What Our Parents Say

Chelsea Teanby

My daughter has recently started at Hunnypot nursery and she absolutely loves it!!! she goes in with open arms ready to thrive the day! the staff go above and beyond for all the children and the parents/guardians! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their little ones….HunnyPot is the one!⭐️🍯⭐️

Rebecca Hill

We have just completed a full 4 years of our daughter attending Hunny Pot where she thrived, was happy, had fun, learned all sorts, made friends and developed well in all areas. As a lockdown Mum I had a lot of concerns and anxiety about leaving my baby girl with anyone, as I hadn't needed too for 8 months. Yet the manager Vicky was empathetic, sympathetic and patient. She listened well to all my questions and was happy for me to have more than one visit, and for my husband to then have a visit also (we had to come separately due to social distancing). This care and support was welcomed and appreciated and really helped prove to me that the team care for not just the children but the parents experience too. Through my daughters time at Hunny Pot she had the best care and attention in the Roos, Kangas and Tiggers rooms. She bonded well with all the staff there. She sees them as friends and made lots of friends too with the children she got to play and learn with. She enjoyed nearly all the food, and especially the puddings. Her favourite experience was when they introduced a weekly Kixx football session with the fun Coach Alex. It was the highlight of her week and alongside the lovely climbing frame to play on outside, the chance to observe caterpillars growing and changing into butterflies, they even care for tadpoles to frogs one summer, and the odd walk trip to see local horses - all this and more has meant my daughter is the confident and clever lass she is today.

Myself and my wife have visited numerous nurseries locally and Honeypot immediately stood out, from the friendly and professional staff, the welcoming environment, the support they give the kids, the homemade and varied menu throughout the week and great management. Both our kids have been to Honeypot with our eldest ‘graduating’ today, both have grown in confidence, and love it there. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

Rebecca Keating

This wonderful team has put so much work into letting my Daughter find her way and become an amazing little person. Thank you to Vicky and the team for helping us foster her wildness! As first time parents we'd truly be stumped without their guidance.

Carrie Walsh

Absolutely fantastic! My daughter started here in April and even though she sometimes struggles socially, she had no problems at all settling in, she loves it! There's so many different activities for her to do which is ideal as she gets bored easily and there is lots of room for her to run around at her leisure, in and outdoors. Staff are lovely and welcoming and i know my daughter feels very comfortable with them. Very happy! 😊

Myah Davis

I cannot fault this nursery establishment in any way, the staff are caring and passionate when it comes the quality of care with my daughter. The management team and staff attend to all my daughters needs and keeps me informed of how my child is progressing.

Hunnypot are a fantastic nursery. I was so anxious about leaving my child for the first time but as soon as I met Perry and Vicky I instantly felt at ease and I knew they would be looking after my child well. She has been there 6 months and they have been amazing throughout, communication is fantastic and they are on the ball with absolutely everything. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
