Our child has the absolute best time here. She's always rushing us out of the house to get to nursery. The food looks great. The staff are all so friendly. Even after a couple of years, she's still loving it! Would definitely recommend.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

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

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend enough! Both my children have attended this nursery from the age of 6 months and sadly the youngest is now leaving to go to school. I cannot fault the staff here, they will be sorely missed. They are so attentive and caring towards the children, who have loved going and I’ve felt

so comfortable leaving them there. Communication has always been great, and they are always so accommodating with the days I’ve needed. I get frequent updates on what the children have been doing throughout the day and it’s always nice to see pictures on the app they use. Great outdoor space and lots of outdoor play! Thank you all so much.

Our daughter found Butterfly to be a wonderful experience. She made many good friends and all the staff were wonderful. They all treat the kids with such care and attention, and the affection between the staff and the children is palpable. Our daughter grew and learned hugely through the nurturing she

received at Butterfly. The staff were helpful and friendly whenever we needed to speak to them or ask anything and always had our daughter's best interests at heart, working hard, even when it inconvenienced them, to ensure she got the best care and support.

Overall Experience

I can’t recommend Butterfly Nursery enough. Due to COVID-19 our boys had to move nursery (which is always an apprehensive time). However, they settled within a week which is all down to the staff - they are warm, nurturing and welcoming - everything you’d want for your children. We have been so impressed.

The boys are eager to go to nursery every day and come home with stories about their friends, teachers and all the fun they have. The boys eat well whilst they are there, with my youngest often eating two helpings. I have found the nursery great in terms of flexibility - when we needed to up our days, the manager accommodated us straight away. My eldest is due to start big school next month and I know that he’ll really miss Butterfly nursery.

Excellent nursery. Our little one has gone to Butterfly on several occasions from the age of four months onwards for drop and go sessions and we have always been very happy with the care provided. The staff are friendly and welcoming and always seem organised and efficient. Our child has always seemed

happy and well-cared-for, encouraged to eat and drink well and the team are great at sticking to the baby's usual routine. He sleeps much better at nursery than at home. It has been a real life-line for us without any family living close by to help out and we would recommend it to anyone.

Both my children started going to this nursery when they were about 7 months old and now one has just started school.
The staff and facilities are excellent, friendly environment, very flexible team, I couldn't have wished for a better nursery for my kids.
My children come home talking about the staff

all the time. It's amazing not having to worry about my children when they are at nursery.
I'll recommend Butterfly Nursery over and over again. A big thank you to you all for the good work you are doing.

Overall Experience

My children have been at this nursery for about eight months and as a family, we’ve all loved Butterfly Nursery. They have nurtured and taught both my children so much. My eldest has just left to start school and she transitioned so well into school, which is mostly down to how prepared she was by everyone

at Butterfly Nursery. My son, who has another year at nursery, has developed so quickly with his speech and confidence. A fantastic nursery and we are so glad we sent our kids there.

Both of my daughters attended Butterfly Nursery and loved every minute of their time there. The staff are friendly and caring. They engage the children in a variety of interesting activities and encourage messy play. Both of my children loved playing in the large outdoor space where they could help

with planting, use scooters or practice their baking skills in the mud kitchen. I loved the warm family atmosphere in the nursery and felt the staff always had my children’s best interests at heart. I highly recommend this nursery.
