Honey Pot House Day Nursery (Shirley)

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.

My son has been at Honey Pot House since he was 7 months and is now leaving to go to school. He has enjoyed his time there, we believe he has been looked after well and he has developed well. His confidence has grown and communication skills have improved with Honey Pot House's support.

Amazing nursery. Really invest in the children, take time to know them and their families. Two of my children are currently in this setting and it feels like an extended family. It's not just a babysitting service but an education. Even with special educational needs, I have entrusted the care of my 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.

My daughter grew in confidence and we loved seeing her skills develop over time. I will truly miss seeing all the friendly staff, honestly one of the best nurseries in the area.

We highly recommend this nursery and are gutted that our baby won't be able to attend as we sadly are leaving the area.

Honey Pot House Day Nursery is a very welcoming and family-orientated nursery. The staff made me feel at ease to leave my daughter whom I'm very protective over. All my worries are heard and not put to one side. The staff go above and beyond. My daughter loves every minute she is there.

The staff at Honey Pot House Day Nursery (Shirley) are absolutely amazing they are super golden. My son had a rocky start where he didn’t want to go, he didn’t want to mix with other children which was my biggest concern. These amazing people showed him so much love and kindness and with professionalism 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.

I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough!

My daughter has just graduated from Honey Pot House Day Nursery after starting at 8 months old and she has had the most amazing care since the very start. She has had nothing but love, support and a great time there. The staff have all gone out of their way to help nourish her and help her grow into 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.

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.

Well, where do I start this nursery has given our daughter everything she needs and more. My daughter has feeding issues and the nursery has been fantastic about it. The staff are wonderful, they’ve taken our daughter's needs very seriously and done everything we have asked and more, exploring different 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.

Fantastic. Great care for children, staff is friendly well prepared and kind. My daughter has always been willing to attend. The environment is clean and tidy, the food prepared is varied and nutritious. The learning is structured around free play and children's fun, with lots of creative activities 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.

We absolutely love Honey Pot House Nursery. Our daughter has been coming here since she was 10 months old and absoltuly loves the staff. We are kept updated on daily activities through the app and they always have a broad variety of activities going on which has taught my daughter so much. They have 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!

My experience has been excellent. My daughter, from the first day, settled in well. The staff were fantastic with her throughout her time at Honey Pot. The staff and management were very friendly, knowledgeable and always answered any questions I had. She developed really good social skills which have been evident at her new school. She is a confident bright and social little girl. All thanks to Honey Pot.

Honey Pot is a fantastic establishment! They looked after my daughter and currently take care of my son in preschool. My child's confidence, attention span and relationships have grown tremendously. I feel reassured leaving him that he will be looked after well, nourished and have a lovely day of fun 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.

We have been really happy about the way our son has been taken care of at nursery. He is learning a lot of things and he is really happy at Honey Pot. The girls are amazing. We are very pleased with one girl. She really cares about our son, feeds him at different times if he does not eat the usual lunch for example.

We have been so pleased with the level of care and support that has been provided to our son since he started at Honey Pot. He has developed so much as an individual and they have helped him become more sociable. The range of activities are always fantastic and our son always looks forward to going to nursery. The staff are brilliant and always give honest and detailed feedback. Would definitely recommend Honey Pot to everyone.

All staff are professional and experienced. Places, both indoor and outdoor, are very clean, are full of toys/facilities for children to make fun. Fun activities are planned every day. Great communication to parents, even in the difficult time of Covid. Flexible in terms of booking days for children and safeguarding is really good. Overall, I am very happy with Honey Pot House Day Nursery.

The nursery really looks after my son and I feel that there is a good focus on learning and development of the children. Great and regular feedback is provided on the online platform including pictures which really helps to show what children have been doing.

The activities that they do with the children are educational and fun and the Tapestry function is great.
