Hello, we're Five + Honey!

Five busy bees, one golden retriever and lots of little imaginations!

So, where did the name come from?

We're a family of five, plus our much loved golden retriever, Honey! Together, we're Five + Honey.

What started as a little family idea has grown into something we're all incredibly excited about. A small, family run business inspired by our love of play, creativity and making memories together.

A little about us...

Our background is firmly rooted in early years and education. With years of experience in teaching, running our own childcare setting and supporting other educators with planning, resources and play based learning, we've seen first hand just how powerful play can be.

We believe that children learn best when they're curious, engaged and free to explore in their own way. We're passionate about creating opportunities for hands-on, imaginative and inclusive play that encourages children to discover, experiment and develop at their own pace.

Little makers, big imaginations!

But most importantly, we're parents to three wonderful children who have grown up surrounded by creativity, play and plenty of big ideas!

Our three little entrepreneurs wanted to be part of something special, and Five + Honey became our opportunity to build something together as a family.

From helping us dream up new ideas and choosing colours to getting involved in creating and preparing our products, they're very much at the heart of what we do.

Through our sensory collections, educational resources, playful creations and personalised gifts, we hope to bring a little of that same magic into other homes, classrooms and early years settings.

We're not a big company. We're a family with a passion for play, three enthusiastic little helpers, one very loved dog and lots of ideas waiting to come to life.

Thank you for supporting our little hive. Every order means so much to our family, and we can't wait to see where this adventure takes us!

With love,

The Five + Honey Family 🍯

Little makers, big imaginations.
