Garston Nursery
Honey Pot Garston is a purpose built two storey building, originally opened in April 2009. It is situated in the heart of Garston in South Liverpool. The building has been beautifully restored after the a fire broke out in May 2019 and was reopened in January 2020. The nursery is situated in close proximity to a range of bus stops and a train station. Children have access to a large outdoor space to the front and side of the building which includes a mud kitchen, climbing apparatus, a planting area and a bike track. Younger children have direct access to a baby garden, connected to their room to allow uninterrupted outdoor play for children. The children also have access to local parks within the vicinity which are visited as often as possible. Outings further afield are facilitated by the use of our two nursery minibuses.

Outdoors
All of our outdoor areas have been redeveloped to incorporate natural resources and physical development in outdoor play. A gardening teacher comes in weekly to plant and grow different plants and vegetables with the children. We have our own minibus that allows us to take children on trips further afield and takes children to forest school lessons weekly.
Here at Honey Pot Garston, we have a large garden area to the front of the building, as well as an additional baby garden. This allows children of all ages to have access to the garden in a safe environment during the day. The garden supports all seven areas of learning, so there are opportunities for the children to be physical, carry out mark-making, enhance their mathematical skills and much much more. The garden also features a mud kitchen supporting children’s holistic development. The bike track challenges children to exercise their gross motor skills and they are challenge to push themselves along on the bikes and develop the skill to pedal themselves.
