Butterfly Nursery

from Holly T (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2025
Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children attended Butterfly Nursery.
My son has just left for school, I cannot fault Butterflys, from start to finish they were incredible with both my children.
The care provided by every member of the team was so special my children never wanted to miss a day and went in and came out
with big smiles and stories about all the fun stuff they had done.
Every part of their needs were met and it was a sad day when we had to say goodbye.
The garden and play area is great, education provided was brilliant and care was fantastic

The hilltop nursery is a special place for my grandson. He has been going there for nearly two years come October 2023. Lately, all the Hilltop staff have been extra supportive and informative, with emergency family issues of mine lately, they have stepped up and gone above and beyond in there professional
approach, my grandson has to go too extra sessions at the nursery at the moment , and just by him going in, with a spring in his step every morning, says enough in his actions of going in with not a care in the world....we salute you Hilltop nursery. Thank you very much indeed.

We've been at the nursery for about a month, and so far it's been a really positive experience. My son loves going. His key person, is warm and caring. The whole team is supportive, and communication is fast and clear. The environment is safe, well-organized, and the outdoor space is especially great.
We're very happy so far!

Both my son and daughter have attended Butterfly with my daughter currently still attending. My son loved it at Butterfly and that was 5 years ago and my daughter who has attended since around 10 months also adores it there. She cannot wait to go to nursery and always has a great time. She loves getting
messy and Butterfly has a great range of outdoor space which includes mud and puddles which she loves. She loves the food and always asks for more! Every day is fun for her at Butterfly.

My son has been going to Butterfly Nursery since he was 11 months old and I am very please with the care he has received. He enjoys his time at Butterfly Nursery and has learnt so much since joining. Thanks to the staff members who spend lots of time nourishing and supporting his development and care
for him like their own. I also enjoy getting regular updates from the app and feedback at the end of each day. Lastly the range of hot meals they receive is great! Thank you Butterfly!

Wonderful Nursery Experience. Both of my children have attended Butterfly Nursery, and they truly enjoyed their time there, often sharing positive stories about their day. The staff members are friendly and welcoming. Even though my children are picky eaters at home, they seem to try and enjoy a variety
of foods at nursery. The nursery offers engaging activities, and my boys frequently come home with impressive art projects. Communication with the managers and staff is excellent; they are always available to address my questions, no matter how big or small. Overall, I am very satisfied with my choice of nursery for my boys, as I believe it has supported their growth into confident children, ready for the next step at school.

Excellent nursery. My daughter joined a few months ago after her previous nursery was suspended. She absolutely loves Butterfly Nursery and is in the preschool group and still has another year to go as not quite of the age for school. We get regular updates, lots of photos, and information about what's
happening in the nursery. She's learnt so much in a short period of time and recognising letter sounds and numbers with ease. staff have been incredible, very caring, and affectionate. Absolutely no problems whatsoever, and my daughter loves going and asks to go on her days that she's not due to be in!

My child is always positive about his day and his experiences with the different nursery workers. He is able to recite lots of songs and talks about the toys he's played with and the books he's read. He is always happy, cheerful and very comfortable going in every morning. We're kept well informed of
any bumps and bruises he might get. We're very pleased to have found Butterfly nursery.

My granddaughter has been attending the nursery now for 3 years and the whole experience has been so positive. The whole team are caring and compassionate. I always feel I am leaving her in a safe and caring environment and the regular updates throughout the day on the app are so reassuring. It has
been an overwhelmingly positive experience and i would recommend the nursery to anyone. This experience has set my granddaughter up for school and im so grateful to every member of staff.

I honestly couldn't be happier with Rainbow nursery, all the staff are so friendly and it feels more of a family vibe. My child loves spending time there and on the days where he doesn't want to leave me (and it's only me, he walks in without looking back for anyone else who drops him off) they deal
with it so well and make me feel so much better. I feel he is fully supported and so well cared for.

My daughter has attended Rainbow Nursery since she was 2 years old. We are grateful for the wonderful care you'll have provided for our child .

Absolutely brilliant nursery. Caring staff, well managed, our children have been so happy there, can't ask for any more and they have learnt so much. Wonderful outdoor space, especially love that the kids get to play in the mud and they are so happy about it!

Thank you for such a lovely review. The team are constantly trying to improve the experience for the children. The mud kitchen is part of the nursery's personality and a place of learning, chatter and giggles!

Our child has the absolute best time here. She's always rushing us out of the house to get to nursery. The food looks great. The staff are all so friendly. Even after a couple of years, she's still loving it! Would definitely recommend.

The staff at butterfly nursery are always smiley, warm and supportive. Management are friendly and approachable with quick response times to questions. I enjoy receiving snapshot updates of my son's time at nursery. My son loves being part of the Butterfly Nursery family, he talks fondly of the staff
and his friends there. I feel he is safe and very well cared for.

Our son has been at Rainbow Nursery for nearly 3 years now. During this period, our son has gone through a range of issues relating to his health, and the nursery staff have been unbelievable throughout it all. We honestly don’t know how we’d have got through without them. The staff are attentive, friendly,
understanding and have gone way beyond their call of duty. I would recommend this nursery to any prospective parent.

Both my children, aged almost 4 and almost 1, currently attend Hilltop Nursery. My son who has been going for 2 years absolutely loves going here and asks "Is it nursery today?" most days! My daughter who started when she was 9 months has settled in well, all the staff have been so nurturing and adaptive
to both their needs. We get frequent updates on how they have been and lots of pictures. Communication between the staff and myself has been excellent both in person or via the app. All the staff here are fantastic and I do not hesitate to leave my children with them. They spend lots of time outside whatever the weather and they love getting muddy and learning through messy outdoor play! I would 100% recommend this nursery- It is fantastic and I will be sad when the nursery days are over.
