The Butterfly Team has been absolutely wonderful for my son. The setting is beautiful, with so many creative play opportunities for the children to explore – from moon sand and playing with ice on hot days, to enjoying the rain and everything in between. The staff are so attentive and truly aligned with each child’s individual needs, showing genuine care and dedication. They teach kindness and respect, encourage independence, and create such a positive, inclusive atmosphere. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Our daughter absolutely loves Butterfly's nursery. The staff are so kind and attentive and have worked closely with us to make sure our daughter's needs are met. We love that she's always getting involved in all the activities, regardless of being a little younger and starting before she could move! It's lovely knowing our daughter is having the best time exploring, learning, and playing. We would recommend butterfly's in a heartbeat!

Fantastic nursery: both my children (one still there, one now school-age) have had brilliant experiences here with caring, nurturing staff who are wonderful with the children and very good at communicating with parents both giving details about the children's day and listening to parents re children's needs, etc. My children were/are so happy at Butterfly. They both made/have made lovely little friends and adored the staff.

My daughter has attended this wonderful nursery since she was just 9 months old, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better start to her early years. The staff have always been incredible, so caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I’ve always felt completely confident that she’s safe, happy, and well looked after.
She’s now moved on to school but still attends for wraparound care, which she absolutely loves. A true testament to how much she adores the team and the environment they’ve created. I also really appreciate the variety of experiences they offer, like forest school and beach trips. Such amazing opportunities that make her time there even more special. Thank you all for everything you do!

My son currently goes to Butterfly Nursery and he absolutely loves it there.
The staff are amazing and have never had a problem. Communication between staff and parents is amazing and always happy to answer any questions or queries I have.
They do lots of messy play, trips out, interactive play and lots more.
My daughter will be starting in November and can’t wait for to love it as much as my son does.
Very highly recommended this nursery!

I had issues throughout the time my child was at butterfly but my final issues led to the removal of my daughter from the nursery. Over the course of six weeks starting from September, she began coming home really sad and she would cry often. When asked why she was sad or upset she would say that child A (the boy she knows from outside of nursery) wasn't nice to her. The sort of things that she told me he had said were "go away" or "I'm not your friend" or "you're not allowed to play with my friends." I felt upset for my daughter but I do know that some children do say these things. I hoped it was a phase that child A would grow out of although I mentioned it to various staff at drop offs and asked that they encourage my daughter to play with other children but they didn’t seem to intervene and the problems continued. On one ocassion my daughter came home and told me that child A's friend had punched her in the stomach. I asked if he was told off and she said no. I didn't bother to say anything to the staff on this occasion as they clearly hadn't seen the incident take place and I do understand that staff can't have eyes everywhere at all times, however, a week or so later, after collecting My child, I noticed a scratch under her eye and I asked her what had happened. She told me that child A wanted the toy that she had been playing with and so he scratched her then pushed her to the floor which she then demonstrated. She said he then went on to push her back down when she tried to get up. I called the nursery to discuss the issue and was informed that there was no record of any such incident having taken place and that if it had of taken place, staff would have noticed as children are apparently monitored at all times. I asked if they were aware of any issues between my child and child A to which they replied that there weren't! How on earth is all this being missed? Why aren't staff aware of the ongoing issues? I can't understand how so many issues/incidents have gone unnoticed. Perhaps these issues are so regular that they are of little importance or perhaps it is because my child rarely cries even when hurt as she hates to draw attention to herself and she doesn't tell tales? Like any other child her age (four) She has on occasion told lies, specifically to avoid getting into trouble! However, when asked to have a think about whether or not what she has said is true, she always admits the truth. She's not a natural liar and she certainly doesn't make things up yet the nursery have stated that she has lied and that the incidents did not take place! To have the nursery deny what my daughter is saying as well as being completely oblivious to there even being an issue, has left me no other choice than to remove her. I'm gutted for my child that this terrible time has been her first experience of education. There are too many children and not enough educated or experienced staff that are familiar with individual children's needs. Butterfly is unfortunately a business In which Rachel Stafford profits greatly. It’s a great shame that a “care” setting don't cater to children’s individual needs such as quieter children or children with language difficulties. Staff seem to be unaware of issues between children and appear oblivious of ongoing issues. Toilets aren't monitored at all times. There are too many training staff and not enough qualified staff. No wonder so many incidents get Missed with such a huge number of trainee staff working 40 hour weeks for around £100!
