. I am so happy with our decision for him to go to Honeys, so much so that he will soon be going in an extra day a week!

Honeys Nursery is such a lovely place for my child to learn. Above all the staff are so passionate about what they do and always think of new ways to adapt and encourage her development and always keep me up to date with her progress. Massive plus, my child loves it, she happily walks in in the mornings,
loves seeing her friends and I know she’s in safe hands.

Both my neice and nephew absolutely adore going to Honey's Nursery. The staff are so friendly and engaging with the kids; and are amazing at keeping us in the loop about what's going on. They always have different and fun activities, and the kids can't wait to get out in the garden and Forest School
when they get to Nursery. I would most definitely recommend Honeys to anyone looking for professional, friendly and truly amazing care; I have no doubts that my niece and nephew are getting the best start to their educational journey and will excel when they get to big school as a result of everything the nursery has done for them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I drop off and collect my grandson a few times a week at the nursery, during which my dealings with the staff have been excellent. On arrival, no matter who's on the door, there's always a friendly welcome to make my grandson feel at ease and any requirements needed on a daily basis. My grandson certainly
benefited from being at the nursery and seeing him come out smiling, chatting merrily in his partial sentence is a joy to hear.
He's always making things and bringing home some sort of artwork. Playing in the garden facilities is a particular favourite and the observation notes give us a good update of how he's enjoying himself. A great big thank you to the management and all the staff as they are so pleasant and helpful.

My son loves going to Honeys Nursery! All of the staff are so friendly and both me and my toddler felt welcome right away. The whole team is very professional and care about getting to know the kids and parents personally in order to provide for each individual the best they can.
The nursery has great
facilities and is well equipped, and the staff do lots of great activities that are fun and encourage learning.
I would really recommend Honeys Nursery to any parent, and I’m so glad I enrolled my son, as he can never wait to go!

Honeys Nursery is amazing, both my children have attended (youngest started this year) and I cannot fault the place! Youngest currently has lots going on health and behaviour wise (she can be a handful) and the nursery team are very supportive and helpful with this unlike some other places that use
these issues against us parents. They genuinely care about the children they look after and it makes me happy knowing my children are safe and cared for.

My 3 children all attended this nursery, I can’t recommend highly enough. They were always happy to go and the staff are so amazing, always taking time to give feedback on what my children were achieving and keeping me in the loop.
The forest school is an excellent feature and the outside play area
is amazing.
All the staff are so friendly and professional and I felt they really got to know my children and brought the best out of them.

This is a lovely pre-school. The owner and her staff go above and beyond for my son who started at 12mths old and is now turning 4. They also are very accommodating to any circumstances you may have and nothing is too much trouble. I was worried about sending my son so young but he settled very quickly.
They keep you updated on their progress and the activities they take part in. I would highly recommend Honeys.

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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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:

  1. 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: ( (397 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 424 Ratings = 4.932
  2. 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 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
