Honeypot provides long day care for children aged 2 months - 5 years, and is licensed for 29 places. The service prioritizes students of UNSW, and the Long Day care service is open to UNSW students and staff.

HISTORY

Honeypot has a proud history of student activism -it opened at the beginning of 1992 by a couple of student parents who were frustrated by the lack of child care spaces available on campus. They recognised that child care was an equity and access issue, and set about establishing a centre which provided affordable, good quality child care.

Honeypot is staffed by trained and/or experienced child care professionals who plan and implement developmentally appropriate programs each week, based on individual observations of each child's progress.

The centre is located in a purpose built facility which includes a separate Nursery, and Toddler/Preschool room, and is designed to provide a warm, welcoming and stimulating environment for children and parents
