Both our boys have been very happy at Butterflies. I always know that they have had a great day at nursery and they both settled in very quickly. I couldn't have asked for better care for my children as the staff know them so well. They do varied and engaging activities and the phonics work set up our eldest in the best way for starting school as he'd already mastered most sounds and started blending words and reading at the nursery. The food is always popular with our boys too. The ladies all deserve a special mention for their exceptional warmth but all staff are lovely and well trained. I would certainly recommend the nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review. It's been a pleasure having both boys at Butterflies.
One of the things I appreciated most was how patient and encouraging they were with our son, especially when it came to food. He's quite a picky eater, but they always found gentle and creative ways to help him try new foods, which meant so much to us.
We couldn't have asked for a better place for our little one to learn and grow. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We hope your little one is doing well at school and he is missed by us all.
Our son has attended the nursery for almost 2 years and we couldn't be more pleased. The staff know the children very well and their learning and care is done with so much kindness and enthusiasm. The staff turnover is extremely low and it's been wonderful for him to have that consistency. We've found the management team to be very involved in the day-to-day with the children and are always available for help and advice. Our son loves the outings and activities and is always very excited to go to nursery.
Thank you for your kind words. It's been a pleasure having your little one with us at Butterflies.
He's really come out of his shell since coming here.
10/10 would recommend it to friends and family.
I couldn't have asked for a better setting to send my baby girl to!
My son attended Butterflies Pre-School from when he was a baby all the way through to preschool. He really enjoyed his time at nursery wanting to go in even at the weekend. The staff are caring, nurturing and go the extra mile. My son learnt so much at nursery which helped prepare him for school. He enjoyed so many exciting activities and even particularly enjoyed local trips. I would highly recommend Butterflies to anyone looking for a great nursery.
Thank you for your lovely words and hope you're all keeping well.
our son absolutely loved his time at Butterflies baby and toddlers rooms. The staff are amazing and genuinely care so much about the little ones. The facilities are fantastic, the food is great and varied. There is an app for photo's and updates and feedback after each day in person were informative too. We found it useful to have the slightly extended opening hours (7.30 am - 6.30 pm) and they are very well organised both in terms of activities for the children and communication with parents. We were very sad to leave and only did so because we moved out of the area. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words and lovely feedback. I hope you're all settled well in your new home and hope that you'll visit soon once it's safe to do so.
My daughter will soon be three and has been at Butterflies Pre-School since she was nine months old and is really happy there. Butterflies Pre-School offers a very caring and loving environment as well as plenty of varied activities and learning opportunities. The team are really friendly and always happy to engage and answer questions. I have complete peace of mind when I drop her off and know that she is very well cared for. The team have also done an exceptional job at managing the pandemic challenges by keeping parents informed and implementing efficient protocols to prevent contamination. The nursery also offers the app and provides parents with regular photo updates and observations which is a fantastic way to see first hand what my child does and the progresses she makes. I would warmly recommend Butterflies Pre-School to any parent.
Our daughter attended Butterflies Childcare for over one year. We are now leaving the nursery (with great sadness) just because we are moving, otherwise our daughter would have stayed at Butterflies for years. We only have good things to say about this nursery. The staff is pleasant and polite and the space is great for children. The daily reports prepared by the staff are helpful; even more helpful are the periodic reports to track the children's progress. We highly recommend this nursery.
My Daughter joined Butterflies as I wasn't happy with the previous nursery and it was the best decision. The staff were instantly welcoming, and I felt at ease leaving my little one. She has now been with them for 2 years and her development has skyrocketed. The team are very informative on her progress and her daily activities. Support through COVID lockdown was brilliant and we were lucky with the daily zoom sessions which helped me with ideas of tasks to do at home, as well as giving me an insight into nursery life. Information and communication is excellent. Great team, would highly recommend.
My child has been at Butterflies since April 2019. He started in no 20 and has now moved to no 3, he has enjoyed both rooms and I can see the way he has advanced. The staff are all very caring I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else. The way he settled and the friends he has made makes me happy. He will be sad when it becomes time to leave.
She has developed her language and social skills and she loves going to the nursery in the morning.
The staff are absolutely amazing. Warm and genuinely affectionate with the children. There's no better feeling than knowing your child is in the care of someone they adore and who loves them back. I am very impressed with how over this time they've turned my timid little girl into a confident young lady.
Management: is very efficient with emails, special requests and goes out of her way to help you.
I was very impressed with their handling of the time that nursery was closed during the lockdown. They had two very lively and interactive zoom sessions everyday, completely optional, but so much fun and informative!
The chef is such a lovely person and clearly a great cook as my girl has been eating really well at nursery (and she would be really fussy previously)
The nursery is a two min walk from Wimbledon station so great location as well.
Many thanks, Raksha for your lovely review and feedback on the staff team, which I shall share with them. We shall miss your little one when she goes to school next month but we hope you return to visit us.
