Review from S G (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with the care our little one receives at The Hunny Comb Day Nursery in Countesthorpe. As first-time parents, leaving our baby in someone else's care was a huge step-but the amazing team at Hunny Comb made the transition smooth, reassuring, and genuinely comforting.


The infant

room is calm, clean, and thoughtfully set up to support early development. The staff are incredibly nurturing and attentive-they take the time to understand each baby's unique needs and routines, and we can tell our child is truly cared for and loved.


We get regular updates throughout the day, including photos and notes about feedings, naps, and milestones, which really puts our minds at ease. The communication is excellent and the staff are always approachable and happy to answer any questions.


The School Manager is quick and swift in responding as well as the day are teachers, two in particular are super supportive and look after my little one really well. Thank You.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic overall experience. My son has been here since day 1 of the nursery opening and has been in 2 different rooms due to age groups with different staff. All of the staff have been amazing and he absolutely loves his time here. Communication has been great, the app is beneficial as it keeps you
up to date throughout the day with photos/meals, etc. Would 100% recommend it to anyone. We've seen a huge improvement in his development over the last few months. Some of the meals I wish I could eat there!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child moved to the Honey Comb from another setting. The transition was seemless, and he settled in really quickly. All of the staff are wonderful, and so welcoming and caring. Communication with the nursery is great, will regular updates about what he has been up to as well as pictures. Management
are great, and the finance team are always on hand for any queries. He eats really well at nursery and has developed some strong friendships. He is always babbling away with excitement about what he has been up to. The facilities are incredible, from the home kitchen set up to the masses of outdoor activities. So far we are really happy with everything that The Hunny Comb provides, it's such a lovely environment for the children. Thank you for everything that you do.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.167)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.167) out of 10 for The Hunny Comb Day Nursery, Countesthorpe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.667 for The Hunny Comb Day Nursery, Countesthorpe is calculated as follows: ( (26 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.667
  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 3.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Hunny Comb Day Nursery, Countesthorpe is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.25
  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.
