Butterfly Day Nursery

The Butterfly Day Nursery has a long history of being a very friendly and caring nursery. My son has settled well, he had never really been left before but he had a good period of settling in and the staff really helped him enjoy his time.
Each child has a key person and they really spend time finding out about the children and their home routines, I felt well informed about how my child was doing and the flow of information was excellent. The online learning journal is very helpful and means I can add my own observations and photographs showing his interests at home.
The food is cooked fresh every day by an onsite chef.
The staff have a good knowledge of my child’s likes and dislikes and I can freely read what the key person has planned for him and why. This gives me the opportunity to ask questions and continue things at home.
All the staff are very friendly and will always help or answer questions no matter which room they are in, this is very reassuring.

Our children always love and loved going to nursery. The staff are extremely caring and lovely, they provide great support for the children's development and support the parents e.g. with potty training, speech development of their child etc. The management has very much improved compared to when we started 3.5 years ago. We are always recommending this nursery.

Our daughter has been at Butterfly Day Nursery for 3 months and despite being unsettled initially, she is now having a lovely time thanks to the staff. We get regular updates from her key person and online with some great photos of her playing. She has become much more adventurous and sociable since going to nursery. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The children have access to outdoor space and they do use it regularly - weather permitting! We are very happy leaving our daughter at Butterfly Day Nursery.

Our son started at the nursery about four months ago and he's really enjoyed it since day one. The staff are supportive and caring, run a wide range of activities for the children, and keep us well informed both in person and by the written daily reports and online learning site. Meals are cooked on-site, are varied and our son enjoys them which is the most important thing.

I highly recommend Butterfly Day Nursery, I have 2 children in the nursery and they are both very happy there.

The baby unit is great, the staff is very friendly and caring. The exchange of information is good and on a daily basis.

The pre-school unit is excellent, the staff there is great and they all really care for the children. The activities are diverse and include yoga and dancing class.

The nursery is very welcoming, and very supportive, especially for international children. My 3-year-old starts attending the nursery without speaking English at all, but amazingly the staff was communicating with her very well and helped her settle in smoothly.
Very good nursery in a good location.

My child has been attending Butterfly Day Nursery for about 15 months now and has always been very happy there. We had no trouble settling in. Have always been made very welcome and are always greeted with a smile. It is a very friendly, caring and loving environment with lots of different stimuli for the children. There is good communication between the staff and the parents with a daily exchange of information, as well as an on-line system with regular updates and photos.
Food is prepared on the premises and the menu is very diverse and uses seasonal ingredients.

Lovely, small, independent nursery in a city centre location. The staff are friendly and really care about the children. The food is cooked by an on-site chef.
A good online feedback system between nursery and parents is in place and regularly updated.

Our child attends this nursery for 2.5 years. The team and staff are excellent - they are extremely supportive and caring and they give guidance and comfort to parents as well. My child loves being part of the environment, which is positive and nourishing. We can see how much the child is developing different skills. There is a good communication, concerns are addressed appropriately, and parents are informed about daily activities in person and via an online platform. The playground is small but they do make the most of it; they also take the kids to the nearby park and excursions. They offer yoga to all, and language and dancing classes. Food is cooked on the premises - our little one is eating it all up. There is new management as of this year, and we see improvements in terms of clarifying policies and communication - it is too early to give an overall rating. The owner could be more present and available to discuss policies with parents, including those affecting fees and attendance.

My daughter had difficulty in settling when she was 7 months and we sent her back when she turned 20 months, Butterfly Day Nursery took her back with all the kindness and friendliness I could expect and helped her settle with ease within a week. The caregivers are very responsible and take care of the children with such great care that we are very grateful. We get daily reports, we could view progress on line, and we could reach out to the manager very easily. We would recommend this day nursery without hesitation.
