About this day nursery
Honeybees Day Care in Birmingham, established in September 2022, provides a warm, calm, and nurturing environment for children aged 2 to 11 years. The nursery operates term-time, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, with before- and after-school provision and a holiday club until 7:00 pm.
Ofsted rated the overall effectiveness of Honeybees Day Care as Good, following its latest inspection on June 7, 2024. The staff are dedicated to understanding each child's unique personality, offering them time to express themselves, and ensuring that every activity has a clear learning intent.
This approach helps children make significant progress, as evidenced by positive parent feedback. The curriculum is challenging and purposeful, particularly focusing on supporting children for whom English is an additional language.
All staff, including bilingual members, use children's home languages to aid their understanding and build English language skills, leading to rapid fluency. The nursery also excels in its special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) provision, swiftly making referrals to external agencies and working closely with professionals to ensure children receive the necessary support.
Children enjoy daily opportunities for physical activity, utilising both indoor and outdoor spaces, and engaging with various writing materials. The leadership team has effectively addressed previous recommendations, significantly raising the quality of teaching and fostering strong relationships with parents to support children's learning both at nursery and at home.
