Review of Butterfly Nursery from Sally W (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. The staff are absolutely wonderful - caring, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to the children in their care. They go above and beyond every day to create a warm, nurturing, and welcoming environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to grow. The staff take such an interest in every family unit and the kids all get on like one big happy family!

It's clear how much passion and effort the team puts into everything they do, and the level of care and attention they provide is truly exceptional. We feel so reassured knowing our child is in such capable and caring hands. A fantastic nursery with an amazing team!

Review of Hilltop Nursery from Dorota D (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a mum, I couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are caring, friendly, and genuinely invested in the children's development and wellbeing. My child settled in quickly and looks forward to going every day, which gives me great peace of mind.

The nursery provides a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment with a wide range of engaging activities that support learning through play. I have seen a noticeable improvement in my child's confidence, social skills, and independence since attending.

Communication with parents is excellent, and the team always keeps me informed about my child's progress and daily activities. I truly appreciate the dedication and professionalism of everyone at the nursery.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive place where their child can thrive.

Review of Hilltop Nursery from Emily S (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Hilltop nursery is a huge part of our family. Our third has just joined and his settling process has been so supportive and caring. Our second is soon to leave and will miss all the staff dearly.
Our eldest still comes in on pick up to say hello to everyone and be welcomed back in.

The outside space is faultless now, the organisation and ease of contacting the staff alongside the daily reports and photos are always gratefully received.

Review of Butterfly Nursery from Ellie C (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Staff at Butterfly Nursery really go above and beyond for children in their care. My daughter has been there since she was 11months old she is now 2 and has learned so much, she's grown so confident and comes home talking about her day and the great activities that the nursery do. She absolutely loves the food at nursery and will eat it all.

Everyone at Butterfly are so kind, welcoming and will always try and help with any needs or enquiries that I have. I have now put my 1 year old into the same nursery due to how much the staff at butterfly care about the children.

Review of Butterfly Nursery from Holly T (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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

Review of Hilltop Nursery from I N (Grandfather of Child) published on 22 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review of Butterfly Nursery from N L (Father of Child) published on 8 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review of Butterfly Nursery from T S (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.
