The Butterfly Patch Croydon - Shirley

We enrolled my daughter at The Butterfly Patch Croydon - Shirley as a baby, when my wife had to return to work and she is currently there as a two year old toddler. The nursery staff are very friendly and one member of staff was very understanding and supportive as we eased our daughter in to nursery. Leaving your child with other people is such a big deal and we feel very comfortable with the staff at The Butterfly Patch Croydon - Shirley. They have an excellent app that allows us to track her day, to see how much she has slept, what she has been doing and what food she has eaten. It is a great reassurance to see photos of your child playing and learning whilst you are working. The food is very good and I am often quite jealous when I look at what my daughter has eaten for her lunch and snacks. I was also impressed when The Butterfly Patch Croydon - Shirley introduced an external company that come in and teach sports and games for the kids. The photos I got were really lovely. I would happily recommend The Butterfly Patch Croydon - Shirley.

Let me start by saying how wonderful this nursery is. My son started in May 2018 aged 2 and he has really come a long way. I returned to work and was fully supported by all the staff as it was the first time I had left my son with anyone other than family. The nursery has been a great support to my son in his development and the staff always let me know what progress he is making and what he has done throughout the day. The staff are amazing with the kids and I especially love it here because of the intimate environment. You don’t have to worry that your child will be lost in a sea of children as it’s a smaller setting. Ideal for children at a young age. The children do lots of different activities throughout the day and the parent app is always updated while your child is there, so you get a snippet of what your offspring is up to. Management here is great too. Always on the ball and at hand to support you with your child in any way they can. My son is very happy here.

Since my daughter started in March after leaving a previous nursery she has made a lot of progress in her speech, knowing her colours and her alphabet. And she is really enjoying going to nursery, every day she looks forward to seeing her key worker and the other staff. The staff's ability to connect the children, the setting is amazing, they really take the time to get to know your kids. The staff are very friendly and approachable and take great pride in providing the best care possible for you no matter their need.

The Butterfly Patch, Croydon is the best, very friendly staff. They help my son with everything. Because he has special needs was not a problem for staff to care for my son, they help him more and my son is very happy when is at nursery.

My daughter has been at Butterfly Patch since it opened, literally she, alongside my friend's daughter, were the only children there and it’s been a year later and my daughter still attends. All rooms are full and the atmosphere is amazing! After the Christmas break my daughter ran from the car and ran into nursery she missed it that much! All staff are amazing and friendly and I love that I receive messages, pictures or videos throughout the day whilst my daughter is there and I am at work. They do so much creative and fun stuff with the kids, I am certainly happy that I chose Butterfly Patch as my daughter's nursery.

My son has been attending The Butterfly Patch nursery since he was 9 months. He is now 18 months and he loves nursery. In the beginning, he found settling hard due to not being at home with me. The nursery staff were amazing, on taking on my suggestions and ideas which allowed him to settle fairly quickly. The communication between nursery and myself is brilliant, especially with the use of the online eylog, where I get regular updates on activities he is doing. When I drop my son off sometimes, he doesn't even say bye. He is so excited to be at nursery and with his friends. I'm happy with the progress he has made whilst being there. He is a lot more independent and this translates into the home environment. I would definitely recommend this nursery, especially if your child is starting at a young age.

All the staff at Butterfly Patch are very professional, friendly and provide the best care for my daughter. I have no reservations about leaving my daughter in the care of this nursery and would highly recommend to all other families who are looking for childcare. My daughter was the first child to attend this nursery when they first opened, she runs in daily with the biggest smile. I am pleased with all she has learnt through the different actives the nursery provide. Thanks again to all at Butterfly Patch for their professionalism and high standards of childcare. 100% recommend to all!
