Fantastic nursery cared for my three children over the years. Different managers over the years and different staff but never has it once affected the care given to my children. They say it takes a village to raise a child and Butterfly Lodge staff, past and present, have been my village through rough
and good times and I couldn't be more grateful.

My son has attended Butterfly Lodge since the baby room and is now in toddlers. The management and staff have made a conscious effort to make sure my child's needs are met and that he gets the most out of the time he is there. Nothing is ever too much for all the staff and offer extra reassurance on
days that hes not 100%.
I have seen a noticeable positive change in his development since attending nursery.
I get frequent updates on his day to let me know what activities hes taken part in and what he's eaten.
There are regular learning stories shared with me informing me of what milestones my child is achieving in the birth-five matters framework.
My son is happy and thriving when attending Butterfly Lodge. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. The activities he takes part in are fun and creative and encourage learning and language. My son loves being outdoors and visiting new places, Butterfly Lodge offers local visits to a range of places.

Brilliant nursery! My little boy has attended since he was 6 months old and has so much fun here. The staff are amazing and create lots of fun and educational activities for the children. They go on lots of trips out too, which my little one enjoys. The staff are so helpful and friendly. They follow
your child's routine and keep you well-informed about what your child has done throughout the day. I couldn't imagine sending him anywhere else. The care they provide is excellent. My child is becoming more confident and always looks so happy at nursery.

I've been scared to send my daughter to nursery, she was born during Covid so it's always been hard leaving her as she's very wary of new people.
She has settled in so well and I love the updates we get on the app when she is in.

All the days I pick my grandchild up he always has a smile on his face, and the staff are always helpful, saying how his day has gone. They inform me of the activities he has been doing, and what he has eaten that day,very helpful.

I couldn’t imagine my daughter going to any other nursery. It took a while for her to settle but every single member of staff was amazing with her, she now can’t wait to go. She looks so happy and relaxed when I pick her up and is becoming more confident by the day.

If there was a higher rating than a 5-star nursery Butterfly Lodge would have it. The patience and support they give are amazing, nothing is ever too much for me or my child. Since starting here he’s come on leaps and bounds within all stages of his development. Thank you to all of you for everything
you do for my son!!! I can’t wait to continue watching him learn and grow in your care. Thanks again!

This nursery is outstanding! My 2 year old son has come on leaps and bounds since being here, they have even helped us potty train him! They work extremely hard and nothing is too much trouble EVER! I trust the nursery with my son's life! So much so that we are now putting our 1 yr old daughter in their
care starting in March.

I absolutely love Butterfly Lodge as does my little boy. We struggled finding a nursery until he came here and straight away he settled in. They keep me well informed of his activities and his progression and he has come out of his shell and is a real confident little boy. He has formed some great little
friendships and always looks forward to going and seeing his friends. He adores his key worker and the other workers in his room and they are always out and about doing different activities. All the staff are so approachable and friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble.

Both my children are at this nursery and love it. The staff are great with the children- welcoming, friendly and available for hugs and comforting words for any nervous or upset children! They keep me well informed of my children's progress and there always seems to be events on to help keep the children
interested. I couldn't be happier with how my children have settled there and know they will miss nursery when they leave!

I have two children that attend Butterfly Lodge Nursery.


I wouldn't send my children anywhere else.


The staff are excellent with the children and the management are very approachable and friendly.


Children receive three cooked meals a day by their own chef which are healthy and provide

the child with the goodness needed.


Both my children go on regular trips out and regularly play activities in the garden.


Couldn't recommend this nursery any more.

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.
