About this day nursery

Little Honeybees offers wraparound care for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) children, specifically Nursery and Reception aged children, located at the Madeley Centre. This provision begins at 7:30 am, with children being escorted to the EYFS school site by 8:45 am.

The facility also provides a complimentary 30-minute breakfast club for attendees. For older children in Years 1 to 6, a separate "Hedgehog Club" is available on the main school site, offering before and after-school care from 7:30 am and until 5:30 pm, respectively.

Additionally, free after-school clubs run from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm on specific days for this age group. The school day for Nursery and Reception children runs from 8:45 am to 3:30 pm, allowing for a flexible drop-off window until 9:00 am and a collection window between 3:15 pm and 3:30 pm, which is especially helpful for parents with children at both school sites.
