Butterflies is an OFSTED registered childcare and education setting for children from the age of two years.
Our pre-school is open five days a week during term time, with morning sessions from 9am - 12noon and afternoon sessions from 12noon - 3pm. Our sessions provide a safe, caring and happy environment where children can learn through play and develop as an individual. Sessions are based on the key areas of learning and development from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) set out by the Department for Education and our high staff to child ratios means we can guarantee a personalised approach to your child's education.
We understand that development can look different for every child; that's why our priority is to care for each and every child, supporting their development wherever they are at. We pride ourselves on being able to tailor our activities to ensure every child can participate, that they feel encouraged in their progress, and that they can learn at a pace that suits them.
But don't take our word for it... read what some of our parents are saying!
Sessions with Butterflies cost £20 each, with an additional supplementary fee of £3 per day. This additional cost enables us to enhance our provision by being able to offer greater resources, to expand our activities to include weekly PE sessions with a qualified fitness instructor, and to be able to offer a variety of fresh and healthy snacks.
Various
funding options are available through the local authority, including 15 hours of funding per week for all children aged 3 and over. Unsure where to begin with funding? Just get in touch, we'd be happy to help you find out more!
We'd love to talk to you about how we can help you and your child. Get in touch with us by emailing
