HoneyBea Partnership, located in Ilminster, provides childcare for children aged 0–4 years. The setting was rated Good by Ofsted at its latest inspection on 12 December 2023.
At HoneyBea Partnership, leaders and managers carefully consider how children learn when developing their curriculum, helping them to build skills over time. For example, staff ensure children have many opportunities to develop physical strength in their arms and hands before they begin to write.
Babies enjoy making marks by pushing and pulling trains through flour, while toddlers explore play dough, pulling, stretching, and patting it into different shapes. Older children use various tools to manipulate the dough.
The nursery focuses on preparing older children for their transition to school, including developing mathematical skills and the ability to recall favourite stories. Children enjoy working together on large floor puzzles, showing perseverance when tasks become challenging.
The staff at HoneyBea Partnership gather information from parents to plan experiences that support children's interests and help them settle in, fostering strong bonds between children and familiar, friendly adults who know them well. The setting has provision for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), with professional discussions conducted with leaders, managers, the Designated Safeguarding Lead, and the Special Educational Needs Coordinator during inspections.
Children learn behavioral expectations from an early age, responding well to reminders and understanding the importance of sharing. The curriculum is designed to provide a balanced range of experiences that support children's development for future learning.

I would highly recommend Rose Cutters childcare. It’s an absolutely beautiful setting with a big garden and the staff are lovely, they go above and beyond to accommodate our needs. My children really enjoy coming and they love being part of the Rose Cutters family.
