I have been a mum at the butterfly patch for 8 years and have had a wonderful experience with all 3 of my children. I currently have 2 children still at The Butterfly Patch and they are very happy and comfortable with the friendly, loving staff.

The staff at The Butterfly Patch are all so friendly and great with the children. It took my son a while to settle when he started, but the staff made me feel more at ease when leaving him. He loves it now and can't wait to go every day.

My daughter has been at the butterfly patch for 2 years now and she is so happy there. She loves going to nursery and has a wonderful relationship with her key worker, as well as the rest of the staff. We get half termly updates on her progress which are always detailed and it's clear that the staff
know her so well.

We have had a really positive experience with the butterfly patch at avenue primary. Our son genuinely loves going to nursery. He's been there for 1 year, since he was one. I believe that is entirely down to the staff they have. Whoever we speak to are always really knowledgable of how his day has gone.
They are also always so happy to answer any questions we have on him and how things are going. They are also term time, which we have found really useful.

This nursery is absolutely fantastic. The staff are brilliant and ensure that all of the children are cared for and nurtured throughout their time at the nursery. The children get to participate in forest school, tot stars and trips out which broadens their nursery experience. The parent/carer engagement
is superb. There have been multiple times when parents and carers have been invited into nursery e.g Father's Day, Mother's Day and sports day events. I would highly recommend this nursery for all families as the care my daughter has had over the past 3 years has been wonderful.

My son is 2 and a half and has been at Butterfly Patch Sutton since he was 11 months old. All of the staff are welcoming and know him so well. We get daily updates via the app and a detailed handover at pick-up. They regularly plan activities and experiences that really help the children to develop
and enjoy their time at nursery!

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 9 months old and she loves it there. It works really well with being a teacher having term time care. My daughter has a great relationship with the staff and I'm always confident she will be well looked after.

Our two-and-a-half-year-old loves attending The Butterfly Patch at Avenue Primary Academy. She is always happy to go, and that's because of the kind, caring and fun staff that she sees each day. This is the second child we've had at the nursery, and the whole experience has been very good. I wouldn't
hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

Such a welcoming nursery, as we were viewing nurseries, the Butterfly Patch, Sutton was the one that made us feel the most welcomed and suited the needs we wanted for our son. Every member of staff is lovely and the manager is always there to help, if we have a problem. Each day our son is at nursery,
we get updates every day about how well he is doing or not doing. We also get updates on what he’s eaten throughout the day and how long he has slept! I definitely couldn’t recommend a better nursery than this one!

Lovely nursery. My son has settled in well, has been able to make friends and integrated well with the nursery routine. He so looks forward to going to the nursery in that even on the days he doesn’t need to attend, he’s stuck at the gate crying as we’re dropping off his elder brother to school. The
staff are so professional, warm up to both the kids and their parents too. Fantastic service, the manager is so down to earth. I would recommend this nursery every time!

The team at The Butterfly Patch Avenue Primary Academy have been absolutely amazing over the lockdown period since January. In extremely challenging circumstances, they have continued to provide the best care for our children. Every morning and evening, they are there with a smile on their face. They
make you all feel a huge part of the nursery family at a time when people could feel isolated. My little boy loves going to nursery and he is making fantastic progress, which is hugely down to the wonderful adults at the nursery. As a parent, I feel the staff know my son and genuinely care for him. I’m so pleased we chose The Butterfly Patch Avenue Primary Academy.

My daughter attends the nursery and I have seen such a difference in her in a short space of time. The staff are amazing, helpful and my daughter clearly really loves it at nursery by how she reacts when she see them. They do fun activities indoors an outdoors an I would not hesitate to recommend this
nursery to anyone based on this. They have also been so helpful through out lockdown.

My one year old absolutely loves going to nursery! When I returned to work in October, I was extremely worried about leaving him, given he hadn’t spent time with anyone other than his immediate family and it was a huge relief to see him settle in so quickly. The regular updates and photos showing us
what a wonderful time he has been having have been really appreciated and the friendly, caring staff are a credit to the nursery. He gets excited to go to nursery every morning and comes home at the end of every day messy and exhausted. This is testament to the great day he’s had at The Butterfly Patch Avenue Primary Academy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.819)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.819) out of 10 for The Butterfly Patch Sutton (at Avenue Primary) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.819 for The Butterfly Patch Sutton (at Avenue Primary) is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.819

  • 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 The Butterfly Patch Sutton (at Avenue Primary) is based on 12 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 18 number of registered child places is 3.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
