August 4, 2015 at 12:00 amMy son has been here for nearly a year, and he loves it. For me, it is like dropping him off with friends. They do many activities such as day trips, Christmas concerts and sports day that all the children were able to take part in. If I can’t be with my son all day, the next best thing has been bringing him to the Hunny Bear. The staff really care about the children, and it shows in the relationship they have with my son. The preschool have been working hard with me and my son to help him be ready for school. The nursery have put on training for parents to attend including phonics and Makaton which helps me at home support my child with his development. Thank you for all your hard work.

June 5, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended the nursery for 2 years now and I am delighted not only with her progress but the communication of her progress at the nursery. The staff are always attentive and caring, the children appear happy and stimulated and the environment is always clean and bright with an ever-changing variety of activities on offer. I would thoroughly recommend the setting to anyone who is looking for a nursery for their child.

September 5, 2017 at 12:00 amI have two children at the Hunny Bears Day Nursery, and would thoroughly recommend them! Every single member of the team is so caring and professional. For instance, this morning my son was a bit out of sorts when we arrived at nursery as he’d woken up way too early and it was also his first day in his new room. The carer paid him lots of attention and tried to reassure him. She gave him a cuddle and took him to the window to wave goodbye to me. When I rang later in the day to see if he’d been ok, I was not made to feel like an over protective mum (that I probably am!!) and they took the time to reassure me that he had been absolutely fine!
The preparation that they gave my daughter for going to school was second to none! She is the youngest in her class so this was really important to me.
I’ve been really happy with this nursery overall. Highly recommended.

September 6, 2017 at 12:00 amHaving moved my child from a nearby nursery in March, I’ve been extremely happy with my child’s development. My child settled in immediately and I think this was down to the staff and their welcoming approach. I was immediately impressed with the structure of activities
The staff never tire of me ringing up to check my child is ok or I can email the manager with endless questions and queries and I get a response within hours.
We also receive monthly newsletters which I never had from the previous nursery.

January 4, 2018 at 12:00 amMy twin girls have attended the Hunny Bear Nursery since August 2014 and have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the nursery. We are very happy with the level of care they provide to the children and how advanced they were when it came to them starting school. All the staff are very friendly and approachable if you need to discuss any issues.
They have a wide range of activities for the children to do throughout the day and have a lovely play area so the children get that outside experience too. They always offer a great variety of healthy food and a great brief diet, which they also cater for if there are special dietary requirements.
I would highly recommend this nursery to all friends and family as we have been thoroughly happy with all aspects. My girls now go to the after school club and holiday club there which is brilliant as it has meant we have kept the consistency for them after school too. Thank you Hunny Bear, keep up good work.

January 4, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son moved to this nursery after going to a childminder for 2.5 years, he was welcomed in immediately, the staff are a credit to the nursery. My son loves going to Hunny Bears 3 days a week and has learnt so much since July 2017 when he started. I love him being there and the joy it brings to collect him and hear all about his day. I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

February 8, 2018 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended this nursery for over a year and I am extremely impressed. She also attends another setting and I cannot recommend Hunny Bear enough, she is ahead with her phonics, she is able to spell three letter words, is counting amazingly and I honestly think it is down to the way this setting encourages learning.
She is extremely happy coming here, doesn’t stop talking about her friends and how they play and loves the ‘Cooking Bear’ and Traveling Ted’ which is given to a child to take home for a few days.

March 7, 2018 at 12:00 amReally glad I picked this nursery.
All the girls that work there are so friendly and really make you feel welcome. My daughter has really settled in well and is always really happy when I go and pick her up and it’s great that they do different and fun activities with them each day.

June 1, 2018 at 12:00 amMy Daughter loves this nursery and so do I. All the girls are so welcoming and friendly. She has learnt a lot since she started in 2017 and continually returns home displaying the new things she’s learnt, its great to see how much they teach her. I feel totally at ease leaving my little girl in the care of this nursery.

March 16, 2020 at 12:00 amI am so thankful we found such an amazing nursery. Management and staff are lovely and so caring towards my daughter. She seems so much more content, since moving her from another setting. The nursery is very safe and it’s very reassuring to see they have CCTV in and out of the building.

July 6, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child started this nursery in March 2022, as most will know it can be a very daunting experience leaving your child in somebody else’s care. I don’t know what I ever had to worry about, the love and care the staff have for the children is outstanding, the staff/management are so lovely and there’s always someone available to talk to should any of my questions be answered. My child’s development is forever growing and I cant wait for him to experience the other rooms within the setting.

August 23, 2022 at 12:00 amCannot recommend the Hunny Bear enough. The staff and management team are so warm and welcoming. I was worried about leaving my child, to begin with, with it being my first child and returning to work, however, the staff put my mind at ease. I love getting regular updates throughout the day on the app so I can see how settled and happy my child is.
