Well, what can I say? The manager and her wonderful team have looked after and nurtured both of my children. I have one child that has just left to go to primary school and one that still goes there. My children have thrived here. They are always excited and keen to get there which I think speaks volumes.
I would happily recommend this wonderful nursery to any of my peers, as I have nothing but positive things to say. The staff care for your babies like they were one of their own and the bonds the children have with them are wonderful to watch. I feel safe leaving my children there knowing they are so well looked after. They have been able to learn and experience lots of things whilst making friends and having fun! Thank you to Butterfly Nursery School.

We have experienced a supportive atmosphere under the care and management of a fantastic team. Without exception, the ladies show they care for each child and celebrate all of their individualities. For example, I have a shy little girl but the manager and her team have helped support her shyness and
her confidence is growing.
I would also like to praise the flexibility and great communication offered which is rare in a childcare setting.

My first son used to go to this nursery 12 years ago. So when we had another baby 8 years later, there was no doubt where my second child will go.
I as a mother love this nursery. Both of my boys love it. My older boy wants to pick up his younger sibling all the time, to see the staff (as some of them
are still there) and it brings back very happy memories for him. All the staff are very lovely, very friendly and professional, they really work as a team.
My child brings back every day something that he has made. Which is lovely to see.
The nursery accommodated my child’s food intolerances. I have recommended Butterfly Nursery to some of my friends already and always will. They are amazing!

My daughter has been going to Butterfly Nursery School since she was 9 months old. Every single staff member at the nursery are incredible. When my daughter first started, it was so difficult for me whilst I was returning to work. But staff were amazing and made the transition so much easier. My daughter
loves going to nursery and I love when she comes home with little arts and crafts. She has truly bloomed and I believe this is with all the attention and care that she is given at nursery. I highly recommend Butterfly Nursery School.

My little girl started here during lockdown 2021, obviously, I was not allowed to go in with her. But the ladies that work there made the whole transition so easy for me and my little girl. The ladies that work there are lovely.
My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since starting, I would put
a lot of this down to the nursery.
I would highly recommend Butterfly Nursery School.

Our daughter who is 20 months attends this lovely nursery and has done for almost a year. Before deciding on this nursery we obviously visited others, but butterfly nursery had a warm friendly and welcoming feel about it, that we obviously couldn’t ignore. The nursery itself has a variety of toys and
activities to keep the little ones happy learning and amused. And the garden area is fab too, and all very secure. The staff are all brilliant and so lovely, nothing is too much trouble and they keep us well informed of our daughters day.
We would highly recommend Butterfly Nursery, our daughter seems incredibly happy there evidenced by her blowing the staff kisses when she leaves and it is a weight off our mind leaving her for the day knowing she is safe and cared for by all of the staff.

Butterfly Nursery School, Horne is brilliant. My son went here and progressed so well and now my daughter goes here and she is coming along very well. All staff are helpful, polite and very supportive. I cannot fault anything about the nursery. My daughter is excited to go every day and comes home very
happy and is always talking about everything she does throughout the day. Sending your young ones to nursery can be nervous for us as parents as well as the children but I feel so happy and confident about talking my daughter to Butterfly Nursery School, Horne. A very fun environment for the children.

I can't recommend Butterfly Nursery School, Horne enough! Our daughter started in January and she really struggled first off from being separated from home but the manager and her team have been so incredibly kind with easing our daughter into nursery life and now she is doing so well. The flexibility
the nursery offers has massively helped alongside excellent communication from the manager and her team. I was able to call up and check-in to see how she was doing anytime, this gave me such peace of mind. I am so incredibly happy that our daughter goes to this nursery and the manager and her team do an amazing job and go above and beyond for the children and parents. There is always a different activity happening and the outside space is wonderful, this was one of the main reasons why we picked this nursery.

Butterfly Nursery has been an excellent choice for our son and very quickly felt like a 'home-from-home'. My son started when he was only 11 months old and in the middle of the COVID pandemic but the manager and her team made the transition very easy. We were amazed by how quickly our son developed
new skills, taught us actions to songs and displayed new ways of playing.
As a key worker, whose schedule kept changing, I cannot express how fortunate I feel that Butterfly offers flexible childcare. They advertise it on their sign but it really is flexible! We changed days, drop-off and collect times and added sessions with only days' notice and the manager could always accommodate the changes.
Communication is excellent. Each day we received a handwritten sheet of our son's activities, nappy changes and meals but more importantly, all the staff knew exactly what he'd been up to and genuinely appeared invested in his development and happiness.

My daughter started at Butterfly Nursery (her first nursery) at nearly 3 years old. I couldn’t speak more highly of the manager and the team for helping her make the transition from home to nursery life. My daughter was very anxious starting out, but they were so supportive and I really felt like the
settle in period was daughter led in a very caring and warm environment.
The flexible nature really works for us as a family and have found them to be very accommodating of changes. My daughter took a shine to a few members of the team and this was down to the personal and nurturing approach they take within small groups in a relaxed setting. The building reminds me of my own primary school with more than sufficient facilities and a decent sized playground at the back which backs onto farmland so the kids can do animal spotting!
We are really happy we found Butterfly Nursery and would highly recommend any parent looking for a safe and happy nursery for their children to give these guys a call.

After visiting several nurseries without getting a 'feeling' for any of them we found Butterfly Nursery. Once we met the manager and looked around we were both in agreement that this was the place we wanted our children to go. The manager and all the team really do care and offer the peace of mind you
need when leaving your babies with them for the day. Our boys really enjoy their days at nursery and are really excited when they know they are going and the car journey home is full of what they've done that day and who they've played with, what they've eaten etc, always full of enthusiasm even though they might be tired! The manager has always been really accommodating with extra sessions, even in the event of short notice, this was something that wasn't offered at other regimented nurseries we visited. We are really happy we chose Butterfly Nursery and would highly recommend them.

Both my children have been so happy at Butterfly's. They never want to leave at the end of the day. It's a small nursery which makes it personal and more like an extended family. I will be very sad on my daughter's last day as it will be the end of an era.

Over the last five years both my daughters attend/attended Butterfly Nursery in Horne. The staff are great and very welcoming, both daughters enjoy/enjoyed the activities, learning and the food. From talking to others who send their children to different nurseries in the area, they don't get the flexibility
with hours and cost, etc. as to what Butterfly can give.

Both of my children have attended Butterfly Nursery from just before/after two years of age and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door on our initial visit and it is clear they have lovely relationships with the children. I have therefore
always felt happy and reassured knowing that they are very well looked after, enjoying themselves, making friends and doing fantastic activities. The nursery appealed to me also for its relatively small size and calm atmosphere, the flexibility on hours and also particularly because it has a great outdoor area, so the children spend plenty of time outside too. I would thoroughly recommend Butterfly Nursery.

My 4-year old girls have just graduated from Butterfly having been attending the nursery for the last 3 years. I can't fully put into words how much the whole team have done for our girls and us as parents. The girls have gone from babies just saying their first words to confident youngsters ready to
start school. The team at Butterfly have nurtured, supported, encouraged and educated our girls. We are so thankful for the way that they have helped our girls to grow as young people and for the kindness and compassion that has been shown to them.
The team are clearly passionate about working with the children, it's not just a job to them.
Butterfly has offered us flexible childcare and has helped us to do our best as parents.
Not to mention the help and support with toilet training, reading, social skills, creativity, having a variety of healthy meals made on-site, and the massive folders given to us documenting the girls' progression.
We will miss you Butterfly. Thank you so much.

I absolutely love Butterfly Nursery! It's so nice to feel happy and content to leave my child here - knowing that she is safe and happy.


The staff are like extended family and my daughter gets excited when I tell her she's going to school.


I went to view a few nurseries that didn't feel right

and was actually thinking about delaying returning to work - until I found Butterfly Nursery. The people are lovely and the cost is reasonable and they are flexible!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.021)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.021) out of 10 for Butterfly Nursery School, Horne is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.979 for Butterfly Nursery School, Horne is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.979

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.042 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Butterfly Nursery School, Horne is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 number of registered child places is 6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.667

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
