Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The learning targets for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are clearly displayed for all staff. Staff consistently teach children with SEND the skills they need to learn or practise to catch up with their peers. Staff work closely with other agencies and services, and children with SEND make consistently good progress.

Outdoor space

Children learn to enjoy being active outdoors. They have fun developing their strength and coordination as they climb, balance or ride the wheeled toys. Sometimes, they are thoughtful as they read a book or sweep the blossom and seeds.

Fantastic nursery with amazing staff! Both my girls go here and have done for a few years. The friendly and safe environment is the perfect place for early education. As full-time working parents; me and my partner are able to go to work knowing our kids are in safe, professional & nurturing hands. The facilities are brilliant and the full Butterflies team are highly skilled in their roles, but also boast a plethora of personal qualities such as kindness and respecting others which reflects in my daughters. There’s always exciting new activities for the children and although nursery is for the children, I absolutely love hearing from my daughter what different activities she’s been doing! To share an example of how outstanding this nursery is, my youngest daughter was very unfortunate to be diagnosed with hip dysplasia just after she turned 1. This meant she had to undergo surgery and be in a spica cast for 6 weeks. The team all went out of their way to ensure my daughter was able to attend Nursery on reduced hours thus giving her the time to socialise, learn, play, see her friends, see the team and much more! This took a great deal of effort including a Risk Assessment as well as the team learning how to change her nappies with a cast on, and how to lift her up without causing her distress. I would highly recommend Butterflies Nursery to any parent/guardian, and to the Butterflies team - thank you for everything you do for my girls. 🦋

We selected this nursery primarily for its proximity to our workplace, and it has truly proven to be one of our best decisions. The staff here has been nothing short of wonderful in their care for our son. They go the extra mile by providing regular updates through their online system, offering a detailed rundown of his day. Moreover, their proactive approach in communicating any concerns they might have is reassuring, and they've created a safe and open space for us to voice our own concerns as well. The convenience of being close to our workplace initially attracted us, but it's the exceptional care and attention our son receives that makes this nursery stand out. The staff's dedication and their transparent communication have truly put our minds at ease while we're at work, knowing our son is in capable and caring hands. Thank you!
