A recent inspection reveals a nurturing environment where children feel safe and secure. The thoughtful curriculum and expert interactions promote positive attitudes toward learning, with strong support for language development and physical skills. Parents appreciate the consistent communication. While diverse activities help children understand the world, more opportunities for community engagement and outings are recommended to further enhance experiences.

Excellent Childminders

5 stars

Shelia and Naz looked after both my boys from 8 months though to pre school age. They absolutely loved their time with Honeybees and I was really happy going to work knowing they were so well cared for. Would 100% recommend for your little one!

Sheila was amazing with my 2 daughters, happy safe environment with so many activities, it was a home away from home. Both my girls loved their time there so much, I can’t recommend them highly enough

Sheila & Naz are amazing

5 stars

Sheila and Naz at Honeybees looked after my eldest Daughter in 2016 from age 10 months - 2 years. 4 years later I was so lucky that they had space to take care of my twins daughters who are still in their care. I found Honeybees after I had been let down by another childminder and I am so glad I did.
Our girls love being at Sheila's house and me and my husband trust Sheila and Naz implicitly. They are so caring and have helped our girls development greatly. Thank you so much Honeybees, you have given us a great experience of childcare and I don't know what we would have done without you! x

Love love love Honeybees

5 stars

My daughter used to go to Honeybees, before I went on maternity leave with my 2nd baby.
I always felt that Honeybees provided a safe, friendly and educational environment, which gave me peace of mind.
Not only is the setting in a beautiful, tidy and child safe house, the meals and range of activities really helped my daughter to progress with different foods and activities.
I would definitely recommend Honeybees. Sheila and her sister are amazing.
