About this day nursery

Honey Pots Childcare Limited, operating since 2010 in Crawley, provides a warm and engaging environment for children aged 1 to 4 years. Open all year, Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm, the day nursery ensures children are greeted with joyful smiles and wave goodbye to their parents happily, fostering a sense of safety and confidence.

Children demonstrate growing independence by thoughtfully looking for the letter of their name and proudly hanging their bags and coats on their peg. The setting prides itself on an ambitious and well-organised curriculum that actively builds on children's interests.

Staff carefully observe and assess each child's progress, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring ongoing development. They work closely with other professionals and settings to promote the best outcomes for every child.

Parents frequently express their happiness with the information and support they receive, particularly appreciating the activities provided to support children's speech and language development at home. Children enjoy exploring their physical abilities outdoors, persevering as they throw hoops onto cones with accuracy and skilfully throwing beanbags into numbered buckets, running with confidence and pedalling effortlessly around the play area.

Friendly and enthusiastic staff engage children in meaningful conversations, supporting their communication skills and providing rich vocabulary as they play.
