My daughter attends Butterwick Pre-School one day a week alongside another setting. She has struggled to settle, but I feel so reassured that all of the ladies are so lovely, they treat her like their own - providing love and care. She is kept busy, with constant activities and communication is brilliant.
As parents, you are kept up to date and the parents' app is frequently updated.

Reply from Lorna Marshall, Director of Education at Butterwick Pre-School

We are so proud of how much she is growing and settling with us. She really does love the ladies and having a chat with us telling us lots of stories from home. Thank you for your lovely words!

The help Butterwick Pre-School have provided to develop my daughter's emotions, intelligence and confidence and all-round happiness, is something I will always be grateful for. Her confidence. that shines through at school now, is what they have helped me with, whilst she was with them for three years
and I will never be able to say thank you, enough.

I thought moving my son from another nursery setting would be difficult. Although it had its challenges at first, he has settled really well thanks to the care and clear passion the staff have for the children. The activities are creative and his speech has come on leaps and bounds!

Highly recommended. The ladies who run the pre-school really do go above and beyond for all the children who attend/attended as well as the parents/grandparents too, making you feel like one big family. There are very welcoming, always keeping you informed on updates in regards to day-to-day activities
and information on the app. I definitely made the right decision choosing this setting and I'm very thankful that my child got the pleasure to attend to help support learning, have fun and guide her on her way to primary school.

Reply from Lorna Marshall, Director of Education at Butterwick Pre-School

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We miss your little one lots now she is at "big" school but are grateful we got to be part of her preschool journey, thank you for choosing us.

So pleased we found such a wonderful after-school club where my son feels safe and happy. The amazing manager moved up in her career and good for her, she was amazing. She leaves behind a truly fantastic team that genuinely cares and creates a happy environment for all the children. My son loves coming
to see four members of staff in particular and the rest of the fantastic team. I hear the names of three of the staff members all the time when he comes home smiling, I hope they know what a lovely positive impact they have upon the children. My son will always remember one member of staff, in particular, cheering him on at sports day, which meant a lot to him! My daughter recently moved up to secondary school, but used the after-school club and she loved six staff members in particular and all the team. A big thank you to all of you for looking after her.

Reply from Lorna Marshall, Director of Education at Butterwick Pre-School

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Your son certainly does have the most wonderful relationship with the ladies.

My daughter loves going to this preschool. She struggled to settle at first as she was only used to being left with family but each day got easier and every day she had a fantastic time. Nothing was too much trouble. All the staff here have been brilliant with her.
My daughter always has lots to tell
me about her day when I pick her up, she is always excited to go and see her friends and 'her ladies' as she calls them. She learns lots of songs and loves to sing. I don't actually think there is anything she doesn't enjoy here. She comes home every day happy and tired out. The lovely ladies have become like family to her and she talks about them a lot. She will definitely miss them all once she leaves to go to big school. I love to see the photos of what she's been up to on the app and she gets excited when she's telling us what she was doing. They have a wide range of activities for them all to enjoy. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a preschool.

I cannot say enough good things about this setting. The staff are super friendly, supportive and really try their absolute best to help out with any changes or issues I have. They really take the time to get to know each individual child and what they need. My son absolutely loves going to school and
coming home to tell me about all the fun things he's been doing throughout the day. I'm always kept up to date with activities he's carried out including pictures. Would 10/10 recommend this setting for your child.

My granddaughter attends this nursery and I have to say what an incredibly fantastic place this is. The staff are friendly and go above and beyond to ensure the children are settled and happy. I can't recommend this nursery enough, if I could give it ten stars I would. My granddaughter has come out
of her shell and interacts more than she ever has. Thank you, to you all, for doing such an amazing job.

My daughter has been attending the setting for almost a year and loves it! She particularly enjoys the play area outside as she loves climbing, looking for bugs and the general outdoors! The staff are lovely and have created a great bond with her. She talks about them at home all the time! Thanks for
looking after my little girl and I look forward to hearing about all her activities and adventures as she goes on!

Amazing staff with so much heart and a caring mindset. It’s wonderful seeing my son get excited about going to nursery. The teachers really make an effort to engage with the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment.
Keep up the good work!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.979)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.979) out of 10 for Butterwick Pre-School 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 Butterwick Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (418 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 427 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Butterwick Pre-School is based on 36 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

Job Title: Director of Education

I am a qualified teacher for children aged 3-7. This gives me the knowledge and experience to implement our educational curriculum in a way that supports children through their early years journey and will stay with them throughout their school transition and beyond. I am extremely passionate about our children gaining experiences in our settings far beyond the realms of a typical nursery or preschool so that our children develop a love of learning, exploring and being curious about the world around them.


Outside of work I am a mummy to two daughters aged 10 and 2 years old who keep me on my toes but also my inspiration for my career. We love the theatre, animals big and small and camping. We are big foodies so enjoy going to different restaurants together after one of our little family adventures. As I get older I am trying to travel more and experience new places and culture.
