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
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
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
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!
