When you go to view nurseries as a new parent, you’ll see the good, the bad, and the ugly. Then you’ll walk into a nursery and instantly feel that your child will be safe and happy there — that’s exactly how we felt with Honey Pot Wavertree. The staff are outstanding: so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. It’s no surprise the children thrive here. The nursery is full of stimulating toys, creative activities, and regular trips out, giving the children a rich and varied experience. Parents are kept completely in the loop through their app, with updates on development, meals, nappies, and fluid intake — such peace of mind. The settling-in sessions are brilliant, and the team go above and beyond to make adjustments so that new starters feel comfortable and secure. I honestly can’t praise this nursery enough. We’re so grateful that our little girl, Lily, is not only happy but thriving here. Honey Pot Wavertree really does feel like a home from home.

Honeypot Wavertree is a fabulous nursery! The staff are so friendly and really care about the children - there are so many lovely activities planned, including bought in services like Phonics Mark and French Pete, that I know they are in the best of care, which really puts your mind at rest when dropping your little ones off. Both of my daughters have attended Wavertree Honeypots site and have been so happy here; with my third child on the way, I have already booked in his space for when I have to return to work. Management are really approachable and knowledgeable and will always do their best to help you. The relationship the staff build with the children and also the parents is excellent; the Famly app is great for communication, to receive pictures throughout the week and to be able to send messages to your child’s key worker. I’m forever grateful to such a wonderful nursery for helping to give my children the best start in life. I recommend Honeypot to anyone looking for a nursery - rest assured that your child will be in safe, loving hands.

I visit honeypots Wavertree once a week delivering Phonics sessions to the 'School Starter children' and the 'Rising Three's' children. In each room, the staff are friendly and welcoming. They create a calm and safe space for the children to confidently explore and learn through play. It's always a pleasure visiting. Well done everybody!!

Honeypot wavertree is such an amazing setting. All the staff go above and beyond for the children in their care and always put your mind at ease as a parent. The quality of education that is provided is second to none and the variety and range of bought in services is brilliant, from football, dancing and yoga to French and Phonics. Management are warm and welcoming and will do everything they can to support you and your child. Regular updates are given through the Famly app and we are able to speak directly to the key staff who support our child. We are so thankful for the way our child is cared for and nurtured here.

Absolutely amazing nursery with excellent facilities and staff. The garden area is stunning and I love the sensory room! I've been delivering sessions here since it originally opened but what they've done with the building is fantastic. All of the little details and displays are second to none. If you're thinking of putting your child here I wouldn't think twice! Lucie x
