My daughter has been with the nursery since October 2024, so far it's been a great experience for all of us. We love the events the nursery does for children, parents/guardians and carers, it brings everyone together and we all get to know each other much better. When I tell my other parent friends
the things that my daughter does at nursery, I hear a lot of "we don't have this or that at our nursery". We get daily updates on how my daughter is eating, what the room of children have been doing for the day and get to know what observations have been of my daughter while at nursery. I know the demand for nursery admissions are quite high, so we feel quite privileged we have a place at Blue Butterfly. I hope my daughter continues to thrive here. Whenever we do the drop offs, there's always a sense of happiness coming from the children, parents/guardians and staff, it feels great to be part of this nursery community and hope this continues.

My daughter started here aged 1 in early 2021, straight after all the lockdowns. We were worried as she hadn't had as many opportunities to be away from us as her big sister had prior to starting nursery. Blue Butterfly Montessori was amazing, nurturing and caring and she quickly settled in. She has
learned so much in each of her class groups, developed strong bonds with each of her key workers and new friends. Each transition was completed really well and she felt prepared at each stage. The activities that staff in Blue Butterfly carry out through the day, as well as all the extracurricular activities, have well and truly prepared her for big school. Thank you Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner).

Reply from Amy Kelly, Nursery Manager at Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner)

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear about your daughter's positive journey with us at Blue Butterfly Montessori. It's heartwarming to know that she settled in so quickly and built strong bonds with her key workers and friends despite the challenges of starting after the lockdowns. Supporting our children in every stage of their development is something we take great pride in and it's incredibly rewarding to know we've met your expectations. Thank you for trusting us with your daughter's early years. We wish her every success in her new chapter at big school! Warm regards, Amy.

We have had a lovely experience at Blue Butterfly Montessori with both of our girls. They have been so well looked after, nurtured and supported as they grow and learn. We can see such a change in both girls, the confidence they have gained and the amount of understanding of the world around them.

My child started at Blue Butterfly Montessori in August 2023. Since starting my child has become independent in many aspects. The care my child receives is amazing. She comes home and loves talking about the nursery, her friends, and all her teachers. Both academically, socially, and emotionally, my
little one has been learning new skills every day and demonstrates these at home. The nursery has a variety of activities and extra circulars which my child enjoys and speaks about when asked how was your day at nursery today.

My son has been at Blue Butterfly Montessori Day Nursery since he was 1 year old. From the very first day, I have felt assured he has been taken care of with the utmost care and attention. Via the app, we get regular updates on his well-being. His personal development has been inline with what we expect
with a high-calibre nursery. The staff from yellow to green and finally to blue have been amazing in tandem with the admin and management teams.

I highly recommend this nursery, my son had previously been with another nursery which I wasn’t happy with. I wish I had sent my son to Blue Butterfly from the start, he has really flourished at this nursery! The management team at the nursery are very good, the nursery and all the activities are very
well organised. I feel that management and the teachers exercise so much compassion and warmth in all their dealings with the children. The teachers I have been so impressed with, they are so good with the children and so caring! I am also very impressed by the daily updates on the nursery app, which include regular observations on your child.
The nursery teachers have also always supported me in the development of my son which included potty training, cutting out my son’s nap and always giving helpful tips!

Fabulous nursery. Both my girls have thrived there on so many levels; from getting home cooked food of all cuisines and learning to love those foods, to building confidence, being toilet trained and learning to read and write. The staff are a credit to the nursery.

Blue Butterfly is an absolutely fantastic nursery. My daughter has been there for almost 2 years and my second child will be starting soon. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, dedicated and knowledgeable team. My daughter is making great progress, she is always being challenged and comes home to
tell me all the wonderful things she has done in her day.
The nursery goes over and above to meet the needs of the children and parents. They post timely updates on their app about the children’s day at nursery as well as pictures, videos and assessments. Furthermore, they have regular parents’ evenings where you meet the team discuss your child’s progress and see the space.
Whenever I have contacted the nursery, which is very regularly, they have always gotten back to me in a timely and professional manner, doing the utmost to meet my requests.
I highly recommend Blue Butterfly to any parent, most importantly they ensure my child is happy and safe every time they are there!

Our daughter has been attending the nursery for a little over a year. She is flourishing there and we are grateful to the hardworking, dedicated and knowledgeable staff at Blue Butterfly Pinner. We are sending our other baby in this year and we are really looking forward to her coming home excited to
tell us the great things she’s been doing like her big sister does. We’re grateful to the management who answer queries immediately, even on weekends - really useful for working parents - and the room staff that really listen to parents and children’s needs. A very nurturing place.. we’d recommend

Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner) is an exceptional nursery striving for and achieving very high standards of nursery care. The activities are engaging, fun and educational. The staff are lovely and genuinely care for the health and wellbeing of my children. Feedback on my children is great and the
nursery has managed the whole COVID situation very well. My twins go in happy and always leave happy - so what more can I ask for. They (my twins) have definitely flourished at Blue Butterfly.

My daughter has had no settling issues, the staff and key workers she has had have created the best possible environment. She started off as a fussy eater at 11 months and now eats all the meals at the nursery. The meals are also of high quality, freshly prepared and varied. I highly rate the food provided
to the children here.
The extracurricular activities, as well as daily activities, are appropriate at every stage. Blue Butterfly provided a great foundation for her learning and development. My daughter has been very happy here, therefore happy mum.

My daughter joined Blue Butterfly during Covid, so it was difficult to judge the nursery with the pivots and strains everyone had to adhere to at that time. I must say since restrictions have eased, I am incredibly pleased with my daughter’s learning through Montessori practices. There is an excellent
app communication tool that keeps us up to date on every aspect of her learning. The meals are vegetarian and healthy, which is nice because we eat meat at home, and it’s a great balance for her. Her key worker and other workers take a genuine interest in her welfare and progress, but more importantly, for us, her all-around general happiness. As a former teacher, I’m interested in education, but at that age, I’m even more interested in her having fun and exploring new relationships. Blue Butterfly is excellent in this respect. I wish she had attended this school earlier, and it’s testament to the fact they are always full with a waiting list that this is the best nursery.

Our little lockdown baby has settled in so well to the nursery. We were expecting her to take a while to transition but the fantastic staff in the baby room gave her so much reassurance, gained her trust and formed a strong relationship with her quickly - she loves it! She has responded so well to
the routine, all of the activities and play and seems to learn something new every day. She is thriving.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.218)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.218) out of 10 for Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.885 for Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner) is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Butterfly Montessori (Pinner) is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.533

  • 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.
