The Butterfly Team has been absolutely wonderful for my son. The setting is beautiful, with so many creative play opportunities for the children to explore – from moon sand and playing with ice on hot days, to enjoying the rain and everything in between. The staff are so attentive and truly aligned with each child’s individual needs, showing genuine care and dedication. They teach kindness and respect, encourage independence, and create such a positive, inclusive atmosphere. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
Our daughter absolutely loves Butterfly's nursery. The staff are so kind and attentive and have worked closely with us to make sure our daughter's needs are met. We love that she's always getting involved in all the activities, regardless of being a little younger and starting before she could move! It's lovely knowing our daughter is having the best time exploring, learning, and playing. We would recommend butterfly's in a heartbeat!
Fantastic nursery: both my children (one still there, one now school-age) have had brilliant experiences here with caring, nurturing staff who are wonderful with the children and very good at communicating with parents both giving details about the children's day and listening to parents re children's needs, etc. My children were/are so happy at Butterfly. They both made/have made lovely little friends and adored the staff.
My daughter has attended this wonderful nursery since she was just 9 months old, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better start to her early years. The staff have always been incredible, so caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I’ve always felt completely confident that she’s safe, happy, and well looked after.
She’s now moved on to school but still attends for wraparound care, which she absolutely loves. A true testament to how much she adores the team and the environment they’ve created. I also really appreciate the variety of experiences they offer, like forest school and beach trips. Such amazing opportunities that make her time there even more special. Thank you all for everything you do!
I was initially nervous about putting my 1 year old into nursery at such a young age. But it is the best thing I did. My boy absolutely loves Butterfly Nursery! And the careers and management are absolutely amazing. So warm, welcoming and loving. I know my baby boy is in good hands with them. Can't thank them enough
My son currently goes to Butterfly Nursery and he absolutely loves it there.
The staff are amazing and have never had a problem. Communication between staff and parents is amazing and always happy to answer any questions or queries I have.
They do lots of messy play, trips out, interactive play and lots more.
My daughter will be starting in November and can’t wait for to love it as much as my son does.
Very highly recommended this nursery!
Both my children have been and still go here. I have no bad words to say. Safe, secure and both have loved every minute of it. Can't speak more highly of this nursery. We look around at local nurseries within 10 mile radius and none gave me more reassurance. This reassurance has been evidenced over 7 years.
My child has absolutely loved going to butterfly’s and has enjoyed every minute. Really nice staff and care setting highly recommend :)
