Lovely small and caring setting. Our son loves it and the staff are all so lovely. Our son has learned so much here with the teachers such as his numbers and phonics, it sets him up so well for school.
My son has been attending the Butterfly Patch Cobham since he was 6 months old, when I had to return to work. It was such short notice to get him a place and the team at The Butterfly Patch were so understanding and did everything they could to make sure he was settled. I was so nervous as he was so tiny, but I needn't have worried because the team were absolutely brilliant and they really put me at ease. My son is now 18 months and absolutely loves going to nursery, he hardly even says goodbye because he is so excited to go inside and see everyone! They have taught him brilliant routines that he replicates at home (such as washing hands after play, taking shoes, coat and dummy off when we get home etc) and I can see how his development has skyrocketed since attending. I receive regular updates through their app which includes notes and photos of my son playing which makes me feel so much closer to him even though I am at work. Could not recommend The Butterfly Patch enough, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Friendly staff, my grandchildren love going there. They come out very happy, and the preschool one often asks if a member of staff can go to his house. He often mentions what he had been doing, attempting the alphabet and counting. We noticed a big difference with sociability after they had both started, when 8 months old.
The most nurturing and hands on nursery I had the privilege to witness. Just a happy environment for the kids to be in. In fact my daughter finds it hard to leave at pick up because she is having too much fun. It is just like a second home to her. We appreciate the small size of the facility as it feels more introvert and intimate for the kids . A bit like a big play house! The teachers are the most dedicated and friendly. They give constant feedback about the child’s development. Love the chat at the pick up where they give you an overview of how the day went. The level of details from the daily activity report is extraordinary.
My son has been attending The Butterfly Patch Cobham since he was seventeen months. When I had another baby, without all the amazing staff I would have not got through the last year and a half as easily. My son has grown and learnt so much, he’s been given so much love and support and always skips off and doesn’t look back. My son has lots of friends he talks about all the time and he even tells me he misses his teachers. All of the staff have always made me feel better if I ever have a concern about even the smallest things, someone is always available to answer my questions and my son loves attending and has never not wanted to go. I would recommend this nursery to anyone, it’s a fantastic place for your children and all the staff go above and beyond everyday to make it run smoothly, especially in the testing times we have all been going through. Thank you guys!
When we first came to visit the nursery, I instantly knew that it would be the right fit for my son and he has received absolutely fantastic care from the start. My son loves The Butterfly Patch Cobham and is always excited when he arrives in the morning. It really feels like a family, the staff are extremely caring and my son knows everyone by name. He also gets to interact with the older children which is great for his development. Every day the staff come up with fun and stimulating activities and we receive numerous updates and pictures via an app. The pandemic has been extremely challenging for everyone but the manager and staff have handled it with the upmost professionalism and done everything possible to keep the nursery open and as safe as possible. As parents who work full time, we have been extremely appreciative of this. Thank you to The Butterfly Patch Cobham, we couldn't be happier!
Our daughter has been at The Butterfly Patch Cobham for two years and absolutely loves it. She adores the staff, who are caring, kind and thoughtful and always go above and beyond. She has made lovely friends and looks forward to each and every day there. Each day she does a range of activities and learns something new. The food is nutritious, varied, healthy and we are given a daily log of what and how much she has eaten. Communication from the manager and staff at The Butterfly Patch Cobham branch has always been excellent, aided by the app which is very informative and useful.
We moved my eldest to The Butterfly Patch Cobham two and a half years ago, after he had attended another nursery for nine months. I was straight away blown away when I looked around, it was the only nursery he left my side and got stuck in, playing in the garden. The staff were so kind and welcoming to him and he quickly settled in. Both of my sons now attend and they love it, we barely get a goodbye as they are racing to get in. The staff have been absolutely wonderful, it's small enough that my children know all the staff, who are all so kind and caring. They spend a lot of time outside and do lots of fun and educational activities. They use a great app which they use to share photos of the children having fun, doing various activities and lots of useful information. We actually moved away from the area over a year ago but have kept attending as we love it so much!
A beautiful nursery and lovely staff! My two children attend The Butterfly Patch Cobham and they always come home so happy and full of life. The manager is an amazing nursery manager, who puts in so much effort for all the children who attend. Although we have all had a rollercoaster of a year, The Butterfly Patch Cobham have always kept my children happy and I can’t thank them enough for all their efforts and hard work. My most memorable moment would be at Christmas. The manager and the nursery staff made a Grotto for Santa to visit, I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that. Especially as a single parent it has been a difficult year but it really made our Christmas! I highly recommend, I have told many other local mummies how wonderful it is here. Thank you ladies!
The staff at The Butterfly Patch Cobham have really helped my daughter to settle into nursery. They are all so friendly and easy to talk to. They make so much effort for special occasions such as Christmas where they had Santa, elves and snow machines in the garden! The app they use is really helpful for receiving updates throughout the day and for looking at photos which are uploaded. There is a lovely, friendly feel to the nursery which is exactly what I wanted for my daughter.
My daughters both absolutely love The Butterfly Patch Cobham. Every morning they race to the door and cannot wait to start their day! The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming and have formed wonderful relationships with both my girls. The manager is so enthusiastic, brilliant with the children and always has time for the parents. We could not be happier and highly recommend this nursery!
We just love The Butterfly Patch Cobham! We were worried as we started our child a bit later than the norm but the staff are just so wonderful and attentive that my daughter fitted right in. Both kids have so much fun at nursery, they come home so chatty and exhausted. They seem to do such creative activities every day. I would highly recommend as a nursery to anyone.
My son absolutely loves The Butterfly Patch Cobham, he started at around eleven months old and has been there a year now. The manger is outstanding, bubbly, full of of life and leads the team well. They do lots of fun activities, spend lots of time outside and send pictures of our little one having fun, along with a detailed report what he has eaten and how many times his nappies were changed.
An outstanding nursery, who go above and beyond to make sure the children have a fantastic experience. The warmth, nurturing and love that my daughter receives is exceptional. I never have to worry when she is at the nursery, and I know the staff will call me if there are any issues. My daughter also has the opportunity to mix with the older children due to its open environment. The activities are varied, with lots of messy play and outdoor activities. Good manners are reinforced, and the children all eat together.
Our daughter really enjoys attending The Butterfly Patch and exploring new activities with the staff and her peers. She has continued to blossom in her two years at the nursery, growing in confidence and developing friendships. The nursery has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with happy children and staff who care about them. Would highly recommend.
This nursery is exceptional and in so many instances. They go over and beyond to not only look after the children but they make their experience as enjoyable and memorable as possible. Extra thought and care has gone into each and every week and parents can feel relaxed knowing that all of their activities are logged through a simple and easy to access app. Massive credit also goes to the manager, who took on a week off to cook for the little ones, to save parents having to prepare packed lunches when the supplier unexpectedly was unable to provide. Highly recommend.
Our daughter has been at The Butterfly Patch since she was 15-months-old. She will be starting school in September, and we couldn’t have wished for a better place and environment for her to have fun, learn, develop, grow and flourish. Our son also now attends in the baby room, and it’s been a wonderful feeling knowing he’s in such capable, experienced hands. They are both always so excited for nursery, and we’re lucky if we even get a wave goodbye!
A nurturing, caring, fun, stimulating and personal setting, with the most wonderful staff. Our experience has been fantastic over the years. Consistent and open communication and always a personal touch, which we have so appreciated. It’s been an amazing choice for us!
This is a great nursery! My boy loves it, and the staff are so caring! I get regular updates on what he is doing during the day. It has a real family atmosphere and have really helped my son develop. Would most certainly recommend it. Thank you.
The Butterfly Patch is a home from home for our little boy. He has flourished in their nurturing environment and is always keen to tell us what he has been up to each day. Even over the past year, facing many challenges, the nursery has continued to provide exceptional care and have gone out of their way to make sure that the children and their families are safe and happy.
Thoroughly recommended. Genuinely caring staff, extremely professional and passionate about their jobs and their roles in a child's early learning years. We moved to the area (just over) two years ago, so we have experienced other day nursery setups and we are able to compare and see the difference. Our son learned a lot, he made friends and became more independent and had the best prep for school we could have asked for. We, as parents, have learned with him. It's been great to see the values and beliefs displayed on the nursery board applied in practice. Our son learned that not being able to get things right is only an opportunity to try again and that we learn and improve with every experience (he'll prompt me if I ever forget to see the glass as half full). Small outside space with everything needed to keep kids entertained, nursery trips are well thought through and add a lot to the learning journey. Regular themed days, charity mini-events and a lot more: truly inspirational childcare.
