They are committed to providing a secure and inspiring space that fosters learning, creativity, and social development, guiding children to spread their wings and embrace a future filled with curiosity and a lifelong love for learning. The nursery caters to different age groups with 'Caterpillar Room' for infants aged 3 to 24 months and 'Butterfly Room' for toddlers aged 24 to 48 months.
The environment is designed to be safe, clean, spacious, and bright, offering various indoor and outdoor areas with age-appropriate resources. Healthy eating is a priority, with an onsite chef preparing homemade meals aligned with government dietary recommendations.

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
"Parents value the feedback they receive. They comment that their children are very happy at the nursery."
Inclusion & environment
The key-person system is highly effective, and staff confidently talk about individual children's progress and next steps, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff offer timely support to ensure all children experience success and provide extra modelling for those who may need it.
Children make independent choices about their play, and adults follow their lead. For example, children decide to prepare 'soup' using fresh flowers in the water tray.
Yellow Butterfly Nursery was my child’s very first nursery, and as a first-time parent I was naturally nervous. But from the moment I met Chandi, I felt an immediate sense of courage and confidence that my child would be in safe hands. That trust only grew stronger over time. Even after we moved an hour away from London, we struggled to find another nursery that matched the warmth, care, and standards of Yellow Butterfly. Chandi truly set the bar high, and my expectations changed because of the exceptional experience we had here. The entire staff team is incredibly kind, experienced, and genuinely caring. Their attention, patience, and the personal bonds they build with each child made a huge difference for us. My child absolutely adores them — their names have even become part of our family games at home, which shows just how special they are to him. My child has always been happy, well-fed, and fully engaged in the activities, which made our two-hour daily commute feel completely worth it. Knowing he enjoyed every one of those 8–10 hours gave us such peace of mind. I highly recommend Yellow Butterfly Nursery. The aesthetics, hygiene, structure, and fun-filled activities are all top-notch. It’s a very special place that will always mean a lot to our family.
Read on GoogleIt’s been a year since my son started at Yellow Butterfly Nursery and as a first time mum, and returning to work full time after maternity leave I was incredibly anxious to leave my child in someone else’s care, but Chandi and the team made the process so comfortable and really put my mind at ease. He transitioned perfectly and has been thriving in their care ever since. Yellow Butterfly is a nurturing and caring environment, and Chandi and the team work alongside you to get the best out of your little one/s. Each practitioner is warm and approachable, responsive and professional - my son has built such a bond with his key worker and when he sees her he lights up! Chandi, the manager is so accommodating and you can see that she has real expertise and knowledge of infants and young children which as a parent is so reassuring. There is an extensive timetable of activities throughout the year and lots of events for parents to engage in. My son is becoming more confident every day, he is joyful, meeting all milestones and I can tell that he is cared for everyday. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Yellow Butterfly to anyone and I really feel like I’ve found a golden gem of a nursery. Please do see for yourself.

Thank you for creating such a nurturing,positive environment for her to grow.We feel genuinely reassured knowing she is supported,understood and encouraged every day.
Read on GoogleI couldn't be more happier with the level of care, expertise and love that each and every one of the staff provide to the children at the nursery. I have been sending children there for the last 2-3 years and my children are absolutely thriving. They love going there and seeing them so happy and content as a parent fills my heart with joy. The manager of the nursery is so understanding, accommodating to every parents/child's needs and always goes above and beyond. I would hihgly recommend everyone looking for a nursery to join this one :)
Read on GoogleI just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful and memorable graduation event. Although my son didn’t graduate this year, it was incredibly special to watch him take on the role in The King and I—he was so proud, and so was I. The children’s performances were beautifully put together. From the costumes to the songs and staging, everything was done with such love and creativity. It was a joy to watch all the children shine in their roles and see their confidence on stage. A huge well done to all the staff for creating such a positive and supportive environment for our little ones to express themselves. Thank you again for giving them (and us parents!) such a special experience to remember.
