Honeybee

Outstanding care provided.

Claire and the team provide amazing care for my son, they go above and beyond to meet the needs of the children in their care. The setting is perfect, providing educational play,outdoor play and walks. I can not recommend Honey Bee enough, they care for my son as if he was family.

A really great setting

Claire and her team have adopted a wonderful approach to childcare. My daughter absolutely loves being there. They are very good at communicating and their day-to-day schedule is exciting and varied! She eats well, has made lots of friends and we are very grateful to have found honeybees!

Thank you! So glad your little one is so happy here! Claire

5* Care

My little one has been going to Claire and her team since she was 13 months and is thriving. She is always so happy to be there, comes home with lovely, personal gifts and creations and seems to pick up a lot being around the other children. It’s a really nice option if you want somewhere where your child will get more one-on-one with a sizeable dash of independence.

Thank you so much, so glad she is happy here and making progress! Claire

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!

My toddler has been going there since September last year. He was a very lonely child as he was not socialising with other kids due to the pandemic (almost 2 years of his life we were in lockdown) but him going there has made a huge difference and I can see an improvement on his speech and his skills every day. He is really happy going there in the morning and Claire has been great about every aspect of this new journey. Communication it's really good, she is always answering all my questions and my concern and she always has a good advice for me.
She goes above and beyond with all the activities they are doing and you can tell a lot of hard work goes into that. I will always have the Christmas bauble she made for us with David's photo and a string placed inside - same size as David's height at that time - she always does meaningful things like that.

Thank you. So glad your little one is making good progress. Claire

amazing!

My daughter has been going here for a month now and she absolutely loves it. She cannot wait to go in the morning and always comes out excited. Communication is excellent and I always feel up to date with how she is getting on. She is so much more confident and becoming such a clever little cookie! I couldn’t recommend Honeybeez enough. Claire is brilliant!

Thank you!

AMAZING

I looked around several nurseries and this one gave me the best vibe out of them all. The staff are welcoming and my little boy (who started at 7 months) took the them straight away! (And he wasn’t normally one to allow o here to look after him!) he’s come on so much since being here! He’s more sociable, vocal and loves learning new things. The care provided by the ladies who work here is fantastic. They provide updates and information regarding your child and the nursery continuously. 5* all around! Thank you so much.

So good my second boy also joined

I have had a wonderful experience with Honeybeez ever since we moved to Ripon in 2016. My oldest was just 20 months when he started and he is 42 months now. The second one started when he was 9 months and he is 17 months now. The only reason we are leaving is because my husband's job is taking us elsewhere. My kids really love it because Claire and her staff are so amazing and caring and they always look forward to going in the mornings, we are very sad to leave but we hope to find another setting as lovely and exciting as honeybeez. We love you Claire and Honeybeez and we will miss you all.

Fantastic setting

A friendly well equipped setting with a wide range of activities under the Montessori teaching ! Staff are highly qualified with years of experience and create a caring secure environment for the children.

I would highly recommend this setting to others!
