Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Amy and the team are truly exceptional and stand out for the enriching, well rounded experiences they provide for children. From the moment you meet them, it’s clear that care, thought, and dedication go into every aspect of the environment.
One of the most impressive features is the strong focus on outdoor learning. The children benefit from a fantastic outdoor setting where they can explore, play, and develop a real connection with nature. Whether it’s engaging in hands on activities in the fresh air or enjoying structured outdoor learning, the opportunities provided are both meaningful and fun.
The regular day trips are another highlight. These outings are carefully planned and give children the chance to experience the world beyond the setting in a safe and stimulating way. Visits to local areas, including allotments, allow children to learn about growing food, nature, and the environmen encouraging curiosity and practical life skills from an early age.
What truly sets this setting apart, however, is the incredible team. They consistently go above and beyond for the children, showing genuine care, patience, and enthusiasm in everything they do. It’s clear they are passionate about supporting each child’s individual needs, ensuring every child feels valued, safe, and encouraged. Their commitment creates a nurturing environment where children can confidently explore, learn, and grow.
On a personal note, my son has absolutely thrived here, not only in his development but socially as well. He has made friendships that will likely last a lifetime, which speaks volumes about the warm, inclusive, and supportive atmosphere created by the team.
The variety of opportunities offered is outstanding. Every day feels purposeful, with a perfect balance of play, learning, and exploration. The environment nurtures confidence, independence, and creativity, ensuring each child can thrive at their own pace.
Overall, this is a warm, inspiring, and highly professional childminding setting that goes above and beyond in every way. Any child here is given not just care, but a truly enriching and memorable start to their early years.

My daughter has been attending Amy’s setting for almost 2 years and I could not be happier with the time she has spent there.
As I have worked in early years myself for a very long time, I was very selective about where I wanted my daughter to spend her time and who would be caring for her. From that first conversation with Amy, I knew this was the perfect fit. Amy is so passionate about early years and all areas of their development. From the creative activities that are incredibly thought out, to the wonderful days trips they have shared together. My daughter has been given memories and experiences to last a lifetime.
Children are encouraged to express themselves in all ways possible - whether this be getting messy, learning new languages or physically through football clubs or climbing equipment (my daughter’s personal favourite).
To see her thrive over the past two years has been a great happiness to myself and my husband and we are truly grateful to Amy and the whole team for allowing her to do so.

I have two children, both of which have attended Honeybee's. My daughter is still with Amy and has been for 3 years. Amy is such a natural with the children & has the patience of a saint. I was a very anxious mom in the beginning and I'd never left my children with anyone, even family, but Amy was so reassuring and caring - I've never had to worry about them being there.
Amy goes out of her way to create an amazing environment for the children. She does such amazing things with them & they are always learning new things!
The new outdoor setting is so lovely and my daughter really thrives being outdoors so it's perfect for her!
My children absolutely adore Amy and she's has been so supportive for me as a parent too.
I am so glad I found Amy and chose to send my children to Honeybee's ❤️

We are extremely happy with the care our daughter receives at Honeybees. Amy and the whole team are truly exceptional, creating a nurturing, supportive, and engaging environment for the children.
The range of opportunities and experiences provided is outstanding. We particularly value the strong emphasis on outdoor learning—our daughter spends plenty of time outside rather than being indoors all day, and the forest school that Amy has developed is fantastic. It has made such a positive impact on her confidence, independence, and overall enjoyment of learning. The benefits of this hands-on, outdoor approach are invaluable.
In addition, the variety of extra clubs and activities on offer further enriches the children’s experience, making every day exciting and different.
Most importantly, the level of care is excellent. Our daughter is consistently happy, well looked after, and clearly thriving. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and caring hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Honeybees to other parents.

I cannot recommend HoneyBees & WildFlowers Nursery and Kindergarten enough! My two children are so happy here and genuinely look forward to their time with her every day. I was particularly worried about my Elizabeth, who has always found it very difficult to settle with anyone new. Amy was so patient, kind, and professional during those early days. Now, my little one absolutely loves going there! It’s such a weight off my mind knowing they are both safe, having fun, and so well cared for.
Thank you, Amy&Hayley 🥰

Both my children have attend Honeybees and they've absolutely loved it everytime! knowing Amy has an early years degree and lots of experience is comforting and you know that your child's learning and development needs are being met. She does some great creative play with my children. Amy always finds new ways to help the kids learn. She does some brilliant days out especially during school club that my Son loves going to!! Amy is amazing and so caring and loving with the kids and has some fantastic ideas
