Honeypot Under 5's Centre
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Weeton for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2022. Open since 1995, with 38 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Lancashire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lancashire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children arrive confident, happy and eagerly run into the nursery. Staff are welcoming and provide lots of reassuring smiles and hugs. Children form close relationships with staff and are keen to explore the very well-resourced, safe, warm and nurturing environment. Children's behaviour is very good. Staff have high expectations for the children in their care and provide them with constant encouragement and praise. For example, children are called 'super stars' for their efforts. This helps to boost their self-esteem and confidence in their abilities. In turn, children play harmoniously together, they share, take turns and use great manners. This helps them acquire the social skills required for their next stage of learning and in preparation for school.
Staff provide an exciting, stimulating play and learning environment that sparks children's curiosity and willingness to learn. Younger children show delight and become immersed in their exploration of filling, tipping and pouring water into jugs. Older children take part in creative activities. They exercise their finger and hand muscles as they confidently operate scissors to cut paper. Furthermore, they manipulate dough, adding a range of materials to their creations. This helps support children with their emerging literacy development and early writing skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the arrangements to manage group activities, taking into account children's age and abilities more effectively, to ensure that all children remain fully engaged in their learning n build on staff's understanding of how to extend children's communication skills and help them develop their language even further.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
