Honey Pot House Day Nursery (Shirley)

going to miss the staff when he moves to reception.
Our baby girl is now starting nursery and will be in the baby room. The settle in sessions have been so reassuring and we know she will be well looked after and happy there.

children to the wonderful staff at Honeypot. They tailor to each child's needs from changing the menu for an individual child to working with outside agencies to provide support. From the management right down to the kitchen staff, each member of this setting is perfectly in sync with the children. The attention to detail with the activities planned and parent involvement shows how they go the extra mile. A welcome happy second home for any child.

the friendly staff, honestly one of the best nurseries in the area.

helpful, accommodating and supportive of our needs as a family. Everyone is smiley and enthusiastic; you can tell that they really care and love all the kids.
The nursery itself is very homely with a fantastic selection of toys and activities for the children. We have been so impressed with the creativity of the staff! We are regularly updated on tapestry, including photos and also at collection time.
The food is of high quality and cooked on site by a very talented chef.
There have been lots of great events involving parents too so it feels like a community.
We highly recommend this nursery and are gutted that our baby won't be able to attend as we sadly are leaving the area.

they changed him completely. Now he mixes with other children. Plays with them. He asks so many questions. They built his confidence so much that it’s like he’s a different child. I get a daily report on Tapestry on what activities he is been involved in and what he has eaten etc. We don’t appreciate what an amazing job these people do. I would very highly recommend Honeypot all day long.

skills. She had great food and became less picky eating there. The curriculum was brilliant - every day, she was doing many fun and messy activities, which she loved. She had a lovely bond with the staff and happily went into nursery every day, which reduced our stress so much. It was amazing to see her grow whilst she attended, and her progress was incredible. Additionally, the nursery is so reliable and the staff easy to get hold of when necessary - I didn't realise all nurseries were not like this until we relocated to Manchester and have already had two different nurseries change her days last minute and increase prices with no notice given.
I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough!

the confident little girl she is ready for school. They have provided excellent care to the amazing activities each and every day and she always seems to be so happy there. There is nothing more they could have done for her and I am really sad to see her leave we were always made to feel like nothing was too much and like we were family. The childcare manager has been amazing every step of the way and really is a true natural at her job and this follows down to all the staff. I couldn’t recommend this nursery anymore I can guarantee your child will grow and be cared for in such a loving environment with top-quality care. Thank you girls for everything you have done for me and my family.

and I’m aware of what my daughter is doing on a daily basis. And I experience first hand all the fun and educational stuff she is taught!
I love that they cook food on site, that way my daughter doesn’t miss out on a home cooked hot meal and allergies are more controllable.
The staff are fantastic from management to the lovely ladies in the nursery. Always happy and positive. Recently the nursery implemented a well-being segment I love this! Mental health is important and I love that my daughter is taught that it’s ok to talk and feel the way she does.

foods dealing with sensory issues and also working with the speech and language therapist via video call. All of this has helped our daughter overcome most of her feeding issues, she eats everything at nursery now which is a massive achievement thanks to the staff at Honey Pot House. My daughter has come on so much since being there, it’s always clean and inviting and has a friendly atmosphere about it. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who’s thinking of a good and trustworthy place for their child. My daughter's key worker at nursery is brilliant always there for anything my daughter needs.

always different and which promote all aspects of education and children's development, including respect for nature and the environment. The tools used are often sustainable, lots of garden time and activities. They also promote languages such as French. Comms via Tapestry are excellent.

handled the current covid 19 pandemics with excellent care and kept us updated as to changes every step of the way. I already have my second daughter's name down for a place in February. Love them!

been evident at her new school. She is a confident bright and social little girl. All thanks to Honey Pot.

and safeguarding is really good. Overall, I am very happy with Honey Pot House Day Nursery.

to nursery. The staff are brilliant and always give honest and detailed feedback. Would definitely recommend Honey Pot to everyone.

for example.

activities. The staff are so friendly and I feel like they are family. A huge bonus is that all activities are recorded on tapestry and food is homecooked. The staff have gone out of their way to accommodate my son's eating habits and the facilities are excellent. All staff are long term which helps with settling.
