Our baby has settled wonderfully at Honeybear and is absolutely thriving. There is such a friendly, home from home feel and the staff go above and beyond for the children and the parents. We would highly recommend.

This nursery is not one I would recommend. They do not act on complaints pertaining to safeguarding and treat parents like they are a hindrance rather than as a valued customer or as a human being. What is quite laughable is that these reviews for this setting are written by staff and family members of the owner none of them are factual. They are all fiction written as a marketing tactic. The owner is a very abrupt woman who never had the common decency to even say good morning. The staff knowledge is questionable and the communication is seriously lacking and requires a great deal of improvement. I did not know who the manager was for some time due to the ever changing hands of management. My son often came home dirty and I felt belittled during my son Potty training like I was being shamed for him having accidents like I was inconveniencing the staff. I would see staff standing around chatting whilst children were climbing on furniture and not being properly supervised. However what I will say is that this does not apply to all staff and Michael in particular showed caring and had an enthusiastic attitude; always with a smile on his face.

My Son attends this Nursery and we could not be happier with the care and education he receives. The manager and staff are all fantastic. They know him really well and I'm pretty sure he prefers being at nursery to being at home with us, he has that much fun. Throughout covid they have remained a lifeline for our family. The Nursery Director was in the Nursery everyday, working with the staff and she has always been approachable and smiley. Communication is great with the staff which is more important than ever. The Nursery is well organised and managed and its clear when you see the staff that this is more than just a job to them! Highly recommend!

Everybody has their own experience and in my family’s case, our’s was a terrible experience. The staff come across as miserable and looked as though they wanted to be anywhere else. Nothing was ever clear, if you asked a question it was “umm, I’ll go check” and you would be stood waiting at the door, sometimes in terrible weather. My son once came home with defecation in his underpants and was very red and sore he was very upset when my wife changed him and cleaned him up. On another occasion, he came home with a bite mark and when my wife asked about that, the staff member seemed surprised and said they’d check with other staff who were in the room but the same staff member presented an accident form when picked up by me later on and was dated the day before. We also had asked to only let him sleep an hour as this was his routine and their response was not to wake a sleeping child, in our eyes We believed that was just lazy and showed they didn’t want to do their jobs (one of many Lazy, can’t be bothered incidents) The staff refusing to wake my son messed with our home life and he would be up hours in the night, then be exhausted the next morning! I felt my son learnt nothing during his time with these people and don’t think he gained any skills. The nursery itself (from pictures as we werent allowed in) did not look clean or organised, it just looks cluttered messy and even dirty. From my experience I find that it’s just a poorly run establishment and the staff don’t care.

I don't usually post reviews on here as I feel they are very often not reliable and from questionable sources. I felt I needed to disagree with the most recent review however as it is slanderous and potentially very damaging to a local buisness doing their best in extremely difficult times. My son attends this nursery and he is happy, loved and well cared for. He often comes home mucky because he is bursting with stories of searching for the gruffalo, finding worms and making mud cakes! I find the team honest, caring and approachable and receive frequent updates and communication face to face, by email, by app and by phone. But please - don't take my word for it - if you are considering somewhere to care for your child go and visit for yourself. Don't go off a google review!
