Blue Butterfly is an absolutely fantastic nursery. My daughter has been there for almost 2 years and my second child will be starting soon. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, dedicated and knowledgeable team. My daughter is making great progress, she is always being challenged and comes home to
tell me all the wonderful things she has done in her day.
The nursery goes over and above to meet the needs of the children and parents. They post timely updates on their app about the children’s day at nursery as well as pictures, videos and assessments. Furthermore, they have regular parents’ evenings where you meet the team discuss your child’s progress and see the space.
Whenever I have contacted the nursery, which is very regularly, they have always gotten back to me in a timely and professional manner, doing the utmost to meet my requests.
I highly recommend Blue Butterfly to any parent, most importantly they ensure my child is happy and safe every time they are there!

Our daughter has been attending the nursery for a little over a year. She is flourishing there and we are grateful to the hardworking, dedicated and knowledgeable staff at Blue Butterfly Pinner. We are sending our other baby in this year and we are really looking forward to her coming home excited to
tell us the great things she’s been doing like her big sister does. We’re grateful to the management who answer queries immediately, even on weekends - really useful for working parents - and the room staff that really listen to parents and children’s needs. A very nurturing place.. we’d recommend

Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner) is an exceptional nursery striving for and achieving very high standards of nursery care. The activities are engaging, fun and educational. The staff are lovely and genuinely care for the health and wellbeing of my children. Feedback on my children is great and the
nursery has managed the whole COVID situation very well. My twins go in happy and always leave happy - so what more can I ask for. They (my twins) have definitely flourished at Blue Butterfly.

My daughter has had no settling issues, the staff and key workers she has had have created the best possible environment. She started off as a fussy eater at 11 months and now eats all the meals at the nursery. The meals are also of high quality, freshly prepared and varied. I highly rate the food provided
to the children here.
The extracurricular activities, as well as daily activities, are appropriate at every stage. Blue Butterfly provided a great foundation for her learning and development. My daughter has been very happy here, therefore happy mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter joined Blue Butterfly during Covid, so it was difficult to judge the nursery with the pivots and strains everyone had to adhere to at that time. I must say since restrictions have eased, I am incredibly pleased with my daughter’s learning through Montessori practices. There is an excellent
app communication tool that keeps us up to date on every aspect of her learning. The meals are vegetarian and healthy, which is nice because we eat meat at home, and it’s a great balance for her. Her key worker and other workers take a genuine interest in her welfare and progress, but more importantly, for us, her all-around general happiness. As a former teacher, I’m interested in education, but at that age, I’m even more interested in her having fun and exploring new relationships. Blue Butterfly is excellent in this respect. I wish she had attended this school earlier, and it’s testament to the fact they are always full with a waiting list that this is the best nursery.

Our little lockdown baby has settled in so well to the nursery. We were expecting her to take a while to transition but the fantastic staff in the baby room gave her so much reassurance, gained her trust and formed a strong relationship with her quickly - she loves it! She has responded so well to
the routine, all of the activities and play and seems to learn something new every day. She is thriving.

I’m extremely happy with how my son has settled into nursery. The care, communication and thought that goes into the activities planned each day, supporting him at mealtimes and his sleep times has been great and has made the transition a smooth a happy one for our family.

My son started Blue Butterfly Montessori in November 2019 and at the start was a little unsettled on drop-offs, but the staff were very caring and loving and made sure to make him feel safe and comforted. I can definitely see a positive difference in his learning since he joined the nursery where he
has now started to learn to build sentences and his social interaction skills have also developed. The staff always give a detailed feedback on how my son's day has been and I feel assured he is having a good day as this can be seen on drop-off and pick-ups, as he is happy and smiling. Thank you so much to everyone at Blue Butterfly for looking after my son and teaching him so many new things in life

Lovely and warm nursery with amazing well-trained teachers. My little one started nursery in November and at the beginning, she was a little unsettled but with the teachers support my baby now is really happy. The teachers were really helpful with getting my baby to go to sleep without any milk and
all by herself too. I’m really pleased. Well done to everyone and keep doing your good work.

A wonderful place for our children to start their journey in education. The classroom and management staff have put great effort into ensuring they settle, are accommodated, learn and are cared for. Not one day has gone past where I have wondered if my children are OK or happy. Blue Butterfly became
their favourite place to learn, play, grow and have fun. The staff show wonderful care and consideration whilst managing discipline appropriately and fairly. A huge focus is placed on how well my children develop, without putting pressure on me as a parent, or placing judgement on myself or my children. I felt so supported and reassured by having my children under the care of Blue Butterfly, and I feel any child who gets to spend time there is incredibly lucky.

My daughter has been attending Blue Butterfly Montessori for almost two years and she absolutely loves it! The staff and management have been great and always show great enthusiasm and support. We have rarely had to flag any issues and when we have, they have been dealt with in a professional and efficient
way. We have seen our daughter develop in so many ways and we cannot thank Blue Butterfly enough for all that they have taught and encouraged her to do.


I can not recommend Blue Butterfly enough.

My son has been attending Blue Butterfly for around seven months and I'm extremely happy with the nursery. The staff are caring and very informative with updates, suggestions and feedback. The nursery grounds are always clean and tidy. The facilities are second to none. Mealtimes are comprehensive and
diverse. Blue Butterfly has had a huge impact in shaping my child's future. I look forward to watching my son grow and develop as he moves through the rooms and experiences all that Blue Butterfly has to offer.

I saw a lot of nurseries prior to enrolling my little boy, and Blue Butterfly gave off a vibe that no other nursery did. Bright, friendly and clean! My little one took a while to settle in when he joined the baby room but the staff were so patient with him and updated me every day how he was getting
on and what I could do to help the process. The staff that work there, from the manager to all the girls in each room - always have a smile on their face and are so good with all the children! They’ve really helped and encouraged my little one to grow and find his feet, become independent and vocal - the setting gives children an opportunity to grow and learn through different methods of learning. More importantly the staff - are always willing and ready to listen, be it good or bad feedback and will act upon and change/modify anything they may need to.
Overall - an excellent nursery - but it can only be so because of everyone that works there.

This nursery is amazing! My little one has been going there since 16months and is very happy there. The staff are really pleasant and warm and really listen. The fact that this nursery is vegetarian is perfect for us as we are vegetarian at home as well. We visited many nurseries before choosing this
one and found that unlike other nurseries the kids look so happy here. The nursery is well located for us and there is always parking. The management is very approachable and really take feedback on board. Overall an amazing place and if I had any more kids I would definitely send them here again! Well done, team Blue Butterfly!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a brilliant nursery. Friendly and approachable staff and managers who are caring, attentive and gentle with the children. My little one loves the nursery and settled very quickly. They do a home visit first which helps with settling. I travel 30 minutes for this nursery as I believe it's very
important to have the best nursery for your little one. It's clean, the room staff and managers appear happy and there is a good atmosphere which obviously has a positive effect on the children.
Good communication with the parents: - The parent portal app and book are brilliant and I love seeing the daily updates and photos.
There are parent/nursery meetings so there is constant dialogue between parents and management and the parent's evenings. The menu is healthy and my little one eats very well here. They have good weekly activities for the kids and specific festival events for the families, it felt like a community rather than a business! I recommend this nursery to everyone! I wish I knew about it for my older child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children have thrived during their time at Blue Butterfly. The staff were amazing at making them feel settled which was difficult for my son who needed that extra 1 -2 - 1 care and attention which his key worker helped provide.


The staff helped him grow confidence with his speech and regularly

encouraged him to do show and tell which he loved. They've even managed to get him to try new dishes despite him being a fussy eater.


My daughter has also excelled in maths and loves writing and story time since her time at the nursery.


Both my children have been vocal in saying how much they miss the nursery since leaving this summer.


I would highly recommend the nursery to friends and family. They have done a great job in preparing my twins for their next journey into Reception.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.672)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.672) out of 10 for Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.939 for Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner) is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.939
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.733 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner) is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 number of registered child places is 15. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.733
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
