The Hunny Jar Day Nursery

About this day nursery

The Hunny Jar Day Nursery, part of Hunny Nurseries, offers exceptional childcare across Leicestershire with a home-from-home approach. The nursery is guided by the Development Matters framework, aiming to ensure every child reaches their maximum potential before starting school.

They deliver a rich language curriculum through a STEM-based enabling environment, empowering children with the skills to succeed and adapt to a changing world. The curriculum specifically supports future generations to prosper and grow, focusing on purposeful play activities planned by highly skilled practitioners.

These activities are differentiated for each child's development, taking into account their interests and effective learning characteristics. The environment is designed to provide challenge and open-ended play both indoors and outdoors.

The Hunny Jar fosters an open and positive safeguarding culture, prioritising children's interests and promoting their welfare and well-being so they can thrive. The nursery also emphasises building secure attachments with key workers and following familiar routines to provide a comforting environment.

Children are encouraged to develop health and independence through activities like daily 'Hunny shakes' and self-serving at meal times. As a family-run business, Hunny Nurseries values continuous improvement and listens to its management and team to enhance its services.

The Hunny Jar operates during holiday periods, open for 51 weeks of the year, providing flexible childcare options.
