I miss them already!! My Son came here form a baby and has now started school. He talks about this nursery everyday and how he loved going. The staff are brilliant and there isn't a huge turnover of staff and many of the ladies that were then when my son first started are still there now. My son was so well cared for, it really felt like they loved him, he wasn't just a number. My oldest son went to a different nursery in the area but when we moved and I moved jobs, this nursery made more sense. The standard of care between the nurseries was polar opposites. I wish I had brought my older son here too. Even if this nursery is a little further for you, make the effort, it is worth it. Never did my son have a sore bottom or anything like that. As babies, they are not left in soiled nappies. There is no timed rota for when nappies get changed like at most nurseries, they are changed when they are needed, sounds obvious but most nurseries have 3 hour slots for changing nappies and so your child could be sitting in dirt for that long! Food was always nice, fresh and varied.often if I dropped him off a little later, I could smell roast lamb cooking. Good people who give excellent, structured, safe care (note the word "care" not "minding"). Thank you everyone, our family misses you, but we are so grateful for all that you have done.

An exceptional nursery - our daughter attended from a being a baby through to pre-school and the care, attention and facilities were amazing. The staff were absolutely fantastic and we couldn't of wished for a better, safer and more amazing place for our daughter to grow up, learn, flourish and feel like a part of a loving nursery family everyday! We and she miss it already but we can't thank Honeybuns Norton enough for starting her early years journey with so much passion, care and love and helping her to develop into the confident little girl she is today and developing some friends for life! If you want a local nursery that will put your little one first, look no further!

Went for a trial was supposed to start but couldn’t as I asked the nursery to not put my sons coat in between the outside door and entry door where is is cold and damp and where coats can’t dry and we’re freezing to touch and I witnessed them putting the cold coats on children and not wiping snotty noses and are over sensitive and arrogant when pulled up about not accepting bad care for my child. Do not recommend this nursery as I am not a mum that drops off and don’t care. I want piece of mind which this nursery doesn’t understand.

My child been to a few nurseries in her life but can honestly say this one way better then the rest. I see my child happy safe learning new things developing mannerism and the app you get to see what they done allows for complete transparency a nursery where I'm confident my child is in safe nurturing hands

I was so nervous about my little one starting nursery as she was still screaming if passed to anyone when I was returning to work but they have been nothing but understanding and she has settled. She comes home and does actions to songs which she has not learn at home. I am so so glad I chose this nursery.
