Absolutely brilliant nursery. Caring staff, well managed, our children have been so happy there, can't ask for any more and they have learnt so much. Wonderful outdoor space, especially love that the kids get to play in the mud and they are so happy about it!

Reply from Cara Mitchell, Nursery Business Manager at Hilltop Nursery

Thank you for such a lovely review. The team are constantly trying to improve the experience for the children. The mud kitchen is part of the nursery's personality and a place of learning, chatter and giggles!

The staff at butterfly nursery are always smiley, warm and supportive. Management are friendly and approachable with quick response times to questions. I enjoy receiving snapshot updates of my son's time at nursery. My son loves being part of the Butterfly Nursery family, he talks fondly of the staff
and his friends there. I feel he is safe and very well cared for.

Our son has been at Rainbow Nursery for nearly 3 years now. During this period, our son has gone through a range of issues relating to his health, and the nursery staff have been unbelievable throughout it all. We honestly don’t know how we’d have got through without them. The staff are attentive, friendly,
understanding and have gone way beyond their call of duty. I would recommend this nursery to any prospective parent.

Both my children, aged almost 4 and almost 1, currently attend Hilltop Nursery. My son who has been going for 2 years absolutely loves going here and asks "Is it nursery today?" most days! My daughter who started when she was 9 months has settled in well, all the staff have been so nurturing and adaptive
to both their needs. We get frequent updates on how they have been and lots of pictures. Communication between the staff and myself has been excellent both in person or via the app. All the staff here are fantastic and I do not hesitate to leave my children with them. They spend lots of time outside whatever the weather and they love getting muddy and learning through messy outdoor play! I would 100% recommend this nursery- It is fantastic and I will be sad when the nursery days are over.

Both my children attend Butterfly Nursery. My daughter started to go from ten months old, which despite my son already attending I was worried about due to her being under one year. The baby room is so nurturing and my daughter settled really well. All staff form strong bonds with your children and
are really cared for. My son has made some great friendships and I have seen him come on leaps and bounds in his development at Butterfly. Butterfly has a fantastic outside space and children have the opportunity to spend time outside learning and exploring. Key workers have been so fantastic at developing my children and supporting their learning. Thank you all so much for what you do!

Hilltop nursery is a wonderful nursery. Friendly and professional staff who are always happy to help and chat about the little ones. The children are kept busy with lots of fun and educational activities and have free-flow access to a lovely garden. Our little boy really enjoys his time at Hilltops.

Our daughter has attended Rainbow Nursery since she was 1 year old. She is shy by nature, as a lockdown baby, but had really gained her confidence in the group environment. Staff at nursery are lovely and very supportive. Children enjoy a variety of fun and developmental activities. I also like the
interactive parent app that is in use, I can follow my child's daily structure.
I would recommend to a friend!

My daughter has attended Hilltop Nursery since July 2020 when she was just a year old. My son also attended who has since started school.
This is an outstanding nursery. I have never had any concerns about leaving my children in the care of the fantastic staff here. They are kind, caring and so skilled.
A wealth of experience knowledge and advice.
Throughout some of the darkest months of covid lockdowns, the fantastic team provided light and happiness for my children during their time at nursery.
My children have flourished here, the very skilled team have extended their learning fantastically, and have helped them to build positive, trusting, kind relationships with adults and other children.
I cannot imagine a safer set of hands to leave my children in.

I cannot give enough praise for Hilltop Nursery. My son has attended twice weekly for over a year and has the most fabulous time. He is thriving thanks to the care, encouragement and support that all members of the team provide. We have noticed his language skills and his manners develop rapidly following
each session - I feel that some of this is because of the multi-age free play times that they have as a result of being a smaller nursery. They spend lots of time in the garden each day and my son loves this fresh air, no matter the weather. The staff know the children well and build excellent nurturing relationships. The communication is effective, both through the Famly app and in person at the end of each day. The nursery team are flexible and always willing to accommodate extra sessions if these are possible. We are so grateful for everyone at Hilltop!

My daughter started as a baby and has flourished in a beautiful nursery with incredible staff, that really care. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough and I am sad to say goodbye. My daughter has left having made some lovely friends, is confident and has learnt so much and has enjoyed every moment.
As a parent, it's so hard going back to work, feeling guilty etc, but it's helped how much she has loved the experience. Thank you all so much x

My daughter has been at Butterfly Nursery since September 2009. She has loved every minute of her nursery experience. The staff are exceptional and have helped her grow into a confident little girl. Throughout Covid, the staff stayed in contact, keeping up to date with her progress and staying open
for those who needed to attend. The care my daughter received was top quality. She is going to miss nursery and everyone there when she starts school.
Highly recommend this nursery.

Our son attended Butterfly Nursery for a year and a half before leaving to start school. He always had a good time, made plenty of friends, and came home happy. Staff have always been caring and happy to help at all times. Butterfly Nursery has a good outside space with plenty of different activities
and in the summer months kids spend a good amount of time outside running around. The nursery has reasonable rates, long opening hours and offers time term only care which was really helpful for us. I felt confident leaving my child there knowing that he was safe and happy. The nursery didn't offer day trips, forest school, art teacher, language classes etc, which was the one negative compared to other nurseries.

Both of my children have attended Butterfly Nursery and have loved it! The staff are fantastic, very helpful and friendly. They keep you up to date on your child's progress and there's always fun things going on that get the kids excited. One of my children is a very anxious child and they really helped
her to feel safe and happy. Both finished very ready to start school, thanks to everyone at Butterflies!

When we moved into Hove, my daughter didn't settle in the first nursery we tried. Then I visited Butterfly with her, and from the very first moment, we could see how different the atmosphere is there. Since then, my daughter is the first one to ask when she is going to Butterfly, full of enthusiasm.
Also, I could see how quickly her development was as English isn't our first language at home. I used to say that attending Butterfly Nursery was the best thing that happened to my daughter.
