Staff are warm and caring, and provide a range of activities to keep them engaged and active every day. My child loves the food, and tries things that id never had thought he would!
Very grateful to the team for being a constant in his life.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It really means a lot to us and the whole team!
I have 2 children at the nursery who run in every time happy to see everyone, all the staff are so caring and treat the children as if they are their own. Any queries asked are always answered promptly and professionally. They have recently done up the garden which is a fantastic area for the children and they have the hall inside which they use regularly. My eldest regularly seeks attention from the manager who is always happy to stop what she is doing to take the time to spend time with him.
My daughter has been coming here for over 2 years and she loves it. Every member of staff are kind, friendly and caring. There are lots of varied activities for the children to do with plenty of space to have fun, learn and grow.
Our daughter has attended Butterflies for over a year progressing from the baby room to now the toddler area, and settled in really well, always happy at drop off and keen to head in! They seem to do lots of fun themed activities as well as spending time in the garden and the hall to burn off steam. The nursery has a real family feel to it where all the staff know the names of the children, even if they're not specifically in their room. Would definitely recommend.
The one-to-one support has been excellent, and Ellie in particular, has been fantastic in providing additional help and guidance whenever needed. The team have also been so thoughtful in helping us support our daughter at home, especially while preparing for the arrival of her new baby sister.
Our daughter genuinely loves nursery and talks constantly about her friends, the key workers she's spent time with, and all the different activities she's enjoyed during the day. She especially loves the messy play activities in the early years rooms, as well as spending time in the hall downstairs and outside in the play area.
I would happily recommend the nursery to other families.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. It means such a lot to us and the team!
Definitely recommend having moved from another local nursery where a more authoritarian approach was evident this is a breath of fresh air which the kids love
Natalie and her team are just lovely, and our daughter has really thrived under their care for the past 2 years. She loves attending each day, playing outdoors daily and is always super tired at the end of each busy day crafting, playing, singing & dancing. It really has a family-vibe and everyone personally knows our daughter by name.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! It means such a lot to us and the team!
The garden has recently been updated and has so many toys and sit on diggers etc.
The meals are all nutritious and a great selection.
All staff are caring and have the children's best interests as priority.
We feel comfortable approaching the staff with any issues or for support.
Definitely recommend this nursery if you are looking. We wouldn't send our son to any other settings.
Thank you for this lovely review! It means a lot to us and the team!
The staff are all so friendly and every child gets a lovely warm welcome when they arrive. The children participate in a variety of creative activities and outdoor play in the newly renovated garden, and when the weather is poor they are able to use the church hall to have a good run around.
Communication at handover is thorough, with updates throughout the day via the app. The children also have a book about them which includes lots of photos and development updates.
My daughter has made lots of friends, and genuinely loves going to nursery.
Thank you so much for this BM! We really appreciate your kind words :-)
Can not fault this nursery! Both my children have attended and one is currently there. The staff and management have worked so hard with both my children to the point they are not bothered mummy is there to collect. They both thrived and special measures put in place to support my asd child who has flourished in this setting. Beautiful garden and fun activities in the hall when the weather is bad. So supportive towards family and constant updates. Knowing my child is safe and amazingly cared for. Highly recommend to anyone wanting the best for their children. Management go above and beyond to ensure the best outcome for the children. All the staff at this setting are the kindest most caring people I have known! Love Love Love Butterflies
Thank you so much Lisa! This review means so much to us and the team
Both our Sons attend the Nursery and have done since they were 11 months old, we would highly recommend Butterflies for any families looking for a home from home environment. The staff are more than just friendly, they go above and beyond to ensure the children feel safe and cared for, they have also supported us through challenging times with advice and kindness. The daily activities are always pre planned with thoughtful educational aspects. On sunny days they use the well equipped garden and on rainy days they have use of the large hall, occasionally they go on trips to local parks etc. The food is nutritious, varied and plentiful. The only complaint I would have is that we don't get many photos- but having said that, I'd rather the staff were being interactive with the children than sat on a screen sending photos all day so I'll get over it! Both boys are excited to attend in the mornings and happy when we pick them up in the afternoons which speaks volumes!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It means a lot to us and the team!
I highly recommend Butterflies Nursery. Our two children attend and absolutely love it. The indoor space is large, and the newly refurbished outdoor area is excellent. In bad weather, children can use the church hall, often coming home happily worn out. We appreciate the "about me books," which highlight activities and key developmental observations we can support at home. The nursery offers a wide range of engaging arts, crafts, and seasonal activities. The children often bring home impressive artwork. Staff have been very supportive with toilet training and behaviour development. We receive regular app updates on meals and sleep, communication at pickup is always thorough. The staff are caring, engaging, and attentive, there are very strong bonds between the staff and children. You can see the genuine passion for childcare. Feedback is welcomed, and the nursery continually improves. The staff have contributed so much to my children's early life which we will be forever grateful for.
Thank you so much for this lovely review, it means a lot!
All the staff are so caring and friendly and go above and beyond to make the children feel loved and safe.
There are frequent updates via the app to keep parents updated.
They have a large outdoor space which has been recently renovated and the children are outside frequently and when the weather is bad they have the option to a large hall where the kids can run around in and play in.
My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting the nursery and has made some wonderful friends and connections with the staff.
Any concerns or questions I've had have been dealt with fast and efficiently.
Thank you so much for this lovely review, it means a lot! X
Children rarely taken outside, activities are just lazy painting all day. Manger is out of her depth got thrown into management role and really doesn't have a clue. Constantly has her daughter glued to her, you cannot commit to your work like that.
Owners only care about the money and the babies are NEVER taken outside for fresh air. Avoid avoid avoid
I am shocked to read this review, as your child has not attended Butterflies for over five months.
During the time your child was with us, we provided support and advice regarding the difficulties he was experiencing and adapted to his needs with professionalism and dignity. Your child was...
