Honeybuns Nursery in Telford welcomed over 200 children, families and guests this weekend to the grand opening of their new nursery on Whitchurch Road, Wellington.

The Honeybuns Nursery Group have invested over £1 million in the new premises, a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian building which has been sympathetically restored with stunning, spacious rooms offering an exciting, safe and engaging learning environment both indoors and outdoors. A striking orangery has been installed creating direct access to a delightful enclosed outdoor play area, to enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise. The outdoor environment has been divided into safe secure play zones for babies, toddlers and pre-school children to enjoy. Children will benefit from the sand and water area, a nature zone, an outdoor shelter with picnics tables, along with climbing frames and pedalling toys on their all weather play surface. The 0-2 age group have their own dedicated outdoor play area with a soft surface. They have also ensured ample car parking for parents along with a pushchair shed and bike stands.

Nursery Group Owner, Anthony Reeley says “It has been a long 15 months of hard work, but we are extremely proud and overwhelmed with our new nursery and we can’t wait for the children to join us on 20^th February when we open our doors. This relocation is the culmination of a fantastic 12 months for us. A superb Ofsted Report in October last year praising our managers and their team, this new building is an exciting new progressive development which has offered us a great opportunity to continue providing the children with outstanding care and education.”

Honeybuns Nurseries are proud to announce their new nursery in Telford is opening its doors and welcoming children from Monday 20th February 2017. Currently situated within the grounds of Princess Royal Hospital, the move will take them just a few hundred metres from their current building, to a new purpose designed development in Whitchurch Road, Welllington.

Parents should now have received their letter regarding Telford’s relocation plans.

The team at Honeybuns Nursery are looking forward to a very exciting 2017. We are delighted to announce that Honeybuns is relocating to a new site early 2017.

Situated just a few hundred metres from our current Nursery, the former Grove Hotel at 17 Whitchurch Rd is a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian building. We have invested over £1 million to date and the building has offered us an amazing prospect to plan and design a bespoke nursery to provide your child with outstanding care and education.

Our new nursery has been restored in keeping with many of its original features with stunning, spacious rooms offering an exciting, safe and engaging learning environment both indoors and outdoors. The rooms have been designed to ensure that they are age appropriate and meet the development needs of each individual child. A stunning orangery has been installed creating direct access to a beautiful enclosed outdoor play area, to enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise. The outdoor environment will be divided into safe secure play zones for pre-school children and toddlers to enjoy. Children will have the opportunity to play with sand and water, explore nature and planting in our nature zone, enjoy a picnic in our outdoor shelter, along with climbing and pedalling a variety of toys on our all weather play surface. Babies will have their own dedicated outdoor play area with soft surface and access to a wide range of toys and suitable activities.

Safety is always paramount at Honeybuns, we have installed CCTV in each room to enable nursery manager to monitor each area at all times. Entry to the nursery will be by intercom to each area operating a family password system. We have also ensured ample car parking for parents along with a pushchair shed and bike stands.

We hope that the move to our new nursery will take place over a weekend in February with minimal disruption to the children, ensuring that the staff will be there to welcome the children into their new nursery environment. Their play equipment, resources and familiar artwork will be in place to ensure a smooth and welcoming transition for the children, whilst maintaining our high standards of care.

We are really excited for you to see your new nursery building and will be hosting a number of open events early January 2017. Our nursery website and Facebook page will be kept updated with all the latest news and we will of course keep you informed on proposed dates as soon as confirmed.

If you have any queries regarding the relocation, please do not hesitate to speak to one of our nursery team, they will be happy to answer your questions.

Kind Regards

Alison Shipton

Director of Care, Honeybuns Nurseries
