Review of The Butterfly Patch South Norwood from X M (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with Butterflies. From day one, Sonia has been incredibly supportive, making the settling-in process feel like a real partnership. Her reassurance, kindness and communication have made such a difference.

The entire team is absolutely wonderful, caring and genuinely dedicated to every child. The personalised updates throughout the day give us so much reassurance, and it's clear how much love and attention every child receives.

Seeing such a happy, nurturing environment has taken a huge weight off our shoulders. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Butterflies. Thank you for everything you do!

Review of The Butterfly Patch Hampton Court from Kamaljit B (Grandmother of Child) published on 17 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding care, support and dedication shown by everyone at this nursery towards my granddaughters Amaya and Amrita.

From the moment they joined the nursery, the dedicated staff provided a warm, safe and nurturing environment where both girls have flourished. It is evident that every member of the team

Is passionate about supporting children in early years and helping them develop the confidence, skills and independence they need for the future.

The progress I have witnessed in both girls have been remarkable. Their communication skills creativity social
Interaction and confidence has grown significantly during their time at the nursery.

As a proud grandmother I cannot speak highly enough of the impact this nursery has had on Amaya and Amrita. The care education and encouragement they have received have helped them grow into happy confident and inquisitive young girls. Thank you everyone

Review of The Butterfly Patch Cobham from J L (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been going to the Butterfly Patch since he's been 6 month old, now almost 4 years. I can't praise this nursery highly enough, the staff is so caring and he loves going there. I really like that they have increased the frequency of outings which gives the children the opportunity of experiencing the woods and awareness of going for walks. Every day is different and that' s what I like about this nursery. Thank you so much!

Review of The Butterfly Patch Cobham from E S (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We chose the Butterfly Patch due to it's more intimate set up - it feels more home from home rather than a school type setting. The team are really close knit and they have great engagement and rapport with the kids. My son absolutely loves going to nursery and feels so comfortable when he's there. The Forest School outings are amazing and the children are always engaging with new and exciting activities.

My daughter recently joined the nursery and the transition has been extremely smooth.
Her settling in sessions were well considered and tailored to her schedule and personality, enabling her to feel comfortable and confident in her new setting.

It has allowed me to return to work happily knowing that she is in the best hands!

Review of The Butterfly Patch Cobham from Lucy F (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The Butterfly Patch Cobham is the best nursery for my child. The staff are warm, caring and supportive, which is incredibly important as a parent. They create a genuine family-like atmosphere where both children and parents feel welcomed and valued.
Communication between the team and parents is excellent. I am always informed promptly about anything important, and the daily handovers are thorough, with staff taking the time to discuss my child's day. The app is regularly updated with information and photos, and the pictures are always wonderful to see.
The learning environment is safe, clean, and well organised. The learning opportunities provided are exceptional, and I am often amazed by the creative and engaging activities the team comes up with.

There is honestly nothing negative I can say about The Butterfly Patch Cobham. I would highly recommend the nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, inspiring and supportive environment for their child.

Review of The Butterfly Patch Hampton Court from R A (Father of Child) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started at Butterfly Patch Hampton Court when he was 3 years old, and as he prepares to leave for big school, I couldn't be more grateful for the experience he's had.

The transition from being at home to nursery can be daunting, but the staff made him feel safe, loved, and confident from day one. Over the last few years, I have watched his personality bloom and his confidence soar. The staff genuinely care about each individual child, and it shows in everything they do. He is leaving not just ready for school, but with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to the whole team!

Our son has been attending Butterfly Patch for just over a year and loves being there. He always comes home with a smile and enjoys a great mix of development, learning and play.

The nursery provides great foundations for growth and we have seen him develop so much, and gain so much confidence since he started attending.

Review of The Butterfly Patch South Norwood from Michelle C (Mother of Child) published on 13 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
What can I say! Totally outstanding nursery. I visited roughly eight and this one stood out from the moment I walked through the door. With the right mix of professionalism and family friendly vibe offering a caring environment with fun, structure and educational growth. They have given our family so much! Peace of mind and needed support as we navigate our lives. Sonia said they were there to make our lives easier and they have been true to their word. Our daughter is so happy and we are guilt free!

Thank you to Sonia, Rachel & Sevim and all the other staff

Overall Experience

Child loves attending nursery, and has grown so much since starting. The staff nurture their interests and encourage new ones and facilitate great social development. In less than a year my child has become a proper sociable, curious toddler and that's got a lot to with the staff and culture at the nursery.

Review of The Butterfly Patch Hampton Court from R M (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 12m old daughter has thrived under the individual care and attention of the friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff. The baby room is homely and the activities they undertake are themed weekly, with progressive learning outcomes appropriate for their age. When I first looked around, I was concerned about the lack of garden facilities, but the daily outings are fantastic, and the children go out in all weathers to spend time outdoors and I am satisfied that my child gets all she needs.
My daughter has built in confidence and loves going to nursery, and I have really valued the support provided as a parent navigating the return to work for the first time.

Recent changes to their fee structure make this nursery very good value for money.

Nothing but great things to say here! My daughter absolutely loves the food, the staff, and the fact that she is out in nature so much of the time! (When and if weather permits). The staff are very kind, friendly and supportive, cater to whatever request if within their means, and always provide timely feedback and photos!

Review of The Butterfly Patch Cobham from Mathilde D (Mother of Child) published on 16 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Words cannot describe the amazing environment and care provided by the whole team at Butterfly Patch Cobham. Our son has been attending this nursery since he was 8 month old and is now ready to start into the preschool section this month.
We are seeing him thriving in his learning and development and couldn't thank the whole team enough for their work and contribution to this. They encourage the children to discover the world around them and always have very creative ideas for crafts, baking, forest outings, and lovely attentions for each calendar events of the year. We are definitively sure that we made the best choice for a good start in school life and are convinced that the team's care is forging healthy and strong foundations.

This nursery feels like an extended part of our family and we would forever be grateful for the team's work and care they provide to our children. Huge thank you to all of the team of Butterfly Patch Cobham for your exceptional care!

Review of The Butterfly Patch Morden Park Forest School and Nursery from Elaine C (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending the Nursery for nearly 2 years - since he turned two. The staff have been fantastic from the start.
My son has Down Syndrome and is still non talking. I am teaching him to communicate using Makaton. The staff fully embraced this, especially Kim, who has been a true advocate - she has learnt Makaton and attended many courses to ensure he can communicate with them and feel comfortable and happy at Nursery. Kim gives detailed communication, both verbal and written about my son's progress and targets. Wow moments and photos are regularly added on the app.
All the staff are caring, warm and truly dedicated to the children. They have helped with his development and confidence in so many ways.
He loves being at Nursery and always signs friends and fun before we go and is full of smiles at the end of the day.

I am extremely happy that I chose The Butterfly Patch.

Review of The Butterfly Patch Sutton (at Avenue Primary) from J D (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have a 3.5 year old in the older classroom and a 9 month in the baby room and the staff are incredible. My children struggled to settle at the start but Kira, Jemma and Leanne have been amazing. They have come up with helpful things we can do at home to help with drop off. They are always so quick to reply to any messages and questions we have. He loves Jemma and Kira and is always talking about the fun things they do. They have also been amazing at letting him go outside in the morning if he is upset in order to get some fresh air and calm down which we also now do at home.

Would 100% recommend this nursery.

Our son is so happy every day when I drop and collect him from The Butterfly Patch. He is developing so well, from social skills to vocabulary. He loves all the activities he does, such as singing, arts and crafts and walks out in Cobham. The funding also makes this place affordable for us. The staff are so friendly and great at communication. Highly recommend.
