Honeybear Nursery

Everybody has their own experience and in my family’s case, our’s was a terrible experience. The staff come across as miserable and looked as though they wanted to be anywhere else.
Nothing was ever clear, if you asked a question it was “umm, I’ll go check” and you would be stood waiting at the door, sometimes in terrible weather. My son once came home with defecation in his underpants and was very red and sore he was very upset when my wife changed him and cleaned him up. On another occasion, he came home with a bite mark and when my wife asked about that, the staff member seemed surprised

My Son attends this Nursery and we could not be happier with the care and education he receives. The manager and staff are all fantastic. They know him really well and I'm pretty sure he prefers being at nursery to being at home with us, he has that much fun.
Throughout covid they have remained a lifeline for our family. The Nursery Director was in the Nursery everyday, working with the staff and she has always been approachable and smiley.
Communication is great with the staff which is more important than ever. The Nursery is well organised and managed and its clear when you see the staff that

I don't usually post reviews on here as I feel they are very often not reliable and from questionable sources. I felt I needed to disagree with the most recent review however as it is slanderous and potentially very damaging to a local buisness doing their best in extremely difficult times. My son attends this nursery and he is happy, loved and well cared for. He often comes home mucky because he is bursting with stories of searching for the gruffalo, finding worms and making mud cakes! I find the team honest, caring and approachable and receive frequent updates and communication face to face,

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Our baby has settled wonderfully at Honeybear and is absolutely thriving. There is such a friendly, home from home feel and the staff go above and beyond for the children and the parents. We would highly recommend.

We are very satisfied with the team of Honeybear in Gatley – we find them excellent across the board. Our son has been attending Honeybear for over a year and he really likes to go to the nursery, every single time. He likes all his carers and talks often about how he is playing with the other kids and how much he loves his carers. He has acquired many new skills at nursery, such as social skills, tidying up etc. The staff are always encouraging our son to be kind and they teach him how to interact with his peers in a positive way (e.g. sharing toys). Ahead of the arrival of his baby sister,

This nursery is not one I would recommend. They do not act on complaints pertaining to safeguarding and treat parents like they are a hindrance rather than as a valued customer or as a human being.
What is quite laughable is that these reviews for this setting are written by staff and family members of the owner none of them are factual. They are all fiction written as a marketing tactic. The owner is a very abrupt woman who never had the common decency to even say good morning. The staff knowledge is questionable and the communication is seriously lacking and requires a great deal of improvement

Honeybear Nursery has been my absolute life line, from a baby right up to breakfast and after school club my son attended this home from home nursery. Not only did i feel the genuine care for my son but i felt it as a parent too, no problem to big or too small i would highly recommend to anyone who wants that family feeling.......your not just a number with Honeybears, my son has now left but still talks about his fun times and the girls all still say hello when we pass!

It's a shame to see the fake competitor reviews below, because this is a great nursery. I've seen quite a few nurseries in Greater Manchester and this is not one of the bad ones! The staff are lovely and they are great with the kids.

If you love your child and want the best for them - AVOID THIS NURSERY.
