Our daughter has been in this setting for 10 months now and genuinely loves her time there. She goes in every morning with a huge smile on her face and for me that’s all that matters, I know she is genuinely happy to be there and see the wonderful team who run the nursery. Sending her to nursery at 9 months old I had some reservations but genuinely didn’t need to, they looked after her in the same way I did and asked them too, even cuddled her to sleep if that’s what it took on that particular day and kept us up to date throughout the day on the fantastic app! A real home from home setting who help us in having a work life balance with young children.

This nursery is Outstanding for many reasons. My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 1 year old and is now in the preschool. It is her second home. She absolutely loves being there and the small setting makes it a place where the children are attended to and well cared for. She absolutely loves the preschool and the new extension makes it a great learning space for the children who are getting ready for 'big school'. She always gets very upset when she finds out it is the weekend or school holidays and she isn't able to go. I have always felt that the staff including the management team are so caring and they pay attention to what my child needs and also give advice on even the smallest things e.g. if they notice she is not her usual lively self or that she needs to develop skills in certain areas. No question is silly and they are always patient and helpful. I'm glad we chose The Hunny Pot and would recommend to anyone to consider it as first choice.

After the visiting day we could see they were more than capable with dealing with such issues and we loved the home from home setting. Our child had gone from baby room to toddler room and their preschool. He's grown and learnt so much thanks to the focus on children's development, things even we wouldn't have thought of. We were kept up to date throughout the day and sent lovely photos. If anything arose we are told straight away by phone or at pick up. It's clear the children come first and the children really do love the staff. They are really friend and open to talk to everyone. The menu's are healthy and all rooms are always clean.

I cannot thank Hunny pot Nurseries enough for the fantastic support given for our little girl.From the moment we enrolled our 3 year old little girl in Hunny pot Preschool, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming environment created by the staff . They genuinely care for each child and foster a sense of community among families. Our child has improved a lot in terms of communication, creativity and learning.She loves going to the nursery every day.The teachers are not only well-trained but also incredibly nurturing, which makes dropping off our little one much easier.As a parent I feel my child is very safe and happy with such a lovely and caring team. Communication is excellent, with regular updates through Parents Zone . We love seeing our child’s progress and the fun activities they do every day! Overall, the Hunny pot Nurseries team has provided a fantastic foundation for our child's early education. We are so grateful for their dedication and support.
