    The nursery is doing a great job. My son enjoys going there as the tutors are very nice and friendly, they create a lovely environment and learning methods. They are also very helpful and ready to give advice.

    Management are excellent, very friendly teachers and very understanding and supportive to myself as well as my son. Always looking for ways to support when possible. Sometimes the manager, as well as the teachers, assist me by giving me options of foods for my son’s lunch pack. My son now understands sharing with other children. He knows his letters, sounds and is good at counting etc.

    My son, at age 2.5 was the 4th child to start at Honey’s Nest from opening. On our tour with the owner; my husband and I knew straight away it was the perfect environment for our boy. Every morning he would be desperate to get in the door excited with what adventures he would have. His speech before starting was quite limited, this quickly changed after just the 1st week, and before we knew it, we couldn’t shut him up! He absolutely adored his main carer and would ask after her sometimes at weekends when we would drive
    past, all the staff were amazing. No day would be the same because they were always thinking of new fresh ideas, he would bring home paintings, crafts, baking, make us birthday/mother and father’s Day cards that I treasure, sing songs and do dances he learnt. The owner is hugely passionate about just letting a child be a child, he has created the most wonderful nursery and should be so proud of all he has achieved.

    The Honey’s Nest have been a fantastic pre-school for our eldest son. They helped settle him into a new routine very quickly and helped us big time with getting him to potty train!
    We would recommend any parents to send their children to the Honey’s Nest. The Manager and the team are very friendly and have a great understanding of how toddlers work and think.
    We are looking forward to sending our twin boys and our youngest lad, when they are old enough.
    10 out of 10! Could not ask for more.

    I couldn’t be happier with Honey’s Nest.
    My son has settled in very well and loves the Nursery. This is all because of the wonderful and friendly staff and care that is given to the children.
    His confidence has increased with adults and other children and he has made friends.
    There is good communication between home and nursery.
    I always feel comfortable and safe leaving my son.
    I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

    Would highly recommend Honey’s Nest – my 3-year-old child started at the nursery in between the first and second lockdown. Although I was not directly able to visit the nursery (online tour available), I felt confident it was the right nursery for my little boy. All staff go above and beyond to cater for the needs of every child both academically and socially (even during a pandemic, Santa was able to visit). My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting, having had some concerns at his 2.5-year review, he is now thriving and that is definitely down to the care he receives at Honey’s Nest.

    My daughter is very happy going to this nursery she really loves that place. All the staff are very friendly. She can’t wait to pass the weekend and go back to school. She has been learning a lot of things in only a few months. I recommend to everyone it’s the perfect place for our kids.

    Fantastic nursery with well trained, friendly and kind staff members.
    My child loves going to nursery and has really come out of their shell since starting. They are always trying new things, which we get to see through the regular updates and photographs.
    The time in which the staff take just to give daily reviews at the door show the level of care that goes into each and every child. It is wonderful to know that they have taken the time to really get to know each individual.
    I am so impressed with the progress my child is making, and I cannot wait to see which new feats they conquer while at nursery.

    This nursery has far exceeded any expectations we could have had. The staff are all amazing, and really do take the time with the children. They provide detailed updates which are really helpful to keep up with everything at home. They really do go the extra mile, even after being there for 6 months now.
    As cloth nappy users, we were overjoyed that we were able to continue using these while our daughter was at nursery, and they were amazing with the transition over to potty training.
    The facilities are brilliant, and there is something for everyone. My child is always coming home with new drawings, and she loves the freedom she has to explore. The security is also high, and it is upheld consistently.
    All in all a fantastic nursery with fantastic staff.

    My daughter started coming here from September 2021. Since then i have noticed a big positive change in her. They look after the children really well and make sure every one of them gets the best learning.
    I am so happy i brought my daughter here. They do so many good things for the nursery. Great teacher and parent partnership feedback also as they always include us in lots of events.

    My son started at Honeys Nest preschool in January. He had only just turned 2 but due to covid he had very little interaction with anyone his age and he was saying very little so I thought he would benefit from it. He goes 2 mornings a week. At first he was a little hesitant going in but now he runs in and he has absolutely flourished since starting there, now saying lots of different words and learning new things all the time. The staff are very friendly and nothing is any bother. Roll on January when he can go everyday!

    Came across this nursery completely by accident as was initially looking for a place midterm which is tricky. I immediately received contact back and set everything up very quickly. Now a year later both my little boys attend this nursery. All staff is so lovely and understanding, very knowledgable. Never had any issues whatsoever. They really do go above and beyond for children, going the extra mile to help. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

    This is an amazing nursery/pre-school. My child loves the teachers, activities and made a lot of friends there. Teachers are very encouraging in every way. Pre-school education is fantastic and my daughter always comes back home with something new he has learned. Teachers are very caring and approachable. My daughter is very fond of all of them, which is very reassuring for parents. We receive regular feedback with photos and progress information and children are rewarded for their work. My daughter adores being recognised for things she does well and they work on her strong points and make her thrive. Team are amazing at building a child’s confidence and social skills. I can see how my daughter flourished in the last year and a half and the nursery certainly contributed to that. Contact with management and availability is excellent.

    Honey’s Nest is a fantastic pre school with such wonderful, caring staff. I have 3 boys currently attending, 2 of which have high additional needs and the staff do an incredible job ensuring their needs are met and they are happy. They always try and encourage and include them as best they can whilst also giving them the freedom to do their own thing when they want/need. They have also helped with getting the support they need and putting things in place for them to help with their learning and development. My youngest only started a couple of months ago but he loves going as there’s so much for him to do and he always comes out smiling. From my experience there is nothing Honey’s Nest can’t do and I’m so happy my boys go there.

    I would like to say a big thank you to the amazing people who work in this nursery. My two kids are here and they are having a great time, learning many things and developing their personality. The teachers are lovely people, warm and approachable.
    I will always recommend this nursery to anyone who wants a great start for their kids.

    I am relieved that my son is in a secure environment. The staff is well-trained, amiable and extremely flexible with my son’s routine. The activities at Honey’s Nest include painting, cooking, gardening, role-playing, singing, sports, dancing, and hatching duck eggs or butterflies. They also use a play-based interactive digital table where kids may learn about numbers and letters. The staff has the best methods and encouraged my son to be independent, establishing a pleasant environment so my son loves going in every morning without even saying goodbye. In addition, we received educational materials and weekly updates with photos and evaluations of my son’s development, staff also promptly let me know of any concerns. Most importantly, my eldest son attended the same nursery and misses both, the setting and the warmth of the employees, being sad about having to go to preschool. Overall, we are very pleased with the nursery and assured that our son is in the best hands.

    Lovely nursery with great management and friendly teachers and homely atmosphere. Attention to detail and individual approach to each child gives great results. My 3-year-old improved immensely her speaking and communication skills in the last school year and I am looking forward to the next year to come. Strongly recommended.

    Amazing nursery and staff. Always willing to go the extra mile. They genuinely care about the children in their care. We were nervous about switching nursery as my son had already made friends in his previous Nursery. The transition was seamless, all credit to the staff. The manager in particular is very responsive and always willing to help. Easily the best nursery in the area, from the resources they have for the children, to the way they communicate children’s development to parents online. Honey Nest gears children up with the tools they need to transition in school life. My son loved his graduation party, a really nice touch from the Honey Nest team. Thank you!
