September 4, 2024 at 12:27 pmLovely team and setting. He has attended since 14 months old and he continues to learn and develop beautifully. The team are genuinely attentive and know him so well. Incredible childcare centre, my little boy continues to thrive.

October 1, 2024 at 4:26 amOne of our two daughters is still there now. I regularly suggest the childcare centre to others and we changed from a different local childcare centre to this setting and both kids settled very well. The team are attentive and inviting and welcoming. I have consistently been really pleased with Butterfly Blue Childcare centre.

October 1, 2024 at 7:34 amHe has settled in very well and consistently gives a big smile on drop-off. He has an outstanding choice of food and activities to do. He is well looked after. With help of the childcare centre, he is developing really well and hitting all his milestones. Definitely suggest. Outstanding childcare centre, my son has been attending for three days a week (he is now one) for three months.

December 22, 2024 at 12:36 amMy son was 3 when he started coming to Butterfly Blue. The building is stunning – very spacious rooms full of activity toys. There is a nice garden area with little activity stations. They have very interesting activities for him and delicious lunches. Educators are attentive and welcoming. My little boy was very cheerful going to childcare centre. What a shame we moved out from Colchester. Incredible childcare centre.

December 24, 2024 at 9:27 pmThe rooms are badly run, chaotic, inconsistent team members, team would leave with no notice period which can be unsettling for the kids. Management would lie and claim to have sent letters. Funding isn’t well utilised, keeping fees very high.
My kid was actually cheerful to not be returning which I think says a lot! Unlikely to suggest this childcare centre.

February 20, 2025 at 1:13 amThe quality and variety of activities and meals that she does/receives are also outstanding. She is obviously very cheerful and often chats about her childcare centre friends and practitioners.
We sense the updates from the childcare centre itself could be better though. We still struggle to receive the general emails (unless it’s to do with the finance side of things which consistently seem to come through) with often one of us receiving something and not the other and vice versa. On some occasions neither of us have received news for a while and had to ring the office to check we haven’t missed something. We are very cheerful with the care received by our daughter and updates from her room via the Tapestry App/Site is particularly great thanks to an outstanding room leader and key worker.

March 23, 2025 at 1:33 pmSo we chose to move him to Butterfly Blue Day Nursey. He does show slight signs of autism and one of the team quickly picked them up and acted upon it with referrals. I cannot begin to tell you how quickly he changed, he is so cheerful and runs into the room. The team show how much they care. Lifesaver for his mum and myself. Thank you Butterfly Blue. My grandson was at another childcare centre where he screamed all day, it was distressing for me as I take and pick him up from childcare centre.

April 13, 2025 at 8:18 pmWe are extremely cheerful with his development since starting at the childcare centre. He is so excited to attend and loves all the activities that are planned for him. After taking him out of a different childcare centre last year, we are absolutely blown away by all the thought and processes that goes into the kids’s activities every week. It does not go unnoticed, thank you.
Our son is consistently full of excitement when coming out of the childcare centre to tell us what he has done that day. All the team are exceptional and attentive with him. They have had a change around of team but we see it as a positive. The sensory room and garden are remarkable and a real added bonus for the childcare centre.
Thanks to all at Butterfly Blue Childcare centre. Our son has been attending Butterfly Blue Childcare centre since September 2020.

April 15, 2025 at 2:35 amConsistently doing lots of activities and have noticed the development progression since she’s started. Lovely welcoming team who are excellent with her. Remarkable childcare centre, our daughter goes twice a week and she loves it!

April 17, 2025 at 2:53 amHe has progressed so much since coming to this childcare centre.
His key worker is incredible with my boy and he is very well looked after.
Unfortunately, he is having to move nurseries, no fault to their own but I know he will miss his friends and his key worker. My son currently goes here and he absolutely loves it.

May 8, 2025 at 1:05 pmHe loves going to childcare centre every day. The team in his room are incredible and have a genuine connection with my son which makes me trust he’s secure during the day. The team work tirelessly to ensure the kids have exciting activities to do on a daily basis and my son has done so well in their care. I would suggest Butterfly Blue to anyone moving to Colchester. My son has been with Butterfly Blue since he was 8 months old.

May 14, 2025 at 11:44 pmThe rooms are large and laid out with enjoyable and varied activities for the kids. It’s bright and welcoming and the kids consistently seem cheerful. Our son cannot wait to get to childcare centre on his days and has developed immensely since attending. The team are very compassionate, welcoming and supportive. Nothing is ever too much of a problem. We adore seeing the updates on tapestry. The place consistently looks spotless and they go to enormous lengths to keep the kids secure and well in light of Covid. The childcare centre is incredible.

July 4, 2025 at 2:13 amThe team have been absolutely exceptional in every way, clearly explaining everything from the beginning. The childcare centre is incredibly spotless and organised with so much for the kids to do/explore. My daughter took immediately to her new surroundings and her lovely new Key Worker. I get kept well informed via tapestry of her day to day activities and it’s a excellent insight to what she’s been up to during the course of the day. This is our 3rd childcare centre setting for our daughter and is by far the absolute best out of them all.
Thank you Butterfly Blue for all that you do! I will suggest you to any parents in a heartbeat.
x My daughter has only been at Butterfly Blue for a few weeks, but having to find a new childcare centre at such short notice for her, ended up turning a very stressful situation in the most incredible one.
