Team Honeybuns were recently treated to a celebration evening hosted by Action Medical Research. Raising over £12,000 for their London to Paris bike ride, the evening was a wonderful way to remember the ups and downs of their journey and celebrate with their fellow bikers. A fantastic achievement, well done!

Our ‘Class of 2017’ are really doing us proud! From one little ‘Honeybuns’ boy being the first person in his class to get a pen licence to another ‘Honeybuns’ boy getting ‘Star of the Week’ for being a wonderful role model and so helpful…plus we’ve been privileged to see on our Facebook page lots of happy faces at school.

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback over the last month from your school starters; our team really appreciate hearing from you.

As a small nursery group, word of mouth and online reviews are really important to us. They not only provide us with information to continuously improve, but they also help us to promote Honeybuns to other parents.
So, if you have a spare moment to provide an online review on daynurseries.co.uk, we would be extremely grateful.

We’re delighted to announce the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection at Stafford. Rated an overall judgement of ‘Good‘, the key findings are below:

• Management ensure that staff regularly observe children during their planned and spontaneous play times. Staff identify and plan for all children’s next steps in their learning. This helps to ensure that any gaps in children’s learning are swiftly closed. All children make good progress and develop the skills they need for the next phase of their learning.
• Staff are warm, caring and responsive to children’s immediate needs. They use meaningful praise, are positive role models and help children to learn about rules and boundaries of behaviour.
• Children demonstrate close emotional attachments with the staff. They develop strong friendships with one another and demonstrate empathy as they show care, take turns and share the resources well. Outcomes for children are good.
• Staff build positive relationships with other providers and schools. This helps to ensure a shared approach for all children’s care and learning throughout the nursery. This also promotes children’s readiness for the next phase in their learning and their eventual move to school.

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the parents who took the time to speak to Ofsted on the day of the inspection. Thank you for your continued support.

A team of four budding cyclists and enthusiastic fundraisers from Honeybuns Nursery Group joined the annual Action ‘London to Paris’ bike ride alongside 90 other cyclists riding from London to Paris between 19-23 July 2017.

Beginning at Crystal Palace, this challenge took the Honeybuns team through the beautiful and rolling countryside of Kent down to the white cliffs of Dover. The team then crossed by ferry to Calais and followed the quiet routes through Northern France, enjoying rolling landscapes, quaint villages and historic towns down into Paris for the finish.

The ride – which culminated at the Eifel Tower on the final day of the 2017 Tour de France – raised over £160,000 for Action Medical Research.

Honeybuns Nursery Group Owner, Anthony Reeley who headed the team of cyclists said: “What an amazing feeling! We’ve cycled nearly 400 miles enduring every possible weather condition over the 4 days, but what a wonderful achievement! We’ve helped raise over £11,000 for our charity partner and had an incredible adventure. I couldn’t be prouder of the team and the Staff at the Nurseries who have made a fantastic effort in fundraising alongside us.’’

Head of Events for the charity Emma Morgan said: “We really cannot thank everyone who took part in this ride enough. The atmosphere was just amazing thanks to the infectious enthusiasm from all of the cyclists!”

The Honeybuns team will continue to raise money for their charity partner over the next 12 months with a programme of on-going activities and fun events for the parents and children alongside Team Challenges, all of which are designed to work with the local community.
