September 10, 2024 at 10:08 pmThey helped settle him into a new routine very quickly and helped us big time with getting him to potty train!
We would suggest any parents to send their kids to the Honey’s Nest. The Manager and the team are very welcoming and have a excellent 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. The Honey’s Nest have been a remarkable pre-school for our eldest son.

September 27, 2024 at 9:08 pmMy kid loves going to childcare centre and has really come out of their shell since starting. They are consistently trying new things, which we get to see through the regular updates and photographs.
The time in which the team take just to give daily reviews at the door show the level of care that goes into each and every kid. It is fantastic to know that they have taken the time to really get to know each individual.
I am so impressed with the development my kid is making, and I cannot wait to see which new feats they conquer while at childcare centre. Remarkable childcare centre with well trained, welcoming and compassionate team members.

October 2, 2024 at 11:26 pmConsistently looking for ways to assistance when possible. Sometimes the manager, as well as the educators, assist me by giving me options of foods for my son’s lunch pack. My son now understands sharing with other kids. He knows his letters, sounds and is great at counting etc. Management are outstanding, very welcoming educators and very understanding and supportive to myself as well as my son.

My 3-year-old improved immensely her speaking and updates skills in the last school year and I am looking forward to the next year to come. Strongly recommended. Lovely childcare centre with excellent management and welcoming educators and homely atmosphere.

November 9, 2024 at 7:36 pmI have 3 boys currently attending, 2 of which have high additional needs and the team do an incredible job ensuring their needs are met and they are cheerful. They consistently 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 assistance they need and putting things in place for them to help with their discovering 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 consistently comes out smiling. From my journey there is nothing Honey’s Nest can’t do and I’m so cheerful my boys go there. Honey’s Nest is a remarkable pre school with such fantastic, attentive team.

December 22, 2024 at 9:55 pmI immediately received contact back and set everything up very quickly. Now a year later both my little boys attend this childcare centre. All team is so lovely and understanding, very knowledgable. Never had any issues whatsoever. They really do go above and beyond for kids, going the extra mile to help. I couldn’t suggest them enough! Came across this childcare centre completely by accident as was initially looking for a place midterm which is tricky.

December 30, 2024 at 1:22 pmMy two kids are here and they are having a excellent time, discovering many things and developing their personality. The educators are lovely people, inviting and approachable.
I will consistently suggest this childcare centre to anyone who wants a excellent start for their kids. I would like to say a big thank you to the incredible people who work in this childcare centre.

January 9, 2025 at 2:26 pmAll the team are very welcoming. She can’t wait to pass the weekend and go back to school. She has been discovering a lot of things in only a few months. I suggest to everyone it’s the perfect place for our kids. My daughter is very cheerful going to this childcare centre she really loves that place.

January 17, 2025 at 2:21 amMy daughter started going there since September 2021. She adore’s this place a lot. I am really cheerful to see her enjoying and discovering so many things. She has improved really well. All the team are absolutely exceptional. They are very supportive and knows their stuff well. They have been unbelievably supportive. I highly suggest this childcare centre. This childcare centre is remarkable.

January 24, 2025 at 3:43 pmHe 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 discovering new things all the time. The team are very welcoming and nothing is any bother. Roll on January when he can go everyday! My son started at Honeys Nest preschool in January.

January 26, 2025 at 12:20 pmThe team 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 playtime-based interactive digital table where kids may learn about numbers and letters. The team has the best methods and encouraged my son to be independent, establishing a pleasant setting 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, team also promptly let me know of any concerns. Most importantly, my eldest son attended the same childcare centre 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 childcare centre and assured that our son is in the best hands. I am relieved that my son is in a secure setting.

February 12, 2025 at 8:16 amMy kid loves the educators, activities and made a lot of friends there. Educators are very encouraging in every way. Pre-school education is remarkable and my daughter consistently comes back home with something new he has learned. Educators are very attentive and approachable. My daughter is very fond of all of them, which is very reassuring for parents. We receive regular feedback with photos and development information and kids 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 incredible at building a kid’s self‑assurance and social skills. I can see how my daughter flourished in the last year and a half and the childcare centre certainly contributed to that. Contact with management and availability is outstanding. This is an incredible childcare centre/pre-school.

February 27, 2025 at 6:45 amAlthough I was not directly able to visit the childcare centre (online tour available), I felt confident it was the right childcare centre for my little boy. All team go above and beyond to cater for the needs of every kid 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. Would highly suggest Honey’s Nest – my 3-year-old kid started at the childcare centre in between the first and second lockdown.

March 2, 2025 at 1:21 amConsistently willing to go the extra mile. They genuinely care about the kids in their care. We were nervous about switching childcare centre as my son had already made friends in his previous Childcare centre. The transition was seamless, all credit to the team. The manager in particular is very responsive and consistently willing to help. Easily the best childcare centre in the area, from the resources they have for the kids, to the way they communicate kids’s development to parents online. Honey Nest gears kids 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! Incredible childcare centre and team.

April 6, 2025 at 3:04 amI consistently sense comfortable and secure leaving my son.
I would highly suggest this childcare centre to any parent. I couldn’t be happier with Honey’s Nest.
My son has settled in very well and loves the Childcare centre. This is all because of the fantastic and welcoming team and care that is given to the kids.
His self‑assurance has increased with adults and other kids and he has made friends.
There is great updates between home and childcare centre.

May 15, 2025 at 1:59 pmSince then i have noticed a big positive change in her. They look after the kids really well and make sure every one of them gets the best discovering.
I am so cheerful i brought my daughter here. They do so many great things for the childcare centre. Excellent teacher and parent partnership feedback also as they consistently include us in lots of events. My daughter started coming here from September 2021.

June 21, 2025 at 5:49 amOn our tour with the owner; my husband and I knew straight away it was the perfect setting 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 team were incredible. No day would be the same because they were consistently 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 kid be a kid, he has created the most fantastic childcare centre and should be so proud of all he has achieved. My son, at age 2.5 was the 4th kid to start at Honey’s Nest from opening.
Parker Drake
July 5, 2025 at 10:30 amThe team are all incredible, and really do take the time with the kids. They provide detailed updates which are really supportive 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 childcare centre, and they were incredible with the transition over to potty training.
The facilities are exceptional, and there is something for everyone. My kid is consistently 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 remarkable childcare centre with remarkable team. This childcare centre has far exceeded any expectations we could have had.
