   We have been using this nursery for the last 5 years and have one child that has now left for school and one still there. Our experience with the nursery has been amazing and we are very thankful for the school readiness that they provided to my eldest, he settled straight into school. They both developed so much whilst also having a lovely time with their friends and have always been happy to go to the Hunny Bear. We have always felt happy handing them over knowing that they will be safe, happy and well cared for. All the staff are amazing and we feel we made the best decision when choosing this nursery!

   We couldn’t be happier with the care and development our daughter has received at Hunny Bear Day Nursery. Starting in the baby room and now transitioning to preschool, every step of her journey here has been outstanding. The staff are incredibly caring, supportive, and dedicated—not just to the children but to the parents as well. It’s clear that they genuinely love what they do, creating a nurturing and engaging environment that has helped our daughter thrive. The team has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure her individual needs are met, fostering her confidence, learning, and social skills. We truly couldn’t have picked a better nursery and are so grateful for everything they’ve done for our family. Highly recommend!

   I cannot praise The Hunny Bear highly enough! Since enrolling my child here, I have seen remarkable growth in their social skills, and overall development. The staff are incredibly warm, caring, and professional, ensuring that each child feels welcomed and valued. The facilities are top- notch, with a wide range of educational toys and materials that keep the children engaged and stimulated. I love that there is a different theme each week. The indoor and outdoor play areas are meticulously maintained, providing a safe and fun environment for all activities. The curriculum is well- instructed, incorporating a balance of play- based learning and educational activities that foster critical thinking and creativity. Communication with parents is fantastic- I receive regular updates on my child's progress, upcoming events, and any changes in the schedule. The staffs commitment to fostering a supportive and nurturing environment is evident in everything they do. Overall, The Hunny Bears Whetstone is a wonderful place for any young child to begin their educational journey. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing l, stimulating, and safe nursery for their little one.

   My little boy has attended the Hunny Bear from 7 months old, all the way up to him starting school this year. Throughout his time there, he progressed so well and that was down to the staff within the rooms. There was a lot of worry as he started nursery during Covid but the app made it so much easier for me to leave him as I got updates throughout the day about how he’d been getting on as well as lots of photos. It really was a home from home and the staff cared for him like their own. I was even impressed at how well he developed his name writing and phonics skills, which showed when starting school this year! I can’t wait to start sending him to the holiday club too as he is looking forward to coming again.

   My daughter has been attending The Hunny Bear since she was one and absolutely loves it. Her development came on so quickly once she attended and has continued to do so. The staff in each room she has been in have been so supportive and caring, we can tell they really want the best for her. The staff and management have also always been really helpful and proactive when we’ve needed support or questions. We will be sending our second daughter when she turns one too as we know she will be so well cared for.

   Number of reasons why I disliked this place. They never seemed bothered. My child is three and toilet trained but of course when playing he may need reminding time to time, he'd 9/10 come out with wet pants even though he was only there for 3 hours. On hot days they'd come out gasping for a drink. On days when it was raining or had rained they'd be outside on the slide. I picked him up one day and he was absolutely drenched. His coat and trousers were so wet they hadn't dried after being in the dryer for 2 hours! He was ill all weekend as well after that. No apology. They just said that they experience all weather's. I've moved him from here now but I just don't the there is enough experience there.

   The staff here are amaizing. I was always unsure about leaving my children in a nursery, but i now put both of my children in Hunny Bear, i always get communication about what is going on, change that occur, how my children are getting on and an email with a film of my children's progress over each term. This is a great, clean, well organised and well ran nursery. The best thing is i know my children are well look after.
