About this day nursery

Honeys Nursery and Stingers Kids Club, located in Biggin Hill, Kent, has been providing childcare on non-domestic premises since its registration with Ofsted in November 1995. The nursery caters to children aged 1 to 4 years and offers an all-year-round service, operating from 7:00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday.

The setting has an 'Expected Standard' rating from its latest inspection in December 2025. Honeys Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, focusing on developing independence, social responsibility, and a strong sense of belonging in children.

The nursery emphasises outdoor learning daily, helping children build physical strength and coordination. They also prioritise children's welfare and healthy choices, actively working with parents and external partners to support children's development and promote positive behaviour.

Our ethos

Honeys Nursery focuses on fostering a positive approach to learning, building confidence, promoting social connections, and developing communication skills within a supportive environment by integrating the seven areas of development from the Early Years Foundation Stage. They employ a key person approach to monitor each child's development and build on their existing knowledge and skills, emphasizing a strong partnership with parents.

What it's like

Staff identify children with gaps in their learning, including special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, the support they provide does not always reduce barriers to children's learning. This limits the ability of staff to meet the needs of disadvantaged children or those with SEND effectively, meaning these children do not always make progress that prepares them well for school. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and promote the importance of attendance and punctuality to parents. They create opportunities for children to develop their own interests.

Actions the provider must take

  • Support staff to identify gaps in learning and adapt their teaching to enable all children to be well prepared for the next stage of their education, including school. (Completion Date: 30/03/2026)

What it's like to attend

Staff identify children with gaps in their learning, including special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, the support they provide does not always reduce barriers to children's learning. This limits the ability of staff to meet the needs of disadvantaged children or those with SEND effectively, meaning these children do not always make progress that prepares them well for school. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and promote the importance of attendance and punctuality to parents. They create opportunities for children to develop their own interests.

Inspector highlights

  • Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour and promote positive interactions.
  • Children learn key independence skills and develop social responsibility.
  • Leaders effectively implement policies for children's welfare and healthy choices.
  • Staff provide daily outdoor learning, helping children develop physical skills.
  • Leaders create a welcoming environment and prioritise staff well-being.
  • Leaders work effectively with parents to support children's learning and give parents information about children's education that helps them to extend their learning at home.

Areas to develop

  • 1Children who are disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not always achieve well; leaders do not have sufficient oversight of assessment to ensure consistent progress, particularly in communication skills.
  • 2Teaching is not always adapted to promote speaking and listening skills for all children.
  • 3The action leaders take to provide an equally ambitious curriculum is not always effective, especially for disadvantaged children and those with SEND in developing speaking skills.
  • 4Leaders do not always implement advice from specialists to support children's learning, limiting staff's ability to plan focused activities to close learning gaps for children with SEND or those who are disadvantaged.
  • 5Professional learning opportunities for staff are not always targeted to improve outcomes for disadvantaged children and those with learning gaps.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders support staff to work closely with families to promote the physical health needs of individual children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They seek advice from external experts to help staff to create care plans for individual children. However, the support provided does not always reduce barriers to children's learning and leaders do not always implement advice from specialists to support children's learning.

Outdoor space

Staff ensure that children have daily access to outdoor learning. They teach children key skills, including balance, physical strength and coordination. All children enjoy being physically active.
