We've been with flutterbies just over 2 years. While my little one experienced some ups and downs settling in - mainly due to staff turnover - the nursery has gone through a real transformation recently. With new management and a refreshed team, the positive changes have been clear, and things have stabilised. My daughter thrives on consistency, and its been wonderful to see her now genuinely enjoy her time at nursery. She waves me off confidently each morning and has lovely stories about her day when I pick her up.

My daughter has been at Flutterbies since she was a year old and the staff have been absolutely amazing. They have helped develop my daughter from a shy girl to an energetic, confident little girl. She now looks forward to going to Flutterbies and talks about the staff and her friends there all the time. The staff are so dedicated to improving the children's learning and experiences. They never seem to do the same activity twice! They always keep it fresh and interesting for the children. My daughter is very happy there which makes us at parents very happy too.

Daughter started attending Flutterbies a couple of months ago, so far so good! Staff are friendly and approachable, daughter already has her favourites and we rarely hear she’s been upset. Stag took the time to learn about our daughter and her preferences and cater to her whilst she’s in their care. Love the communication through the app and staff always keep us posted if there has been an issue. Looks like she gets up to lots when she is there and activities are plentiful and fun! Can’t wait to see how she thrives and develops whilst she’s there. Thanks Flutterbies staff.

My daughter started nursery on 2 Jan 2026 full time. It's the 14 Jan today and she seems settled and content there. The staff have been exceptional at helping her settle and keeping me up to date. We receive a run down of activities and pictures every day and the app is kept up to date with information on meals, nappy changes and sleep. The nursery have also been great on keeping us up to date on roadworks next to the nursery and plans when the snow was very bad. The biggest thing for me is my daughter eats well, sleeps well and is happy there.
