The whole Honeytree team are doing a brilliant job during this tough time for those who are at nursery, and for even those at home. The nursery didn't charge for kids not attending at this time, and even then they are sharing different ideas of activities kids can do at home. All these efforts are much
appreciated. My child is missing nursery and his friends. I hope he gets to meet you all soon in a safe environment.

Honeytree Day Nursery has been apart of our lives since 2013 when our first child was born; our second child started in September 2019. The nursery works well with the smallest of babies to help them strive to their full potential. The staff are very lovely and professional towards the children, offering
flexibility and warmth.

Lovely setting and amazing staff, the only nursery I fully trust with looking after our toddler.
Very switched on even now during the pandemic, with keeping in touch, sending an email with activities we can do together at home etc., lots of common sense when it comes to fees at this time compared
to other places. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for daycare for their babies/children.

My son has been at the Honeytree for just under a year now and we couldn’t have picked a better Nursery for him to attend. The staff are absolutely lovely and we always pick him up with a massive smile on his face. Being at the Honeytree has really sped up his development and I think his favourite part
of being at Nursery is the wide variety of yummy food.

My twin boys have been at Honeytree for 2 1/2 years and have flourished with the focused and real nurture they have been offered.
The staff are approachable and know the boys well which give me complete peace of mind.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's a fantastic nursery, when I came for a show around, the staff were friendly, everything was clean and tidy and you could tell kids love it here. So I decided to choose Honeytree. My son (now 16 months, went to the nursery at 11 months) settled in very quickly and is developing new skills every
day (counting, saying new words, helping with cleaning up, etc.) The staff always engage the kids in fun and educational activities - painting, drawing, sensory play, singing, dancing, playing outdoors in the beautiful playground. I highly recommend it!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Our child always has a great time when he is in their care, I have no concerns about his well being and you can see he's learning all the time too. The new playground is fab. Food is prepared fresh on site so all in all we are very happy.

My daughter had a really good time at the nursery. The staff were very good in their care. Good handover at the end of the day. As parent's we were informed of every change throughout. The building work was handled very, well there wasn't much disruption which was really assuring as a parent. My daughter
will really miss the nursery and all the lovely staff.

The nursery is a warm and welcoming in terms of setting and staff. It offers a secure and nurturing environment for children. The management team are hard working, caring and always striving to make use of resources outside of the nursery setting to improve the way they work internally. Children are
happy and thrive right up until leaving for school, and recently the nursery have really engaged with the important transition between nursery and school, offering school readiness sessions for the children. As a parent, I am warmly welcomed, my ideas/questions/concerns for myself and on behalf of other parents been addressed with careful consideration and promptly. The nursery have regular sessions encouraging parents to get involved with nursery life and providing important feedback. It supports and encourages the continued learning of the staff having huge benefits for the children as well in that the staff are always trying to achieve and better themselves in their jobs and careers.

My child loves attending Honeytree and enjoys the caring environment created by all the staff. I feel well informed by monthly newsletters sent out by email. The children have good access to the outside but it would be nice to have some more physical play equipment, for some of the active ones. I am
unsure how much access the children have to ICT, maybe an interactive whiteboard would be nice. The children have started cooking activities which my child loves to participate in. My child's learning diary is kept up to date and is full of interesting and informative observations, with pictures and art work created during his time in nursery.

I am happy with the quality of care and learning the nursery provides. I have worked in the nursery for 7 years and had three babies which all attended at 9 months. I feel that the staff give me positive feedback and especially with my baby (11 months) as he has complex needs. Also to date more multicultural
activities are recognised and acted upon and training available for staff!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Treehouse Nursery School 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.906 for Treehouse Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.906
  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 4.851 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Treehouse Nursery School is based on 16 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.851
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2024

Hello, my name is Lorraine Doyle and I joined Storal in 2024. My journey as an Early Years Manager here has been incredibly rewarding, filled with opportunities to grow both professionally and personally. From the moment I arrived, my focus has been on creating a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to learn.


I’m really proud of how I’ve been able to strengthen our educational provision by embedding Storal’s fantastic curriculum into our daily practice. I’ve worked closely with the team to refresh our planning and observation systems, making sure everything we do is child-led and tailored to each child’s individual interests and developmental needs. It’s such a privilege to watch the children flourish and see the positive impact of our work every day.


Supporting and developing my team is something I care deeply about. I love helping practitioners build their confidence and seeing them feel proud of the progress their children make. There’s nothing better than witnessing those special moments between staff and children when learning truly comes to life.


I’m also passionate about building strong relationships with our families and creating a real sense of community within our setting. Whether it’s through family events, stay-and-play sessions, or community projects, it’s wonderful to see families connect and feel part of our nursery family.


Over the years, I’ve gained a variety of qualifications that have shaped my approach to early years education, including a BA (Hons) in Education and Professional Practice, a Foundation Degree in Early Years, a Diploma in Montessori, Forest School Level 3, HR Level 3, and SENCO Level 3.


For me, early childhood is one of the most important and precious stages of life. I’m passionate about making sure every child, whatever their background or ability, gets the very best start in a setting where they feel happy, safe, and supported to be themselves. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of that journey.
