My son has been attending Blue Butterfly Montessori since the beginning of this year and we have been very happy with the nursery. I was anxious about him starting nursery as he was born during the pandemic and did not have a chance to attend baby classes and interact with many people. I did not need
to worry so much as the environment is so supportive and he has thrived. I was also worried about some food intolerances he has, again he is well looked after and extra care is taken around mealtimes.
All the staff have been wonderful both in his room and in the office. We always get a good handover at the end of the day and any questions we have are always answered. Communication is always regular from the nursery, as well as regular observations with regard to his development. We recently, unfortunately, had a hospital stay with my youngest child and the staff were amazing at providing extra support to my son and us as a family, so grateful for their kindness.

We have two children at Blue Butterfly Montessori (Stanmore) who have both had a challenging start to their lives and therefore we were quite anxious about them starting nursery but we have found Blue Butterfly Montessori (Stanmore)as a setting is super nurturing and provides a sympathetic and supportive
environment where our children have thrived.
One of our children has special needs and we feel all of the Blue Butterfly Montessori (Stanmore) staff understand her needs and do their utmost to ensure she is cared for, included in everything and feels comfortable.
All of the staff we have encountered are so caring and thoughtful and really do all they can to ease the pressures on our family.
I cannot commend the Blue room key workers and the special educational needs care coordinator enough. If I had more children I would definitely send them here and I would not hesitate in recommending this setting to any parent looking for a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to be the best versions of themselves and taught wonderful values. Our children love the delicious food also.

My daughter has been at the nursery for four months, and she has settled in wonderfully. All the practitioners are warm, caring and attentive. They have helped my daughter develop so many skills, which I am sure I would not have been able to do myself at home. For example, being able to communicate
through sign language and playing with her peers, including sharing and walking!
The nursery is cleaned regularly and is big and airy.
The playground is lovely too!
I would highly recommend it! Thank you, Blue Butterfly Montessori (Stanmore)!

The staff are amazing! My child is happy and loves nursery.
The staff communicate well and we could not be happier with the care.
There is always a positive vibe in the whole nursery and children reflect on this.
Leaving my child at the door I feel confident he will be well looked after, just
like family would!
Thank you for everything you do for us as a family and being part of our child's journey.

My child joined a few months ago and we are very pleased with the nursery and our child's progress as a result. We were nervous about moving him from a previous nursery, but he transitioned so well. The structure and activities here using the Montessori method are wonderful. The Blue room, with the
oldest children, has extracurricular activities which keep the children entertained and excited about learning new and varied things.
The staff are very kind, courteous, and attentive, and I feel that has had a real positive impact on my child and us as parents. The facilities are excellent, having been purpose-built, everything has been thought of and I feel my child gets the best of the best. All clean and child-proof in a safe and welcoming, bright environment. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents as well as for new staff. It has a real community feel about it.

Enrolling our son at Blue Butterfly Stanmore is the best decision we have ever made. Our son loves it! You can see the time and effort the staff take to prepare a variety of activities for the children. I have seen my son develop, and it's clear that he has formed a close bond with all the staff there.
He eats well, sleeps well, and comes home with the cheekiest grin on his face. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you to all the staff, you're doing an outstanding job. Keep it up!

My daughter started nursery at the end of October 2021, and at first, I was very nervous. However, I have been blown away by how amazing the staff are at looking after our wild little one! She has developed so much in the past month due to encouragement and various Montessori activities. She loves going
to Nursery and now always comes back out with a smile. The Management team are also very helpful and prompt with sorting out any issues. I love that the Nursery has an app that they update throughout the day which tells us what our little one has been up to, which leaves us less anxious. I would highly recommend this Nursery to everyone!

We absolutely love this nursery! Both our one and three year old attend this nursery and are doing very well there! The staff are excellent and nurturing, the nursery is brand new, really well kitted out, everything is so fresh, clean and new! There is lots of light and very large and spacious rooms.
The children are thriving there, our 3-year-old did not talk much but since going to Blue Butterfly Montessori she really has become quite a chatterbox and she loves her nursery! We are very well updated about all aspects and the education and Montessori learning offered is absolutely fantastic. We have been very impressed with the level of teaching and commitment from the practitioners and highly recommend this nursery. We find the curriculum quite advanced and inspiring. Our daughter has attended other nurseries in the past and something never quite seemed right, however, we have 100% peace of mind with this nursery and that's why both our kids are in attendance!

Brilliant nursery! The staff are so friendly and professional. All the staff including the management have been so dedicated in helping my daughter settle in making it a really smooth transition. They’re always available to help with any queries or concerns and genuinely care about making sure she has
the best possible day.
The type and range of activities are excellent and so varied, I've been so impressed with how the nursery caters not only to my daughter’s educational needs but also her emotional, mental and physical development.
An all-round fantastic nursery and I can’t wait for my son to start to!

My grandson has been attending Blue Butterfly since it opened in February 2021 and we are all so pleased with the progress he has made! As an only child during lockdown, we worried for his social skills not being with other children and all he had missed out on due to the pandemic. The girls in his
room reassured us and made the settling in process so smooth and enjoyable for the whole family, we received updates and pictures on the app, called many times to the office where they checked in on him and confirmed what a wonderful time he was having.
We are so grateful for the love, care and education he is receiving at nursery. He is beginning to copy nursery rhymes', sleeping better at night and using his cutlery on his own - he loves the food, we have copied some of the menu at home too!
Thank you.

Blue Butterfly Montessori is an outstanding nursery. Since my daughter joined, her confidence in interacting with other children and adults has grown. The staff members are wonderful, creating a secure and caring environment which my daughter feels safe at. They also encourage and promote learning through
doing. I have definitely seen my daughter grow and develop her life skills. Staff members focus on keeping parents updated throughout the day which makes me feel at ease knowing my daughter is having a wonderful day!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.417)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.417) out of 10 for Blue Butterfly Montessori (Stanmore) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 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 4.685 for Blue Butterfly Montessori (Stanmore) is calculated as follows: ( (199 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.685

  • 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 4.732 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Butterfly Montessori (Stanmore) is based on 18 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 123 number of registered child places is 24.6. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 24.6 = 0.732

  • 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.
