Myself and my child have only ever had positive experiences with the nursery. All staff are very friendly. The rooms are set up lovely to adhere to the development of the children at each age, and the outside environment also reflects this. The menu they provide is full of variety and is a lovely balanced
meal plan. My child seems to enjoy all the food prepared. Communication between the nursery and myself is exceptional. They are always happy to listen to any queries, be it in person, on the phone or through an email- the responses are quick and have always been very helpful. They have frequent trips out into the community, which I think is essential for any child to have, to improve all aspects of their learning and development. My child is always happy and excited to be going to 'school' to see their friends and I think this just confirms the level of care given is of high standard. Would highly recommend this Nursery to anyone.

My daughter goes to kids planet butterfly Lodge and she absolutely loves it. The staff are lovely and my daughter talks about them all often even when she's at home. She settled in straight away with no issues, which was surprising as she never settled at her previous nursery. I couldn't be happier
with the care provided for my daughter. I would highly recommend the nursery.

When our nursery journey first started over a year ago I was so overwhelmed at the thought of leaving our baby for the very first time. The team made it so much easier than I ever could have imagined. They made it a lovely experience for me and baby.
He's now nearly 22 months and still gets excited
for his two days at nursery.
I know he's in super safe, caring and protective hands and I can't ask for more than that!
Thank you to you all, you all do such an amazing job taking care and teaching our babies.

Can't speak highly enough about Butterfly Lodge! My daughter started in the baby room and is now in the Rising 3s room, and she absolutely loves it. From the moment she started, the staff have been so warm, welcoming and attentive to her needs. They genuinely care about the children and create such
a nurturing and stimulating environment. Every day, she comes home excited to tell me about what she's been doing-whether it's messy play, outdoor adventures, or learning new songs and stories. The activities are engaging and well-planned, helping her develop both socially and academically. I've noticed such a boost in her confidence and independence since she started here!
The communication from the team is fantastic and I always feel reassured that she's in safe, capable hands. The staff go above and beyond to make sure each child feels happy and supported. It's clear they are passionate about what they do, and that makes all the difference.

My little boy is in the toddler room and absolutely loves it here, he has gained so much confidence and character since starting in November. The staff are lovely and very supportive he's learnt so much they have also helped with him not needing his dummy anymore. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

This is a brilliant nursery. Lovely staff and it is a nice environment. The only issue is the pram shed, other parents just leave the prams up without folding and I struggled to get my daughter's pram inside. I hope this gets sorted out soon. Other than that the nursery staff are brilliant!

Reply from Lisa Taylor, Area Manager at Kids Planet Butterfly Lodge

Thank you for your lovely review about our nursery. We will send a comms out to parents about folding prams up before putting them away in the pram shed. It is great that you think our nursery is brilliant! I have passed your feedback on to the staff team.

We have been with Kids Planet Butterfly Lodge since September 2018 and both our children have been there from aged 1. We have never had any issues and it has been wonderful to watch it go from strength to strength. As our daughter draws to the end of her last couple of months before school I can’t be
any more grateful to all the amazing staff. She is so happy and settled, there are rarely tears at drop off and she’s always beaming when we pick her up. She has come on so much in pre-school with both her writing and her love for books. I love checking the app to see what adventures she has been on, or the games/activities they have been playing in the garden. I already feel emotional thinking about how sad we’ll all be to leave this amazing nursery that has been a huge part of our lives and the children’s development for the last 5 years. I cannot recommend them enough

Such an amazing nursery. My daughter is in the baby room and is progressing so much. We get updated regularly on an app which shows how many naps they have, what they eat and also regular photos of activities during the day.
The staff are polite and clearly care, with what seems to be great management
with a clean environment.

My daughter started at Kids Planet Butterfly Lodge in the toddler room, from the moment we went to look around and when she started. We got made to feel welcome, and everyone was lovely, there was no awkward atmosphere that you get in other settings. My daughter has come on so much. her speech since
starting there is incredible she runs straight in and is excited. They do so much for them, they are always doing activities and going for walks.

Beyond Outstanding! We genuinely can't thank this place enough for what they have done for our son in such a short space of time. Since starting here, he has come on leaps and bounds within all stages of his development. Every single one of the staff here are simply amazing. There is such a warm, caring,
family feel here, from day 1 they made us feel so welcome. The difference in his speech and language has been unbelievable. Without a doubt it's because of the caring, positive and happy vibe they all bring here. The activities they have are very creative and stimulating, which has greatly developed his learning and ability to focus. They go on many outings and exciting adventures and just have lots and lots of fun, which to us is what it should be about. We just love seeing how happy he is to go and how much he is thriving there. The patience and support they give is above and beyond and nothing is ever too much trouble for us or our son, Thank you for everything we will always be grateful

Fantastic nursery. Staff go above and beyond and are all so kind. It's not easy having to leave your child so you can go to work, but it really puts your mind at ease knowing they are being cared for by such a lovely team - wouldn't send my child anywhere else.

My son's only been going here for a couple of months and already he's settling in so well. At first, I was a bit nervous obviously leaving him. But now he loves going there. The staff are so caring and reassuring. He comes home with all sorts of pictures and paintings that he's done there. Also, the
picture update throughout the day he's there just makes me so happy to see he's learning and making friends. The meals he eats are outstanding and he enjoys every one. I highly recommend this nursery 100%.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Kids Planet Butterfly Lodge 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.893 for Kids Planet Butterfly Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.893

  • 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 Kids Planet Butterfly Lodge is based on 11 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
